superjuice (new york city)
With a full, lush sound, sensitively crafted arrangements and a handsome-in-flannel aesthetic, superjuice does more than revive the earnest American male rock band of the early 90s-they improve upon it, tempering the angst with smarter lyrics, sharper musicianship and eclectic electronic touches.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The formation of superjuice was the result of a chance meeting between singer/songwriter Andy DiSimone and bassist Bob Troia. The two had met on a few occasions during their college careers, sometimes even playing on the same bills, but hadn't attempted collaboration until they both relocated to New York City in 1999. This assembly, through exclusive gigging in New York City and releasing singles via their Web site, gained both national and international popularity. After two years of writing and gigging with various professional musicians, Andy and Bob finally found their perfect fit with Arizona-bred guitarist Rick Heins and NYC-native Pete Gilbert on drums. superjuice was born.
The band's debut, "Last Against the Wall" was released in May 2002 and is already garnering an A&R buzz. They are currently planning upcoming spring shows in and around New York City and mini-tours of the Northeast for late spring/early summer 2002.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes. The band is currently focusing on playing in the New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston areas.
