HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Sugar And Gold

A lot of bands have been saddled with the dance-rock tag (especially ones featuring former punks getting their groove on), but it’s best to just call San Francisco’s Sugar And Gold (which includes ex-members of garage-rock group Dura-Delinquent) a disco outfit. And no, it’s not disco-punk like The Rapture—it’s genuine do-some-blow-and-take-a-stranger-home disco. The 2010 album Get Wet! acts as the comedown to the champagne-and-ecstasy high of the group’s debut, Creme, revealing a band that’s still ready to dance but also willing to spend a quiet night in with the Kraftwerk discography.
