Super Massive EP Launch

Sydney alterna-pop/electro/rock band Super Massive celebrate the launch of their debut, self-titled EP with a show and party at Candy's Apartment, 22 Bayswater Rd, Kings Cross, on Friday 11th July. 8pm - 11:30pm. The theme is "Key Party"... dress sexy!

Christa Hughes (from Machine Gun Fellatio & Circus Oz) will perform in main support, singing new and old material accompanied by Leonie Cohen on keyboards, and sultry singer Vanessa Hunter opens the night with her duo Hunter Lloyd, singing torchsong set to drum machine and bass.

Super Massive will then hit the stage to perform their set of alternative-pop songs set to slamming, funky, electro/rock dance grooves, described recently by industry tip mag The Music Network in a Hit Pick prediction as "..a provocative sound that's more infectious than the plague....".

There's a lucky door prize of a dirty night for two at The Blacket Hotel, with breakfast and parking thrown in - All you have to do is put your name in the key bowl upon arrival to win.

The Super Massive EP features the song "Fists In My Pocket", which won the band the award for Best Alternative Artist at the MusicOz Awards last November. The track has a great videoclip which has seen play on Rage, Scout TV and Songwriters Across Australia on TVS, was featured recently on UK music bible NME's website and begins play on UK music television as of this week.

The Super Massive EP is out now in stores and online via MGM and iTunes.
