Everybody knows Sugar is excited about playing SXSW...and We are especially excited about Live From the Lot presented by GOOGLE & YouTUBE. In the words of Google.com 'There’s no place like Austin for live music, so we're excited to host some incredible artists for two full days of concerts atop a downtown parking garage (the lot at 9th & Trinity St). If you can't make it in person, you’ll be able to tune in online at youtube.com/presents.'

With a playlist that seductively ebbs and flows, Sugar + the Hi-lows, released today (also on iTunes), takes you back to the future, with the standout track tucked firmly in the middle, just waiting to be uncovered.
