Pour some Vintage Sugar on me

As a fan of music since I was a little girl with my dad playing me tunes stemming from the Beatles to Boston, there are not too many bands that I can really say bring these tunes that I would hear from my childhood too life as the band that I was able to just sit back and listen to tonight.  

I have had many invites through Facebook to come out and see Vintage Sugar, however being that I am a photographer and the girlfriend of a musician that plays in a few band of his own, sometimes the nights out to see other talents are limited.  I was able to get out a night out in November to photograph and enjoy the tunes, in my opinion, one of Tucson's artistic bands,, not to say that there is not much art in Tucson because there is.  If you have ever had the opportunity to see Vintage Sugar then I think you would understand what I mean.

With originals members, Greg Kershaw on guitar, Dani Ponce on Drums, Greg Robinson on Keyboards, Megan Lopez on Lead Vocals and short timer Gary Roberts on Bass, together they are coupled as one unit.  They have a way a unique way of complimenting one another.

Tonight, no photographs, just the simple enjoyment of the music, the moves and the unknown communication each member has with one another.

I was in amazement tonight, in awe of  what I witnessed not just vocally, and musically but intimately.  I mentioned a couple of times that watching Megan was sexy, not in the sense I wanted to be with her sexually, it was just I could feel her vocals and her theatrical movements on stage.

In Tucson, it is rare to see a girl lead vocalist, and when I have I do not or have not gotten the uplifting, gitty fun feeling I got when seeing Megan perform.

Each member is unique and very talented, Robinson with his smooth keyboard licks, Kershaw ripping on the guitar, Ponce hitting those drums like it is natural, Roberts boppin to the beat of his bass and Lopez wailing out tunes from a different perspective is just the the icing on the cake that compliments.

This band brings something to Tucson that no other band has or that I have not seen, from blow up dolls to the sexy yet curious moves on stage there are always dancers on the floor to the end and a crowd wanting more.

I do not just see a performance but feel it and that to me is what music is about and more.  There is a unspoken communication and bond that the band has with each other as well as the crowds they play for.

I would recommend, if you have not already, checking out Vintage Sugar as really words alone cannot describe what you will hear and witness.

They play every Friday at Whiskey Tango on the East Side of town and tonight for New Years at the Skybox which is located North Central side of town (Craycroft/River).
