Time has come today for the one-and-only Sugar Ray. The mind-blowing popularity of their first big hit "Fly" found Sugar Ray dominating America's airwaves – the song held the #1 position on the Billboard "Hot 100 Airplay" chart for six consecutive weeks while the song's companion clip was a #1 video at MTV, VH1, and The Box – and performing on national TV programs such as "Late Show With David Letterman," "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," and "The Howard Stern Show," not to mention leader Mark McGrath's smart appearances on "Politically Incorrect" and VH1's "Rock 'N' Roll Jeopardy."
They also found their faces in any number of magazines, including Rolling Stone, Details, Spin, Cosmopolitan, Request, Alternative Press, TeenPeople, and People (who declared Mark one of the sexiest men of '98!). With all the hubbub surrounding them, Sugar Ray became a close-knit family, confronting deaths, celebrating marriages, reveling in a huge hit record, and ultimately coming through with evolved perspective."
Springing happily from genre to genre, the band has proven themselves remarkably open to outside input.
"I look at this band as more like fans making music as opposed to us being 'musicians,'" he adds. "We don't want to limit ourselves to one genre, you know, and that's why we're able to write songs like 'Fly' or 'Every Morning,' songs that cross over to so many formats."
The truth is, for Sugar Ray, it's still simply about fun, fun, fun. "We're just so happy to be doing this," avows Mark. "We got into this for fun, you know, and we're maximizing our fun to death. It's been incredible, so anything else that comes our way is gravy. We still lose our minds every time one of our songs comes on the radio."
"Things have changed," bass player Murphy Karges says. "'Fly' changed us. It gave us confidence to make this music. But we're still the same five boneheads from Hancock Park. We just don't live in the same joint anymore."
