Supergrass - Arctic Monkeys Concert - 19th July 2007Fairport Convention
Supergrass are an English alternative rock band from Oxford. The band consists of brothers Gaz (guitar and lead vocals) and Rob Coombes (keyboards), Danny Goffey (drums and backing vocals), and Mick Quinn (bass and backing vocals). The band rose to prominence during the Britpop era in the mid-90s with their hit "Alright". The band's youthful image and music (two of the band members were still teenagers when the band formed) came as a contrast to other more serious bands of the Britpop era. The band's main musical influences are J. J. Cale, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Buzzcocks, T.Rex, the Jam, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Sex Pistols, The Smiths, Talking Heads and The Kinks. They combined these influences with traits of the pop-punk era, characterized by fast, three-chord, guitar-based, catchy tunes. The band have released six studio albums and one singles compilation.
