The Sauce

About Me


The Sauce was originally formulated in August 2006. They are lively four piece band playing roots Reggae inspired goodness. With the expert guidance of engineer Brian Wallace, they recorded their first album, Twelve Fluid Ounces. The Sauce is Chuckie Woods, Angel Lopez, Steve Sulgit, and Brandon Hill. We work all day, play music all night, and drop the jam all over this crusty city. The Sauce is now, once again, ready to spread itself to the South Bay and beyond. Watch out, now!

Twelve Fluid Ounces was recorded at Rockwell Sounds in Atascadero, California March 10th to March 14th, 2007. Engineer Brian Wallace added his genius to our formula, adapting readily to our pace and maintaining an otherworldly patience. He also reinvented the clavinet for us, creating a sculpture of percussion that adds unique texture to Whatever You Want, Pants-Off Dance-Off (name inspired by Brian) and Left Alone.
The album was mastered by sound wizard Christopher Scott Cooper at Blue Seven Audio in Fremont, California. Chris's expert ear and elite experience brought out our personality perfectly. Production by ProMedia Digital in Dayton, Ohio, who were prompt, friendly and incredibly helpful in meeting our schedule.
From the meditative and catchy Save Some Time to the raucous ragamuffin titled Santa, each Fluid Ounce offers something unique in flavor, the culmination of which is thought-provoking yet joyous. Tuck in.
If you just want to hear more and have already played the 3 tunes in our jukebox to death, we will be carrying albums at the shows. They are also conveniently located at the Santa Clara Starving Musician. (408)-554-9041

Chuckie Woods was born to modest Amish folk in the heartlands of Ohio, and fired like a bullet from a flintlock into the super science field of biostuff. He soon discovered that he could not only manipulate cell membranes, but also the six strings on a Gibson Les Paul. Music corrupted his young mind and soon he quit the lab and moved his science to making sauces of a nose tingling variety. He quickly formed his vision; a reggae super group of epic Skatalitic, ass shakin’, thunk out grooves inspired by Jah, Jimmy Carter, and Joe Camel. In addition to The Sauce, Chuckie Woods can regularly be seen appearing with FTB. Chuck has recorded woodwinds for Monkey, FTB, My Monster, El Pulpo, Eggplant Casino, The Phenomenauts, Relapse and Powder Train. He also teaches guitar, bass, saxophone, clarinet and bassoon lessons in Willow Glen and Fremont. Sign up today!

From the depths of the murky waters of sound engineering, a SteveODub climbed out with a Nord 2 slung over his back. Normally a bass player, he has attacked the keys with a ferocity a drummer could be proud of. Steve has worked extensively in South Bay theater and local music since high school. Usually found layin' down thick bass tones, Steve has put the thump in the trunk for Sadfish, Castaway, Sled, The AoDub and FTB. Steve is such a terrifying genius he learned the keys in like five minutes. Steve likes beer, metal, and messin' with drunk people, so look out! People like to mess with Steve, too, sayin’ stuff like, “Where's Steve-O? Did he go home-O?” He can still outplay a marathon jam session of Phish enthusiasts while four sheets to the wind and swingin’ from the mast.

Brandon has been dropping low bass notes since 2004, and has dedicated his energies to gourmet ska and reggae grooves. The stank off of his homebrews could make a nun want to drink. Sauce that is… The libacious flavors will send dangerous signals to the brain. Possible side effects include toe tappin’, intoxicating aural complications, and overall euphoria. Illegal in all 50 states. If you need to eat BBQ, drink homebrew, fix your computer or jam the living room like the neighbors are deaf, Brandon is your conquistador of fun.

Angel Lopez, Lopez, Lopez… been playin' bongos with the pros since the last century. He first started with the original line-up for the E-Street band. He rocked too loud for his time and so he hibernated like a bear for many generations of crap he wished would go away. One day in the future, not the one where we were promised jetpacks, Angel woke up and decided it was time for Reggae. Sauce demanded flavor, the drums, and subtle undertones of fucking rock! He took this passion to Reggae with the precision of an angry badger hopped up on adrenachrome! I know, a superhero needs his cover identity. He keeps busy with the illustrious Powder Train and Backwards Traveller. He also poses as a mild mannered church band drummer while teaching very private drum lessons. Angel don't see so well, so don’t throw anything at him. Angel sings like a… well, you get the idea, so he’s done a bunch of radio, too, especially for KOLA down in Redlands. Angel is working on a secret technique to subliminally implant paradiddles in his listeners' minds. This has the unfortunate side effect of making it impossible to live with a grandfather clock.
