About Sufferbus
Mitchell Leggs (guitar/vocals) Brian Harris (bass/vocals) Ken Pingleton (drums/percussion) Leggs and Harris, former members of the now defunct seminal Kansas favorite, Moving Van Goghs, snatched Pingleton from the ashes of The Barnburners and spawned Sufferbus in June '93. Through a tasteful use of structure, dynamics, and sheer volume, Sufferbus created a melodic, yet razor-edged sonic environment of hook-laden alterna-pop. Having shared the stage with such influential artists as The Flaming Lips, The Lemonheads, Nova Mob, and Too Much Joy, these veterans of the Kansas area club circuit continued in the tradition of the classic, straight-forward live approach, cultivating a deep-rooted, dedicated fanbase. As recognized area musicians, Sufferbus' amassed regional accolades included a track on Born To Kick Ass, a tribute album paying homage to Midwest punk pioneers, The Mortal Micronauts (produced by Ed Rose) and inclusion on the Lotus Pool Records (Lawrence, KS) compilation, Feast Of The Sybarites. Additional achievements included invites to The Mississippi River Music Festival, Flatlander Music Festival, and The Grain Reaper's Harvest Ball. With much more to offer than a mere flavor of the week, the group's debut showcased their subtly sophisticated, yet accessible lyrical sensibilities with the raw musical power and energy mastered by few other artists in the day. Drawing influences from such pop luminaries as Big Star, The Jam, and post-pepper Beatles, Sufferbus effortlessly churned out everything from catchy, twisted ballads to melodic crunch. They were music for the masses.
