star time 2000: numerous musical ideas are swirling around in the heads of seven individuals
from the centre of switzerland. these ideas shouldn't remain ideas from individuals, no, these
ideas should meet. to make a whole! the band is named "superspy" and musically they are
at home somewhere in the corner of ska, punk and rock. superspy rock the stages - and it's
pure fun. the seven spies already have been compared to the early no doubt, the dance hall
crashers or save ferris. the latter delivered the band it's name by a song title. a lot of energy
driven concerts in clubs and festivals all over switzerland followed.
in 2004 the first cd-ep "slick" was recorded and released on 808 records, zurich. one of the
tracks, "ska devils" was assigned for 2nd place in the "kick ass award 2004", awarded by the
distinguished lucerne alternative radio station 3fach. the cd-ep gained positive reviews in
the ska and punk rock scene all over europe.
the following concerts superspy supported shows from swiss and international acts like the
rx bandits (usa), persiana jones (i), the suicide machines (usa), chris murray (usa),
skarface (f) and the legendary slackers (usa). the band played in swiss clubs as the rote
fabrik zurich, schuur lucerne, dynamo zurich, gaskessel biel, moods zurich or the
winterthurer musikfestwochen, where it could proove their live qualites.
the experience out of this was used up by the end of 2005 when the first longplayer "gold
label de luxe" was recorded in two different recording studios. the record contains twelve
diversified original compositions expanding the musical horizon of the group. it definitely
rocks more than the ep, but the love for the jamaican ska and reggae is not to be missed
out. the cd was released in march 2006 on 808 records, zurich and distributed
switzerlandwide over phonag.
additionally a laborious video clip for the song "rich man's son"
has been produced which was released in april 2006 together with the radio single.
