Dry The River are a quintet from London, fronted by medical student Peter Liddle. Although they've only been together since August officially, they've already supported Port O'Brien at London's Scala. They count gospel, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Paul Simon as influences.
In the summer of 2002, two guys from Glasgow, Scotland - Billy Crowe and Simon Sinclair - got together to record some demos of songs they had written that had been rejected by their current bands (Summersalt and Brown Eye Superfly respectively). The two had met a couple of years earlier while working in a city centre music store, and had bonded furiously over many drinks and many more tales of broken bones and broken hearts.
There are several bands by the name of Sugar:
(1) Project of former Hüsker Dü member Bob Mould.
(2) is a Korean girl-pop group with releases in Japan and Korea
(3) is a Japanese visual-kei group (Ｓｕｇａｒ).
(4) is Australian psy-trance producer / artist Felix Hamer, on the Green Ant label from Melbourne, Australia.
(5) is a rockband from Den Bosch The Netherlands. Sugar (1) was formed by Bob Mould after the breakup of Hüsker Dü, and conceived as having a similar sound, though with Mould as the sole leader.
