APRIL / MAY UPDATE:
MUSIC AND MAYHEM.
April has been the most intense month for the
Bassman and SuperkatZ, with a number of attacks on American
establishments and western icons.
Nevertheless, the show did go on with SuperkatZ
performing at the U.S. Military Base only one day after its
attack. The band delivered two blistering sets to the troops
and even played through two power cuts which occurred during
two of the bands heaviest songs, "Paranoid" and "One Step Closer".
When the power did return, the Bassman concluded
the Black Sabbath anthem with the "Star-Spangled Banner". Scary!
A huge thanks to all of the U.S. forces during this period of
unrest. Thanks also to Craig for donating his Epiphone bass
to Dean, which made its debut during "Zombie" on stage at Diggers.
Amid more attacks on the U.S. Embassy and almost
every McDonalds, the SuperkatZ played host to the "Blues Brothers
Tribute Band" who rocked the house! The singer from the band,
Tony, joined SuperkatZ for a rendition of "Angels" later in
the night.
BIG WEEKEND OUT.
Diggers "Big Weekend Out" proved to be a huge
success with the welcome return of D.J. Graeme Gold spinning
the discs. SuperkatZ were joined by Cinderella Rockerfella,
Nina Ferro, and the Commitments! This huge four band line-up
played poolside to an avid crowd with a huge sound and mammoth
rig! The evening culminated in the biggest jam that Bahrain
had ever seen, with members from each band joining the SuperkatZ
on stage for their last set.
DEAD ICONS.
The western worlds greatest icon made an all
too brief appearance during the SuperkatZ final gig in Bahrain.
"Mysterious Elvis" took the stage for a version of Nirvana's,
"Come As You Are", performed only as the King could have. Cobain
is dead, long live the King!
