Jeff Sugarman
DOB Unknown – June 21, 2012

Jeff Sugarman was the founding bassist for popular Boston-area garage band, the Prime Movers.  Formed in 1981, the band, with their Who and Kinks influenced beat, built a sizable following throughout the northeastern states.  In 1984, they released their Matters of Time EP on Throbbing Lobster Records and found their cult status rising across the country.   The Prime Movers disbanded in 1987, but reunited in 1995, and again, more permanently, in 2003.   Remarkably, it wasn’t until 2006, that they released their debut full length album, Back In Line.  Outside of the Prime Movers, Sugarman also played in local bands, the Strangemen and the Slaves.  Jeff Sugarman died of cancer on June 21, 2012.
