About Me

Sugar Crisis were formed in continental Europe during the revolts of 1848 and then again in Scotland in 2007 - the second time with armaments.

In both incarnations they stand in a complex relationship to their age: both King Frederick William IV and Proudhon accused them of 'poking the squirrel' and today their music reverses medium and message, a tesseract of criticism; judo-hurling the culture industry down onto its dessicant arse.
Sugar Crisis insist on major chords and the calcification of carbon footprints 'to whisper a carnival of shaven futures'. They have their 'own reasons' for everything. Their logo allegorises the gynaecogenic _jouissance_ of Circuit Seven psychedelic experience.
Only their singing can unzip this biography.
Sugar Crisis are Neil Brunton and Lorna Anthony and they are waiting for you at the end of your journey, smiling.
