Pennsylvania's Kevin O'Boyle decided one morning that recording a Christmas album might be something fun to do. If nothing else, he reasoned, it would be an interesting way to avoid having to send Christmas cards to friends and family. Give 'em a Christmas album. Win - Win. Kevin was more than confident of pulling off the musical aspects as he's proficient on a multitude of instruments and devices. But, for vocals, he thought he'd better bring in someone else and called up his friend Alexis Leon. The two brought in a few more friends and family members to round out the group and, voila, The Sugarpills were born.
In December of 2009, the Sugarpills "released" what, now, can be seen as only the beginning. "Happy B-Day Jesus" features an eclectic mix of old standards ("I Saw Three Ships", "Baby Its Cold Outside", etc.) and some newer alternative christmas songs--the modern classics if you will (and even if you won't)--songs like Ben Fold's "Bizzare Christmas Incident" and Harvey Danger's "Sometimes You Have To Work On Christmas (Sometimes)". Toss in a Hanukkah track like "Ocho Kandelikas" for spice and you've got a holiday album that's as much fun to listen to as one imagines it was to make.
And the record must've been a big hit with the neighbors, because The Sugarpills collective has continued on--playing holiday shows and recording still more music, by now essentially drafting any singer or musician who wanders by. The new album, "Christmas Spirits" will be publicly released December 1 of this year.
The Sugarpills' Christmas records have that spirit of good friends and good times that always make for a winning combination. At least I think so. Musically, the gang bounces easily from Rock to goofy camp to full on hillbilly. And the best thing about Sugarpills music is that it is absolutely free. Come December 1, we'll post the new record for y'all. But, in the meantime, stop by their web site, meet some of the group, and grab "Happy B-Day Jesus". It's there for you to be had. So go have some.
