SUPERELVIS (1986-2001)
(CLICK HERE FOR THE 2023 RESURRECTION)

Superelvis was born in Barcelona in 1986 and released eleven albums and some tapes until 2001. In 1991 the band received the BIENNAL DE JOVES CREADORS award, by the Barcelona City Council.  The album HAPPINESS IS STUPID was elected BEST SPANISH ALBUM OF THE YEAR 1996 by prestigious magazine ROCK DE LUX. In 1998, founder member and singer Anki Toner left the band, which went on as an intrumental trio until 2001. Their last album appeared under the name TUE-TÊTE.

The three founding members of the band secretly (well, almost) resumed Superelvis rehearsals in 2020. Their first (almost secret, too) release is a track on a sampler in 2022. The band reappeared on stage in the fall of 2023.

LABELS AND/OR INFLUENCES

Superelvis' music is hard to describe. Attention is first called by the band's reinterpretation of well-known tunes, either inserting more or less recognizable excerpts in their own compositions or simply reinventing the songs (just like they have done with the band's name). Nevertheless, this is just a part of their strictly personal and unconventional approach to music, which, lacking of a better definition, can be described as RESISTANCE EMOTIONAL MUSIC.
