Sugar Ponies live on WFMU
Live performance and chat with Sugar Ponies (Suzanne Kramer and Michael McGovern)
 
San Franciscans Suzanne Kramer and Michael McGovern have been the creative core of this folk-rock group since 2009. Kramer's voice might remind you of Lucinda Williams but she has a unique way of phrasing lyrics with a strength and tenderness behind them. McGovern counts XTC's Andy Partridge and Pete Townsend as guitar influences, and he has a Skywalker Ranch connection as well. Their latest disc, "It's a Sign," was produced by the great Ed Stasium, who worked with The Ramones, Talking Heads, Smithereens, and Living Colour. Suzanne and Michael from Sugar Ponies played some of their tunes live for WFMU.

I swear, if Meg Baird is next or SVE, this is nominee for Set of the Year....
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 9:24pm redkayak:

Yes....what Van said :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Kate - Top10 ConceptRawkers, Joni Top10 Writers, Sandy Top10 Singers.
I suppose Sandy, Linda & Shirley Collins all (searches for word)...archetypal, elemental UK Folk voices.
  9:25pm Bronwyn Bishop:

Irene, your show is my favorite on FMU because it soothes my savage breast. I just moved to NYC and started a new job and it's been a little rough but these lovely sounds have helped lift my spirits!
Avatar 9:28pm Van in DC:

Luncinda still qualifies this set as a nominee :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:30pm Irene Trudel:

Thanks Van! Maybe I'll get to Meg or Sharon later. We have a live set coming up from Sugar Ponies first. Bronwyn, good luck with your new adventures in NYC. It's a big step but I hope the music helps. And Hello to you, KP & Rev. Rabbit!
  9:31pm Bronwyn Bishop:

Thanks :)

Thank you Ken
Avatar 9:48pm Van in DC:

Sounding really great, thanks to Suzanne & Michael for stopping in!!
Avatar 9:51pm Van in DC:

Ahhh, glad to see that Lucinda Williams was an influence on Suzanne
Avatar 9:53pm Van in DC:

If I could remember songs from my dreams I would be... uh... somebody writing songs ;)
Avatar 9:54pm Van in DC:

I don't know what their full sound is like (yet) but I love the simple acoustics of this live set. Even with the restarts :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:57pm Irene Trudel:

Yes, oops, caught me! I missed an edit! THis was recorded in July, and I guess I got distracted listening back to it. It's easy to fall into her voice. I'll play a couple of their full band recordings shortly.
  9:57pm herb.nyc:

Hi. Been listening nude for 30" (post shower). I recommend! Re SVE- she released a song w proceeds to a gun safety group.
Avatar 9:58pm Van in DC:

yes, wonderful voice indeed
Avatar 9:59pm Van in DC:

Irene, did you get any pics of the Sugar Ponies by chance?
Avatar 10:00pm Van in DC:

I love that: Not being pegged into a specific genre. Very admirable.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:05pm Irene Trudel:

Yes, I did take a few pictures. Unfortunately I forgot to transfer them to Flickr. I'll post them tomorrow.
Avatar 10:05pm Van in DC:

Good reason to relisten then :)
  10:22pm listening out there:

Hello...Irene is NOT a crabby engineer... :)

Nice set thanks!
  10:31pm P-90:

Very nice set, thanks so much. And always great production/ engineering on these live sets.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:35pm melinda:

good evening Irene and friends.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:36pm melinda:

Same here, Van.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:37pm Wretch:

Or maybe iTunes freaked out
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:40pm Irene Trudel:

My laptop just freaked out with some crackly gobbldygook a few moments ago. Might that have been it?
Avatar 10:41pm Van in DC:

Kenzo, wherefore art thou :)
Avatar 10:43pm Van in DC:

Wow, Al Di Meola... awesome
Avatar ♥ 10:44pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Avatar 10:46pm Van in DC:

Al is like... in classical music terms... the Pablo de Sarasate... (awesome)

MAYNARD FERGUSON!

CONQUISTADOR!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:53pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Did someone report problems with the mp3 stream? I'm on the 128k stream using VLC on Windows7 and it seems OK for me.
Avatar 10:54pm Van in DC:

I'm literally playing air trumpet right now :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:55pm Irene Trudel:

Hi Kenzo and Ken! I think the MP3 stream problem must've been minor.

And Yeah Maynard. I did say I would play it last week. (HBD Van!)
Avatar 10:55pm Van in DC:

Thanks again so much
Avatar 10:58pm Van in DC:

wow I'm exhausted now ;)
Avatar 10:59pm Van in DC:

I used to actually be able to play, well, some of that...
Avatar 11:04pm Van in DC:

Avatar 11:08pm Van in DC:

Almost violin-ish but I don't think so...?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:12pm Irene Trudel:

Jherek uses come computer-backing tracks with a string quartet. one of his pieces is being featured in Times Square every night at midnight. www.timessquarenyc.org...
Avatar 11:13pm Van in DC:

Okay so play Meg, or Sharon, or Cocteau Twins, or This Mortal Coil, or Steeleye Span, or another Sandy (Fairport) or even something from Fumbling Towards Ecstasy and REALLY blow my mind. Or Toyah. Or Kitaro. Or...oh never mind :)

THANK YOU IRENE for an incredible birthday present!

You are so incredible.
  11:20pm JakeGould:

Hey Irene! The Times Square stuff is part of their “Midnight Moments” art series. www.timessquarenyc.org...
  11:21pm JakeGould:

Oh and of course you posted the link before I posted it. So hey!
Avatar 11:22pm Van in DC:

oh wow I would so love to see Al live
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:22pm Cooh John:

Beautiful, IT. Ta-ta, TT. Hello, JG.
Avatar 11:26pm Van in DC:

so I wonders, has there ever in the history of FMU been Al Di Mi Meola & Maynard Ferguson played in the same set?

Back to back?

Boggle.

Two of the greatest trumpeteers ever.

Wow.
Avatar 11:41pm Van in DC:

soothing... very nice
  11:46pm Carmichael:

Never too late to say heya Irene.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53pm Irene Trudel:

Heya Carmichael! Time for me to sign off. Thanks to all for listening!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53pm melinda:

Whoa, I saw Spheeris open for the Moody Blues in '78.
Avatar 11:54pm Van in DC:

Sames....

Thanks again so much Magical Irene.
  11:56pm P-90:

Thanks, Irene. And have a great week.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park:

There must be an extra gold medal or two to bestow on tonight's superior DJ talents. This was certainly a winning lineup of songs tonight and also Sugar Ponies. Thanks, Irene.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:00am Ken From Hyde Park:

Eek...news reports of a strong earthquake in Italy. I hope the listeners there are all OK.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:22am Sean in Bristol UK:

Wow, Irene, that was a stellar show, thank to The Sugar Ponies for a fab live set, will definitely check out the rest of the latest album. Belated Happy Returns to Van.
