By Jen Henderson
staff writer
Sugar Ray, popular rock/pop artist,
will visit Penn State Behrend on Tues
day at 8:00 p.m. in the Junker Center
gymnasium. Tickets are still on sale
for $2O for students and $24 for the
public.
The band consists of bassist Murphy
Karges, guitarist Rodney Sheppard,
singer Mark McGrath, drummer Stan
Frazier, and on turntables DJ Homi
cide.
Sugar Ray started out with four
original band members, who grew up
in Orange County, Calif., DJ Homi
cide resided in Pasadena.
This group of guys became close
friends through their work on albums
and various wild stunts they put on
while performing. Before that they all
had a variety of jobs: Sheppard was a
tele-marketer, Frazier used to be a
paralegal, ex-truck driver McGrath,
and pizza chef and former security
guard Karges rounded out the four
man band. Their first album titled
“Lemonade & Brownies” was released
in 1995. At this time they were with
out DJ Homicide. This album showed
a harder side of the band, each track
its own personality.
Craig “DJ Homicide” Bullock be
came a permanent member of the band
while it worked on expanding the
mpod of live performances. The
band’s second album, “Floored,” de
buted in 1997. This album brought
about two years of touring, which also
helped in cementing a tight bond be
tween the guys and increasing their
popularity. “Fly” was a popular hit

An inmate, imprisoned for a 1999 rape in Illinois, agreed to a DNA
test to win his freedom and clear his good name.
However, not only did the test link him to the crime of which he
was convicted, but it also implicated him in a previously unsolved
rape.
IT' S NOT SO FUNNY NOW, EH, KLAUS?

from his apartment because he laughed too much and too loudly.

fore others could was one way that the
band kept itself motivated and ready for
criticism. One perk that
their fame earned them was the oppor
tunity to record “14:59” in the famed
Sunset Sound Studios located on the
Sunset Strip
Sugar Ray has performed in a num
ber of concerts and tours, and also ap
peared on such shows as “The Rosie
O’Donnell Show,” “Late Night with
Conan O’Brien,” and the “Late Show
with David Letterman”
Sugar Ray’s 2001 release of their
fourth album “Sugar Ray” mixed ele
ments of all of their previous records
while adding in some new sounds as
well. The band decided to self title the
album to represent the band as a whole.
“Answer the Phone,” “When Its Over,”
and “Someda”’ are all new hit songs
that display the creative juices that keep
flowing from Sugar Ray.
After a break from the road in the
summer of 2000, the band has been
touring off and on for the past two years.
The band is also on the cover of the cur
rent issue of “Dub” magazine.
For 2002 they are doing a college
campus tour that kicked off on March
10 in Peoria, 111. at Bradley University.
Behrend’s concert will be eighth in
the series of stops. The band is known
for high adrenaline, pumping concerts,
so next Tuesday shouldn’t be any dif
ferent. Make it a point to take a night
out of studying and head on over for
some live music and fun.
