Sugar Daddy Live is a live album by the Melvins, released on May 31, 2011. The songs are taken from their 2008 tour, with the majority of the tracks coming from their two most recent studio albums at the time.
Two songs from the same show that were left off of the live album were released separately. "Suicide in Progress" was released in a split 7" with Totimoshi on Volcom Entertainment. "Billy Fish" was released as "Billy Fish Alive" as part of the Joyful Noise 2013 flexi series.
All thirteen songs were released as 12" singles for a split series through Amphetamine Reptile Records with bands selected by the Melvins, taking nearly three years to finish. Though some of the bands submitted new material, others like The U-Men and the Cows contributed previously released material due to being defunct.
"Gila" was originally released on the U-Men's self-titled debut EP in 1984.
"Chow" is from the Cows' second album, Daddy Has a Tail, released on AmRep in 1989.
Off! provided a cover of "No Reason to Complain", originally by The Alarm Clocks.
"Lupus" was released in 1989 on Killdozer's Twelve Point Buck album and as a single.
A trio of classic hardcore bands from the midwest United States: Negative Approach with "Sick of Talk", Die Kreuzen with "In School" and Necros with "IQ32".
All Butthole Surfers tracks are taken from a live performance dated January 31, 1987. "No Rule" is a Leather Nun cover.
All Mudhoney tracks are taken from a single live performance.
"21st Century Cling-Ons" by Fucked Up was released exclusively on this single.
"To Go Off and Things" is originally by the Cardiacs. "Oxygen of Duplicity" is a previously unreleased original.
The Fantômas tracks are taken from the original demo that Mike Patton made before the band was fully assembled. It was released in its entirety on a cassette included in the Wunderkammer box set.
