BIOGRAPHY "A supernova (plural: supernovae) is a stellar explosion. They are extremely luminous and cause a burst of radiation that often briefly outshines an entire galaxy…"
The Supernovas are a young 4-piece from the Holloway Road, in North London. They have been playing together since the tender age of 16, tearing up stages the length and breadth of the country. In their time together they have played alongside The Kooks and Larrikin Love, amongst others.
In January 2009 The Supernovas signed to London label, 360 Degree Music and pretty much before the ink on the contract was dry the band decamped to the wilds of leafy Hampshire, where they holed up for three days of recording. The fruits of these sessions produced their debut single, Ace Face, a damning indictment of a typical lowlife coke dealing blagger, backed with the blistering, Sgt. Major.
The Supernovas supported the release with a sold out launch show at The Social, in London, before setting off around the UK. 2009 culminated with gigs supporting Babyshambles in Cardiff and Manchester, before returning home to London for a 360 label night for promoters Stroll On.
The boys recently re-entered the studio to cut a number of songs, the fruits of which will see a couple of releases: in March the band will be giving away a one track promo only CD of the visceral live favourite Slaughter In The Gaza. This will tie in with the band’s first trip to the USA, where they will be playing in March, beginning with a show at SXSW in Austin, Texas.
June will see the release of the band’s second official single, the infectious, summery City Of Smoke.
The Supernovas are:
Joei Silvester – Cockney-Irish blaggard and Lead Singer/Rhythm Guitarist
Rizo – Columbian crook and Lead Guitarist
