Biography
Zuckerbaby was formed in September 1995 in Calgary, Alberta from the smoldering remains of a band named Calliope. With the addition of Brian Doss, Andy, Reed and Wayne started writing and demoing songs that were soon to become the first Zuckerbaby record. After numerous shows in Calgary and the odd one out of town, the band headed west in 96 to attend the Music West conference. After playing a packed show where even some industry delegates couldn't get in, things were looking good.

After signing with Mercury/Polygram records Canada in November 96 Zuckerbaby started the recording of their first release simply titled Zuckerbaby in Calgary's Sundae Sound Studios with producer and good friend Krisjan Leslie. The record was released on May 20th 1997, spawning three singles and videos, "Andromeda", "Heavy" and "Shampoo". While touring across Canada extensively the band saw "Andromeda" reach number 13 on the Much Music Countdown and was sitting in the top 20 on Canadian rock radio. "Heavy" and "Shampoo" followed while the band continued to tour into 1998, opening for such bands as "The Age of Electric", "The Cardigans", "INXS", "Savage Garden" and a couple Eastern dates on the 97 Edgefest Festival.

Now, after a year and a half of writing, numerous personal and band ups and downs, the parting of Brian Doss and addition of new bass player Ed Tiegs, and surviving the merging of Polygram and Universal, Zuckerbaby is putting the final touches on its second record. Recorded in "The Factory Studios" in Vancouver BC, with producer/owner John Maclean. This new album should be out by mid July 2000 with videos and tours to follow. Watch for us and it...see you all soon.
