A little while back, sharp-dressed Los Angeles soul rockers Sugar Fly saw fit to premiere the audio of their debut single, “Blind,” in this very space. I’m not inclined to say no to that kind of thing, particularly when the groove is as tight as that coming from the newcomer outfit, who went from a trio to a stage-sustainable five-piece with the addition of guitarist Dre DiMura, also of Lunar Electric, to the already established lineup of vocalist Tia Simone, bassist Collyn McCoy (also of The Ultra Electric Mega Galactic) and drummer Noah Lifschey, also joined by keyboardist/organist Esteban Chavez since the time the single was posted.

Building an orchestra? I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Sugar Fly picked up a horn section somewhere along the line, but they’re not there yet. Still, all five members of Sugar Fly appear in the video for “Blind,” which is also released today as a download single bundled with the track “If You Want Blood,” so one gets a decent sense of what it might be like to see them onstage — which, incidentally, is where they’ll be tonight at a little place called The Viper Room. You might have heard of it sometime. I don’t know that anything big has ever really happened there. Ha.

Video and McCoy‘s announcement on Thee Facebooks follow. Enjoy:

Sugar Fly, “Blind” official video

So after months and months of working on this project, we’ve finally got something to show for it (besides a killer live show). SUGAR FLY’s single BLIND dropped today, available on Amazon, Spotify, Bandcamp, your mom… pretty much anywhere you can find digital music (iTunes in a few days I guess).

PLUS we have a killer video care of the folks at Mouser.

Like what you see/hear? We’re playing a FREE “SECRET” SHOW at the Viper Room tonight. Let me know if you want on the super secret VIP list.
