SugarcultSugarcult are a lively, 70s-inspired 'power-pop' band, formed in Santa Barbara, CA in 1998. The name 'Sugarcult' came from a group of lesbians that used to live across from the lead singer Tim Pagnotta. Tim met ex-drummer Ben Davis during a cigarette break at school. Ben (who then played bass) and Tim started to play together on a regular basis until Tim invited Airin Older, a fellow classmate, to join. Ben was moved to the position of drummer and Airin filled in for Ben on the electric bass. Marko 72 was added into the band after meeting Tim back stage at a Superdrag concert. The pair apparently met because Tim was wearing a suit that resembled the one Marko wore to the show. Tim asked Marko to join the band before even hearing Marko play a single note on the guitar. After the release of their debut album, Start Static, fans began to notice the regular absences of Ben Davis behind the drum kit. In 2003, Ben officially left Sugarcult. Ben was replaced by Kenny Livingston, the drummer for the band Lefty. The current line up is: Tim Pagnotta - lead vocals/guitar/songwriter, Kenny Livingston - drums, Airin Older - bass/vocals, Marko 72 - Guitar. Discography Start Static - Rumbo Recorders (Los Angeles) – 2001 The album was released in 2003 in Europe and was released in Japan in April of 2004.
