SUGAR RAY (Themselves)
The boisterous Southern California-based quintet SUGAR RAY (Themselves) masterfully mixes elements of pop, punk, hip-hop, reggae, New Wave, and good old-fashioned rock ?n' roll to create a stunningly multi-faceted sound that is the trademark of the group.
Coming together in 1992 from the various bedroom communities in Orange County, California to form Sugar Ray are: Craig "DJ Homicide" Bullock as DJ, Stan Frazier on drums, Murphy Karges on bass guitar, Mark McGrath with vocals and Rodney Sheppard on guitar.
Sugar Ray released their first album, Lemonade and Brownies in 1995 and toured virtually non-stop for the next two years, opening for the Sex Pistols, Cypress Hill and KoRn. 1997 brought them an RIAA double platinum-certified sophomore effort, Floored, and they followed this success with the 1999's smash hit, the triple platinum 14:59. In 2001, Sugar Ray released their eponymous album which includes the hits "When It's Over" and "Answer The Phone."
Scooby-Doo marks the second feature film appearance for Sugar Ray; they also appeared in the comedy Father's Day.
