Sugargum

Sugargum celebrate the release of their new single "Gold" with a special launch show on October 10 at Shotkickers Thornbury joined by Pepper La Floyd and Pontoon. Known for a distinct sound that's difficult to box but effortlessly enjoyable, Sugargum fuse the raw energy of classic rock with the sharp hooks and heart of modern indie.
Gold is the third single released by Sugargum after being in the works for over a year. Gold shows off the experimental side of the band that has long been waiting to be released for the listener to enjoy. From the first moment the guitar riff begins you are momentarily taken to another frequency that is rather enjoyable, all the way to the encapsulating outro gold is something special that truly makes you feel. Take a moment to really appreciate the diverse soundscapes. It could be nice to take in the view. All members of Sugargum are immensely proud to finally be releasing this track.
Pepper la Floyd are a rock powerhouse from Melbourne, delivering high-energy performances and a sound that mixes the golden era of classic rock with their own unique twist. Becoming a notable name in the Melbourne music scene Pepper La Floyd are definitely a band to keep your eye on.
Finn Clarke and Xavier Kelly form the Psych Rock outfit ‘Pontoon’. Channeling shared loves of Psychedelia, Folk Rock and Dance music, Pontoon spends as much time refining the atmosphere of a song, as the song itself. Obsessions with poetic lyricism, dense vocal harmony and impractically vintage gear shape Pontoons music into hazy sounds fitting for an episode of Twin Peaks.
