In September 2002, I saw Super 400 for the first time, at the Ale House in Troy, New York. There was no stage in the back room there, so a few dining tables were moved out onto the sidewalk to make space for the band. Friends and fans sat at the remaining tables, surrounded by more friends and fans standing shoulder-to-shoulder everywhere else. When the band played, they were spellbinding, and I was astonished that such high caliber songs and musicianship were happening in this cozy neighborhood bar and grill. Equally moving was the tangible sense of love in the room between the band, their fans and friends, and the staff. The next day, I started evangelizing to fellow music fans about this electrifying Troy trio and how they intuitively blended a classic 60s-70s heavy rock vibe with contemporary melodic pop mastery to create something uniquely their own. Soon, the band and I would become friends, and over the next several years ended up doing some promotion, booking some shows, and penning some liner notes for them. So far, I’ve been lucky enough to see the Supes play live more than a hundred times around the country in clubs, bars, and theaters, at fairs and festivals, and even on a boat (or two). And now, I’m lucky enough to write the story of their first quarter-century of pop-rock prowess, sick-ass jams and pure love.
