What we’re about

Love playing, but haven't got a band? Got a band, but want to expand your repertoire? Or do you simply enjoy a broad range of styles and want to rock your socks off with some like-minded musos? Supergroup might be just what you're looking for!

Our name  reflects the fact that this group does regularly gig, and the members are a mixed bag of people from other bands, free agents, and newbies - a Supergroup (but a very tongue-in-cheek one)!

Although there are a fair few Meetup bands in Sydney, Supergroup has a few big points of difference:

  • We are all about gigging, regularly spinning off gigging bands. This is part of our group DNA.
  • We play a much broader repertoire, which gives us flexibility for gigs. From current hits to classic rock, alternative to blues, with a smattering of R&B, dance, and punk, we'll cover a lot of bases, but getting out of our comfort zones is bloody fun!
  • We don't shy away from complicated or challenging songs (although we bust out plenty of easy little rockers, as well!).
  • We put a lot of effort into preparation and collaboration before we get into a studio, which makes us feel like a band by the time we get there, not just a bunch of people playing the same song.

Supergroup isn't for everyone; if what you really want is to jam on rock classics all afternoon, that's absolutely fair enough, but you probably won't enjoy this group very much. But if you want to work a little harder, challenge yourself, and share a studio and stage with some absolutely amazing (and hilarious) musicians, you will love being part of Supergroup!

Jam sessions will be in the Inner West, approximately every 3-4 weeks. Numbers for each session will be limited. We'll split the cost of the studio. Depending on numbers, it will be around $20 per session. We will nominate songs prior to the jam, so everyone has a chance to practice, then let it rip in the studio for a few hours. So, if you've got a few songs you'd love to bust out, you'll get that chance!

This group is for musicians with some experience - not absolute beginners - and you will need to have (or rent) your own appropriate equipment. The studio comes with a PA and mics.

The only other thing you'll need is a positive attitude. Some of us have done this before, and can attest that keeping the studio a snark-free zone is the key to a great session. (And to that end, we reserve the right not to accept individuals to this group.)
Finally, please don't sign up if you're not going to participate. We'll remove members after six months of inactivity.

Rock on, Supergroup!
