Sugarland treats fans to sweet show infused with personality

America�s in the throes of a massive sugar rush.

Sugarland - the Atlanta-based duo of vocalist Jennifer Nettles and multi-instrumentalist Kristian Bush - gave Cohasset a confectionery blast Thursday at the first point of a sold-out two-night-stand at the South Shore Music Circus.

Those who lost out ontickets, which apparently sold out in April, might try to catch the pair�s gig at Foxwoods� new MGM Ballroom on Sept. 19. Now is the time to see this act as it invades small venues with its big maulers. The closeness of the Music Circus stage allowed a stage of familiar passion to the carrying out that didn�t come crossways two summers ago when Sugarland played at Kenny Chesney�s annual Gillette Stadium blowout.

Nettles and Bush were at the tippy-top of their game throughout their 90-minute set, exuding the kind of blessed, dizzy confidence that only people in their position can: Barely out of the can, their new CD, �Love on the Inside,� has already topped Billboard�s pop chart.

With a sturdy five-piece circle serving delicious country-pop licks, Sugarland cranked out anthems galore, from the opening �Love� to �Settlin� � to �Everyday America.� Newer songs like �We Run� and the sassy current single �All I Want to Do� sounded every bit as good. And amid several likable story-songs in the country custom, the Kristen Hall-penned missive home �Baby Girl� seemed unusually poignant given its rags-to-riches narrative.

Nettles� brassy voice rang clear as a country church building bell with near-unbelievable pitch and preciseness, occasionally buoyed by harmonies from bassist Annie Clements. Wearing an embroidered gray tank acme, jeans and boots, her hair in a ponytail, she projected an unassuming sexuality that was at the same time innocent and devilishly captivating.

The smoldering chemistry between her and Bush, who acted like an animated mandolin and guitar dervish during the intact show, only heightened herappeal. Her performance of the empowering dismissal �Stay� quite nearly brought down the house.

One could argue that Sugarland�s music suffers from a monotony made even moreapparent in concert. But given the duo�s unstoppable personality - also observable in encore covers as disparate as Matt Nathanson�s �Come on Get Higher� and Def Leppard�s �Pour Some Sugar on Me� - Nettles and Bush rise higher up such assessment. Yep, it was that sweet.

SUGARLAND, with LES SAMPOU

Thursday night at South Shore Music Circus, Cohasset.

Ashlee Simpson And Pete Wentz Finally Confirm Pregnancy

After more than a month of denials, Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz have finally confirmed what many have long suspected: She is pregnant with the couple's first child.

As they did with their engagement, the couple announced the news on FriendsOrEnemies.com: "While many have speculated about this," the couple wrote, "we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives, and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family."

Speculation that Simpson, 23, was pregnant began swirling more than a month before the couple's May 17 wedding at her parents' home in the Los Angeles area. In April, Simpson-Wentz evaded the pregnancy question while talking to MTV News, saying she thought it was "an inappropriate question to ask any woman." Wentz supported his soon-to-be bride, telling MTV, "There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood. ... I mean, really, this is crazy.

As recently as last week, when "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest asked Wentz, 28, on his KIIS-FM radio show about the possibility that he would soon be a dad, the bassist again said he didn't know why some media outlets were so quick to report that Ashlee was pregnant, since no one in their camp had confirmed anything.

A report on People magazine's Web site suggests that this could be the first of several Simpson-Wentz offspring. According to the mag, after the couple's wedding, Simpson-Wentz said, "I would love to have a big family one day," with her new hubby chiming in, "A big soccer team or a band!"

Mark Lanegan's solo albums ar sufficiently dissimilar in tone of voice from those of his steady radical, Screaming Trees, to make listeners marvel where his true interests lie. His records ofttimes engage a much more acoustic tonicity, and turn to a lot more serious, personal concerns. Despite ample critical spat, Lanegan always kept the Screaming Trees his primary concern (that is, until their separation). The original plan for Lanegan's number one solo recording was to do an EP of blues songs with Nirvana's Kurt Cobain and Chris Novoselic, as well as Screaming Trees drummer Mark Pickerel. That didn't work out, and The Winding Sheet terminated up being recorded with Pickerel, guitar player Mike Johnson (later on bassist in Dinosaur Jr.), and famed producer Jack Endino on bass. Released in 1990, the record album included a cover of the Leadbelly sept number "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" from the aborted roger Huntington Sessions with Cobain and Novoselic; it became the ground for Nirvana's version on MTV Unplugged. Despite a good response from the tube, it took until 1994 for Lanegan's bright assured follow-up, Whisky for the Holy Ghost, to surface, which once again featured Johnson in a striking role. Afterwards, Lanegan in one case once again returned to Screaming Trees for what proven to be the band's last album, 1996's Dust. With the Trees on abatement, Lanegan resumed his solo life history with 1998's Food waste at Midnight, which followed in the mineral vein of its predecessors. The followup appeared much more chop-chop this clip; 1999's I'll Take Care of You was a quietly stunning covers album drawing on Lanegan's interest in roots music. Two long time later, Field Songs arrived. In November of 2003, after a short erolia minutilla as vocalist with Queens of the Stone Age (he american ginseng on the album Songs for the Deaf and appeared as part of the subsequent tour), the freshly formed Mark Lanegan Band released Here Comes That Weird Chill: Methamphetamine Blues, Extras, And Oddities, an EP that anticipated the Lanegan Band's first full-length album, Bubblegum. Featuring guest appearances from Polly Jane Harvey, Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri of QOTSA and quondam Guns 'n Roses members Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagen, Bubblegum was released in August of 2004.
