LISTEN UP! 6 FUN QUESTIONS WITH Matt Malone of The Sugar Hold
Written by Staff on May 25, 2023
We at RadioRadioX.com thought it would be fun to ask all of our 2023 Listen Up Awards nominees a few fun questions. Again we congratulate everyone of you and we look forward to seeing you all back at next year’s award ceremony. -The Listen Up Team
RRX: What’s more important, looking good or sounding good?
MM: Definitely sounding good, at that point I could look as ugly as I want! (though we do make it a point to match our wardrobe every show).
RRX: How would you describe your sound, your overall image and what you are representing with your music?
MM: The Sugar Hold has always been about bringing a kick ass party to a venue near you. We just focus on having fun and including everyone in the good time.
RRX: Where was your first show? Tell us a bit about it. Where was your last show and how different is it now from when you started?
MM: I think our first show was at Bound By Fate brewery with Shortwave Radio Band and the Battenkillers. From going to Mikey’s garage to a packed place with people dancing and clapping, we knew we honed into something special. Our last show at No Fun was our first album release gig and it was possibly our best! Still carrying that same energy from the beginning, nobody has more fun than the Sugar Hold!
RRX: Which rockstar did you want to be as a kid?
MM: A healthy mix of Joe Strummer and Jimi Hendrix
RRX: Who has the best wings in the Capital District? For non-meat eaters, who has the best broccoli?
MM: Ale House in Troy. And for our vegan friends you can never go wrong with anything the folks from Wizard Burger/ Little Viking/ Burrito Burrito/ Meadow Lark makes!
RRX: UFOs, real or fake?
MM: Dude, soooo real!
