Episode 318: Sugar Spine

Josh from Sugar Spine is on the Chord Progression Podcast today. Josh started Sugar Spine while quarantined in a hotel in Australia, where he created the entire project himself from the comfort of a bathrobe. We discuss the creation process, concerns around playing live as he is currently the only man in the band, why you must treat your band like a business to succeed in today's music scene, and call on Nik Nocturnal and the 2 Rockin Grannies to react to the next Sugar Spine song when it drops.   Find Sugar Spine Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sugarspine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sugar.spine/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR17pkJCZipn7lexDn5KDbg Website: https://sugarspine.bandcamp.com/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2xevVC5j2Ink2VeA2wnwkR?si=sPqfw4VeQ9y8Dk_OV1TsUw Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/sugar-spine/1587247860   Check out Josh's other band Unburden: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnburdenNL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unburden.nl/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSkaDqveudmjgtI0dpqW0ZQ/featured Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0732jEsBYVhybV7IOphhLd?si=JROMwrElStuIM-A1iz6beQ Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/unburden/1621266043   Get 20% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code CPP at https://www.manscaped.com #ad #manscapedpod   We Are Sponsoring WHEN WE WERE HUNGRY FESTIVAL: https://whenwewerehungryfestival.com GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chordprogressionpodcast   Twitter: https://twitter.com/cppodofficial   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chordprogressionpodcast/   Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chordprogressionpodcast   YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCqRKZCDMcFHIYbJaLQMfDbQ   Chord Progression Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/53XWPGrIUvgavKF5Fm6SLk   Chord Progression Podcast (Apple Podcast): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chord-progression/id1454876657   Chord Progression Podcast (Amazon): https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b8dad803-444c-4a73-8aa5-67b4fc43f4ba   Chord Progression Podcast (iHeart Radio): https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-chord-progression-70632531/   Podcast Webpage: https://mysongoftheday.com/my-song-of-the-day-rock-2000-today/chord-progression-podcast/   Intro: (0:00) Welcome Josh from Sugar Spine: (5:13) The Style of Sugar Spine & its Creation: (7:50) Pros and Cons of the Solo Project: (17:30) Live Show Concerns as One Man: (20:42) Live Show Progress Report: (32:25) Finding Influence Anywhere You Can: (37:15) Treating a Band Like a Business: (49:40) Difficulty Finding People as Invested as You for Your Band & Problem Solving: (53:50) The Mirror Talk EP: (1:08:33) Geeking out on the 2 Rocking Grannies: (1:22:40) Find Sugar Spine Online: (1:29:19) Closing It Out: (1:33:46)
