SugarBomb dropped this cover of Athens, Georgia new wave band The B-52's 1989 RIAA certified gold single "Roam."
But, who are SugarBomb?
Possibilities included a band from Austin, Texas.
Or, another from Fort Worth, Texas.
Possibly a Motown/Soul cover band from New Brunswick, Canada.
Perhaps a wedding band out of Philadelphia, PA.
Channeling my inner Joe Hardy, I went searching for clues.
From the YouTube video description, the video was shot at Wharton's Green Room, with the only matching social media presence being for a cocktail bar in Covington, Louisiana.
This leaves the two Texas bands in contention.
The video was uploaded in 2018, making it unlikely that it's the Fort Worth band, as they disbanded in 2009, according to their Wikipedia page.
So, it's the Austin band, yes?
Hold up.... here's an Instagram for a pop rock funk disco band. Their website is defunct, but the first picture shows a flyer with a 985 area code. Which predominately serves Southeast Louisiana.
Even with subpar facial recognition skills, I was able to spot the drummer and one of the vocalists in the group photo with matching band logo tee shirts.
Amateur sleuthing complete, and mystery solved!
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you ever need a freelance private investigator....
