CD REVIEW-DOS MACHOS

Boyd Street
April 2004

Take some funk from Memphis, put it together with some jazz and groove from Nawlins and add some original catchy flavor, local band Sugar Free Allstars are making their mark on the Norman scene. After gaining a following playing local bares such as Bill’s and with established Oklahoma product the All American Rejects, these funksters take pride in their eclectic yet original mix of organs, pianos, saxophones, and catchy bass lines that would make even Ben Folds proud. Song titles such as “Cover Band Boyfriend”, “Cornbread” and “Buddhist in a Beemer” give this band a unique and comical way of attracting fun-loving music fans. Though this band is still wallowing in the depths of the local scene, much success and notoriety is nothing less than deserved and hopefully headed their way. While creativity and wittiness heard through the lyrics of singer Chris Wiser appear to be the drive of the band, the rest of the members no doubt help exemplify this innovative blend of rock, funk, soul and jazz that is virtually unparalleled in this local scene.
