MIMIC THE POPULAR FLAVOR OF BUFFALO'S OWN, SUDDEN URGE" -(Brad Carlson, "Rockstar Magazine" Oct. 2000)...............Starting as a cover band in 1991, Sudden Urge has tasted the fruits of many, and practically all styles of music, and shared the stage with such acts as: 'Kim Mitchell', 'Ani DiFranco', 'Firehouse', 'The Marshall Tucker Band, 'Rick Derringer', 'Danzig', 'Sting', 'The Crash Test Dummies'(Played 10 North American tour shows with them), 'Coco Montoya', And Canadian 'Juno' Award Winner, 'Wide Mouth Mason'...................Sudden Urge has been chosen as 'Buffalo's Top Rock Band' two years consecutively, and a few years back, the band released it's first CD entitled 'Channel Surfer'. To do this, they enlisted the musical talents of former 'Rick James' Percussionist / Turned Hip-Hop Producer 'Rick Joyner', And 'Goo Goo Dolls' Keyboardist 'Dave Schulz'..........Since 1998, the band has enjoyed critical acclaim, by starring as 'Donny Dulce and Fusion', the "offbeat" Rock N' Roll Wedding Band in 'Tony N' Tina's Wedding' (the longest running comedy in Off-Broadway history).... It has afforded them the chance to nationally tour with the show, and perform in HUGE venues, as far south as Fort Meyers, Florida, and as far west as Salt Lake City, Utah (at the site of the 2002 Winter Olympics)........The band has also written and recorded several songs, in support of its hometown big league sports teams, 'The Buffalo Bills', and 'Buffalo Sabres'... and continues to receive airplay on many Western New York radio and television stations, and enjoyed a great deal of regular rotation on East Coast Trax Radio Network affiliates........A big break at home in Buffalo came in July of 2001, when Sudden Urge played to over 15,000+ and opened the Buffalo leg of the 'Jim Rome World Tour' at Dunn Tire Baseball Stadium. They performed a vast mixture of cover and original music off of their October 2000 CD release, 'Channel Surfer'.... Soon after this performance, the band secured a coveted spot to attend the world famous 'North By North East Music Conference', in Toronto. While in Toronto, Sudden Urge had the good fortune of conferencing with such international artists as David Usher, Shawn Mullens, Francine Chaloult (Celine Dion's Publicist), and other internationally successful artists and industry insiders. Much was said of Sudden Urge's music, and their Debut CD (Channel Surfer) met with positive reviews.NOTE: Sudden Urge is currently playing Nightclubs, Corporate Shows, Theatrical Shows, and Private Parties. Additionally, they're continually writing & recording original songs for their upcoming CD release.
