Hailing from DC where he played in the underground Funkadelic spinoff, Clown Red (with funkateer and album artist Stozo the Clown) and the recording project Sick Individual, Roach (David Simmons) is known for his insatiable hedonistic appetite and keyboard wizardry. He made his name in Portland, OR playing in Starantula, Fireballs of Freedom, Pure Decadence, Divining Rods, Lounge-X, The Brothers Blood, and Hellhound. Also played a few shows with The Weaklings, Thee Headliners, and Sub Arachnoid Space before moving to Raleigh, NC where he started this one man party band.

New Raleigh "Five Questions With the Infamous Sugar"
The Independent "Portland, Ore., expat The Infamous Sugar is a one-man band subsisting on piss, vinegar, shit-talk, sex-jive and, well, sugar. His sinister odes to debauchery and running with the devil come laced with hooks so delectable that biting the bait—being a belligerent badass and living to sing the stories—becomes that much easier."
Mann's World "Raleigh's new favorite band is The [Infamous] Sugar judging by the reception this one-man band's bawdy Nuggets-style keyboard-rock got last night at Slim's. Imagine a cross between Ray Manzarek and Blowfly, and you have a good idea of what he's all about."
The IndependentOne-man keyboard band The Sugar recently relocated from Portland to Raleigh, and his shit-talking, whiskey-and-women-loving organ blizzards have already won the hearts and bottles of Slim's. Honestly, who could resist a guy who manages these two lyrics in the same set: "Well, they call me The Sugar/ Because I'm so fuckin' sweet/ Like a sticky pastry/ Or some tasty treat" and "Don't tell me not to cuss/ Don't tell me not to smoke/ If all you can do is worry about me/ your life must be a joke.
