Bellend Sebastian Posted 12 April 2010 Share Posted 12 April 2010 If there's a Supergrass thread already, I can't find it. Anyway, they're calling it a day: http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_10070000/newsid_10079400/10079438.stm I can remember buying their first single for 99p on the back of quite a lot of hype, and although I didn't like it at first it's now one of me all time faves. I thought their last album, Diamond Hoo Ha, was their best for AGES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made even more special by the fact that it was like them playing in someones bedroom due to the venue being so small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stez Posted 12 April 2010 Share Posted 12 April 2010 i, sadly (for me) never saw them, but i was massively into them (except for 'alright' which annoyed/annoys me as a song) and i've just been re-listening to them a lot over that last few months, with the hope of some new stuff in the near future. but that's not going to happen now. selfish bastards. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellend Sebastian Posted 12 April 2010 Author Share Posted 12 April 2010 Well, with a bit of luck the album that was supposedly recorded last year will see the light in some form. Although their sideburns are well documented, I didn't appreciate that they'd branched out into dodgy moustaches as well, as evidenced during this instore performance of one of the highlights off the last album: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 12 April 2010 Share Posted 12 April 2010 Underrated, unbeknownst to a larger audience (not in the spheres of Blur, Oasis or Radiohead, that's for sure). Always stuck to their own particular sound and developed it further with each album. Loved them for their self-titled album and because they never really took themselves too seriously. It was fun while it lasted. Thanks for all the great tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought their last album, Diamond Hoo Ha, was their best for AGES I've got their first single too. I was really looking forward to Diamond Hoo Ha having heard the first two singles off it but it proved to be a bit of a let down. Their self titled album was the best. Its a shame they have split as they were still capable of those moments of brilliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
