Supernova
Calling Hong Kong
Pop As A Weapon CD
Sympathy For The Record Industry 2000

I saw these guys at Bimbo's in San Francisco in the mid 90's, opening for the Buzzcocks. Supernova were great, definitely one of the more fun shows I've attended. Band heckles crowd. Crowd heckles band. Supernova rag on the Buzzcocks ("The old farts are next...The Buzzcocks suck!")
A good portion of the crowd were decked out in hand-made aluminum foil space gear and helmets: dress code for Supernova fans. You see, the band were self proclaimed aliens, from uh...Cynot 3, who had crash landed on Earth (the Mojave Desert, to be exact.) They couldn't get home: fuck it, they decided to conquer the planet thru punk rock.

So, yeah, maybe they didn't succeed.

Supernova went on to release two albums and a video on Amphetamine Reptile (of all labels!) plus a single and a 5" record on Sympathy. The original guitarist moved on to Man Or Astroman? and Servotron. Alien to robot.

This song was originally from Supernova's second 7", from Goldenrod Records. The SFTRI CD nicely compiles most of the early singles, including "Chewbaca", which was featured in Kevin Smith's film, Clerks.
