Sugar Louise

”Facing an audience, you don’t necessarily have to be the greatest band in the world, but it’s essential to act like you are. Sugar Louise is that kind of band!”
– Ole Jacob Hoel, Adressa (N).

Since their first appearance in the Norwegian underground in 2009, Sugar Louise have delivered spectacular live-shows, with catchy tunes, soap bubbles and free candy for the audience. From their own label, Naked Hollywood Records, Sugar Louise has released a handful of singles and their critically acknowledged debut album «Everythings Better With Sugar» (2011). They´ve also become locally famous for their promotion stunts, such as handing out a quarter of a ton of candy, the launching of «Burn Your Bono Day» and especially for playing 24 shows in 24 hours to promote the release of their album. During the last years they´ve played a solid amount of shows, covering everything from small clubs, prisons and youth centers, to 5000 dancing people at the City Square.

Last summer tragedy struck, and guitar-player Øystein was found dead in the water after an almost 2 weeks long search led by the band. Right before Xmas Sugar Louise invited good friends and put together a show for his memory, and they also re-released their debut on blue vinyl, accompanied by a documentary from their previous 24 hour marathon.

Sugar Louise has previously shared stages with acts like Chixdiggit!, Kepi Ghoulie, and Honest John Plain (The Boys), played invitational shows for Little Steven van Zandt, and they´ve collaborated with artists and producers like Mike Shear and Ted Jensen.

In 2013 Sugar Louise is completely up and running, with a Norwegian tour coming up in the spring, some festivals already booked for the summer, and a brand new album in the making.

Sugar Louise brightens up your winter darkness and light fire to your summer BBQ. With their anti-depressive 3-chord punkrock, with clear references to bands such as NOFX, The Ramones and The Boys, these Norwegians ignite the dreams of endless summer romances and all year bathing temperatures over 25 degrees Celsius!

Cheers!
