Super Super Sugar is an American alternative rock group formed in 1981 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, when Joel Fisher and Mark Pelicano met in an eighth grade music class. The pair named their band after the breakfast cereal Super Sugar Crisp. In 1987, they changed the name to Super Super Sugar after Post Cereals threatened a lawsuit. The band has a large underground fanbase despite being generally unknown in American pop music.
Their earliest home recordings were anarchic and free-spirited, drawing on influences as far-reaching as The Monkees, Frank Zappa, Elton John, Surf Punks, The Residents, and the lo-fi punk movement. Their 1989 album Unwanted Advances features the band's only charting hit, Criminal Assterminds, with reached #89 and remained on the chart for three weeks.
The band has undergone several incarnations throughout the '90s and 2000s, with Fisher and Pelicano the only original members remaining by 2010. They still perform at music festivals and events in the Pennsylvania area.
