San Francisco’s androgynous party sex band Sugar & Gold have just unleashed their cover of the somewhat laughable Hi-NRG classic, Fancy’s “Slice Me Nice.” With a fuller, brighter sound than the original, along with vocals that are considerably less creepy than those of schlag-crooner Manfred Alois Perilano, the track actually makes the connection between cake and sex work quite well. With a second album and a massive tour coming up, Sugar & Gold are poised to become the next Gravy Train!!!, but with a bit more disco in their pants (or lack thereof).
