A NEW indie-rock outfit, SupaLung, composed of singer-songwriter Sam Brookes and multi-instrumentalist, producer Pete Josef will be playing a gig at the Tree House on Saturday 18th November, supported by local singer/songwriter Charlotte Clark.
Supalung met some years back on the burgeoning Bristol music scene and, being fans of each other’s work, they ended up becoming great friends. Brookes was actually helping Josef build a studio at his home when they decided it was time to combine their love for songs and making records.
Brookes was ready and armed with a vibrant bunch of demos that Josef felt would make an adventurous and exciting debut album. The name Supalung is inspired by and pays homage to Terry Reid aka superlungs – one of the UK’s finest rock singers from the late ‘60s.
The group describe their upcoming music as joyous, melodic and experimental. In their own words, “We wanted to draw from all of the great music across time that we love and put it into this album. The keystone was joy – if it didn’t make you smile, send shivers of excitement or fill your eyes with joyous tears then we double-backed and started again.
“Making this album was a real joyous adventure but the real excitement now is releasing the music and playing live shows. Throughout making this record the excitement about playing these songs live continued to inspire us to create more music. We cannot wait to connect with people at gigs and festivals.”
