THE LEGEND OF SUGARFOOT On the fringe of a rainforest in northern South America, Sugarfoot is stolen by his father and brought far from his mother into the depths of the jungle. His father is consumed by schizophrenia, the locusts in his soul drive him to build a pyramid using styrofoam. He hangs his only son, Sugarfoot, by the beak of a crane which takes him away even deeper into the jungle. There he is found by a Shaman who adopts him and raises him as his own. Sugarfoot himself becomes a Shaman and takes root, teaching people a great many things about the underworld, soul retrieval, and medicine; it is good. Eventually a vision leads Sugarfoot to the grand metropolis of New York City. The city itself ensnares him, takes a firm hold on Sugarfoot's soul, and he falls victim to love and serious addiction. Reduced to nothing but a pale shadow of his former self, Sugarfoot is forced to sell his horn. Without his horn, Sugarfoot was like a de-clawed lion on linoleum. A distant relative eventually finds Sugarfoot and sends him home. Filled with hallucinations of locusts, he agrees to flee the city, leave his love behind and return home. Sick, with no horn, the people find little in Sugarfoot to believe in. The village is now overrun with disease and famine. The fish are gone. Locusts are on everyone's mind. They threaten to devour the inhabitants of the small town. A dark locust cloud looms in the distance as Sugarfoot flees his home. He flees to the forest which nurtured him as a child, the forest that gave him his strength. He communes in the depths of the forest for one year with the trees and with the fish at the foot of the mountain. He endures an epic struggle with a mystic ram of great solemnity and magnitude. He defeats the ram on a hillside, Sugarfoot then removes the ram's horn. He climbs the tallest tree in the dense forest and perches on its uppermost limb. The Locusts are beginning to swarm and all that stands between them and the village is Sugarfoot. He puts the horn to his mouth, his lungs expand and project a loud blast across the land. The mysterious alarm sends animals fleeing from the forest; birds, insects, cats, and monkeys emerge from the jungle in every direction away from the horn's blast. The locusts dissipate and are defeated. The people are safe, but Sugarfoot has much work to do, for his people are weak. The fish return, and they celebrate. The light from their fire rivals the rising sun. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Band Members: Adam Ostrowski - Drums Garreth Scott - Bass Jeffery Owen - Keys Gabriel Charette-Boily - Vocals/Guitar
