SUPER MASSIVE
Beach Hotel, Byron Bay shows
Sat 11th & Sun 12th Nov
The Annandale Hotel
Thursday 16th Nov
Formed by drummer/producer Glenn Abbott and quirky singer / performer Malina over a shared love of dance spliced with rock, Super Massive is all about catchy songs, ultra-groovy beats for dancing and a huge sound, full of gorgeous layers of synths, quirky noises and beautiful harmonies, yet with the assault of a full rock band. Musically, the band sounds like a cross between AC/DC and Daft Punk, or, Led Zeppelin colliding with Basement Jaxx: Somewhere between Garbage and Soulwax, but with a sound distinctly all their own.
The band is a teaming of very fine musicians - bassist John D. Young having played for Marcia Hines, Chuck Berry and Vanda & Young amongst others, and young talent Matt Campbell from The Captain's Package & Christa Hughes' Gary Glittoris Band is on guitar. Glenn Abbott is best known for his work as drummer for Machine Gun Fellatio, and for his solo funk project, The Bryan Ferrysexual Experience. Malina comes from a multidisciplinary performance background of singing, acting & dancing as well as having played bass and sung in local bands in the past. She was the guest performer in The Bryan Ferrysexual Experience, usually to be found losing herself in complete ecstatic abandon whilst wearing a tight, white, lycra catsuit. Glenn found a whole new inspiration in her unique electro-rock style and Super Massive was born.
Together they explore the best of modern technology and draw on the pantheon of classic pop song-writing to push the boundaries of thrilling, get-up-and-dance and sing-along-at-the-same-time rock.
