Supergrass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Supergrass are a rock band from Oxford, England who were at their peak in the Britpop era of the mid-1990s. Supergrass' origins lie in the band The Jennifers, formed at Wheatley Park School, which featured a 16-year-old Coombes on vocals and Goffey (then 18) on drums. Supergrass was well received critically and commercially, but did not reap the same level of success as its predecessors. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Supergrass   (1689 words)

Rockbeatstone | Reviews | Supergrass (London, 4th August 2005)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20) Supergrass have come a long way since their heyday as the cheeky-chappy boys of Britpop. The crowd was, as could probably be expected, predominately in their late 20s/early 30s – people who obviously had come to relive their youth for a couple of hours and become that young irresponsible, drunken youth lout once again. Supergrass have decided to explore their musical talents in ways that would have been unexpected some years ago. www.rockbeatstone.com /reviews/live/supergrass.html   (631 words)

BBC - Radio 1 - Keeping It Peel - Supergrass Supergrass' debut album was produced at Sawmills Studios, Golant, with Mystics singer Sam Williams, while the band also contributed to the Sub Pop Records Singles Club with "Lose It". In 1997, Supergrass rose to the pressure of producing a follow-up with the magnificent In It For The Money, confirming their standing as one of the country's brightest new talents. Supergrass returned in May 1999 with a punchy new single, "Pumping On Your Stereo", taken from their self-titled third album, although ultimately this release did not enjoy the commercial success of their previous efforts. www.bbc.co.uk /radio1/johnpeel/artists/s/supergrass   (620 words)

Sponic Zine - Music Reviews - Supergrass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20) And while Supergrass does address some solemn moments (“Prophet 15” and “Evening Of The Day”), the latter of which having a great little chorus (complete with a foot-stomping tambourine line) -- they have an unavoidable ability to make them very catchy and pop-infused. Helping to make a plethora of sound and scope out of Life On Other Planets, Supergrass go balls-out on essential listens “Never Done Nothing Like That Before” and the very hip “Grace.” Gaz Coombes and company have made every hour of wait worth it, ensuring their seat with some of UK rock's finest. Supergrass' last album, "In it for the Money," made them an all-out rock n' roll favorite (with maybe a pinch of glam or pop in there). www.sponiczine.com /review_detail.asp?wfArtist=Supergrass   (332 words)

Willamette Week | Culture | Music Supergrass has turned down endorsement deals with Calvin Klein and Hai Karate cologne, as well as a sitcom offer from Steven Spielberg. Lucky for you, the shaggy boys of Supergrass are having another crack at this country. In these days when so many bands never deliver on their promises (Gallagher Bros., are you listening?), you owe it to yourself and Supergrass to make sure this show is better attended than in '95. www.wweek.com /html/musica052400.html   (757 words)

Supergrass Bass Tabs @ Bass Masta.net Emerging from Oxford (and to a certain extent Wheatley Park School) in the early 1990s, Supergrass were formed out of the ashes of the band The Jennifers. In summer 1994, Supergrass issued their debut single "Caught by the Fuzz" on the independent label Backbeat. Supergrass followed this in the spring of 1995 with "Mansize Rooster" and the third "Lenny" - released right before their debut album, I Should Coco - shot at the top 20 in the UK Singles Chart. www.bassmasta.net /s/supergrass   (217 words)

Supergrass Supergrass has returned to the scene with their second album, In It For The Money, a follow up to 1995's I Should Coco. I Should Coco made Supergrass superstars in their native Britain, earning them awards from The Brits, The Brats, Q Magazine, Ivor Norello and Nordoff Robbins, as well as shortlisting them for a Mercury Music Prize. When drummer Danny Goffey took time out of their UK tour to talk with me recently, he let me know that the lack of commercial success in the US was no fault of the band. www.penduluminc.com /MM/articles/supergrass.html   (600 words)

Amazon.com: Road to Rouen: Music: Supergrass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20) Supergrass have slowly inched away from their more aggressive debut and this album shows a band in full maturation without becoming stodgy. Some three years later Supergrass has returned with their fifth full-length and what a return it is. Easily their strongest and most consistent album since In It For The Money, Road To Rouen is worth the wait. It's a great example of Supergrass' ability to twist their songs around while staying inside the same groove and now they show this great talent through the course of nine songs. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0009Y336A?v=glance   (1699 words)

Amazon.com: Supergrass: Music: Supergrass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20) Supergrass follow up their second album with a self-titled work that's hard to place sonically. Supergrass has relaxed their style in some places by creating deeper grooves with the instrumentation focused more on the band itself, with its acoustic guitars and funky basslines, and removed the sharper elements of orchestration featured on In It For The Money, giving the album a very lush sound. Supergrass is still a worthwhile album by any measure but in comparison to their first two brilliant releases, it may appear to be a slip up. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00004S95F?v=glance   (1551 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Supergrass: Music: Supergrass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20) Supergrass may be the unluckiest band to come out of the Britpop wave of the early 1990s. By the time Supergrass was released in 1999, Supergrass had already been relegated to the "Oh yeah, I remember those guys" category of pop. Flaunting their 70s-rock influences proudly, Supergrass continue to sound like the world's greatest garage band with a sackful of studio toys. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000025AV0   (1179 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Supergrass is 10 - The Best of 1994-2004: Music: Supergrass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20) One of the most charming British bands of the last decade, Supergrass managed to fit in everywhere but not be part of any scene. Supergrass Is 10: The Best of 94-04 reminds us just how many catchy hits they had from their breakthrough BritPop anthem "Alright" to new single "Kiss of Life". If you are like I am and feel Supergrass are the most undervalued group in the British music scene then your suspicions will be confirmed by this breathtaking compilation album of their first 10 years together. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00020QWHS   (1395 words)

Official Ticketmaster site. Supergrass tickets, dates Perhaps because of its age -- two of the trio were still in their teens when they recorded their debut single -- the band also brings in elements of decidedly unhip groups like Elton John, as well as classic rockers like David Bowie, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. With an exuberant, youthful enthusiasm, Supergrass tied all of their influences together in new surprising ways, where a Buzzcocks riff could slam into three-part harmonies out of "Crocodile Rock," or have a galloping music hall rhythm stutter like the best moments of the Who. Consisting of guitarist/vocalist Gaz Coombes, bassist Mickey Quinn, and drummer Danny Goffey, Supergrass released their first single, the semiautobiographical "Caught by the Fuzz," in the summer of 1994 on the indie label Backbeat; Parlophone signed the band and reissued the single in the fall of the year. www.ticketmaster.com /artist/773872?brand=none   (864 words)

Supergrass @ Islington Supergrass have recently jammed all their rock-pop classics onto an excellent compilation 'Supergrass Is 10' and now they play them live. They are Supergrass and in June they played an astonishing set for Xfm at the Carling Academy Islington.

TrouserPress.com :: Supergrass Emerging as the brats of the Britpop movement, Oxford's Supergrass burst onto the scene whipping out immediate, punchy tunes with a distinctly English accent, sort of like Green Day by way of the Small Faces and Buzzcocks. The band —; whose moniker is British slang for a police informer — first hit with the amphetamine bubblegum 7-inch "Caught by the Fuzz," which chronicles a lad's first pot bust and deals with that situation's primary crisis: that is, Mom's gonna be pissed. Both of those singles (along with their respective flipsides, "Lose It" and "Sitting Up Straight") appear on Supergrass' full-length debut, I Should Coco, along with a bounty of other hook-strewn ditties extolling the giddy exultation and dopey abandon of post-pubescent youth. www.trouserpress.com /entry.php?a=supergrass   (337 words)

Supergrass   This album being somewhat of a departure for “Supergrass” with no obvious hit singles and a definite lean towards as I mentioned earlier a Led Zeppelin feel.   This really has been just a perception as the band have produced some great stuff over the years, maybe with last years “Supergrass are 10” Greatest hits album have put a lid on an era.   My only criticisms of “Supergrass” in the past is that they can sometimes seem as if they are just going through the motions and seem as if they are detached from the audience. www.link2wales.co.uk /gig05/supergrass.htm   (503 words)

Illinois Entertainer » Supergrass review That’s not to say the group’s previous projects didn’t have elements of evolution or seasoned songwriting, but nowadays the group’s alternative rock revelry and occasionally mischievous subject matter have been replaced with a more subdued, introspective disposition that’s also made for a remarkably moving, nine-track listening experience. Yet Supergrass couldn’t keep the mood from slipping with yet more reserved recreations; a short segment highlighted the subdued keyboard dueling of the Coombes boys, which included some short tranquil electronic samples. As a result of such distracting decisions, Supergrass’ latest visit to the States paled in overall comparison to 2003’s Life On Other Planets tour, and despite some glimpses of greatness, would’ve benefited from more cohesive pacing. illinoisentertainer.com /2006/02/15/its-a-grass-grass-grass   (592 words)
