Go to the Sugar Altar is the first album by The Kelley Deal 6000, released in 1996. It was released on Kelley Deal's own record label, Nice Records.

Critical reception

The Washington Post wrote that the "album of pithy art-punk tunes soon dissipates into a series of cryptic musical sketches, but such opening songs as 'Canyon' and 'How About Hero' out-Pixie the Amps (Kim's latest band)."

Ian Watson, writing in Melody Maker, describe it as "one startling debut", noting that although "[it] may seem rather slap-dash and half-baked in places, [...], that's only to be expected given the circumstances. The follow-up will be amazing."
