My name is joe_mcalinden. I used to have a band called SUPERSTAR and have been involved with the likes of BOY HAIRDRESSERS, BMX BANDITS, TEENAGE FANCLUB, CAPTAIN AMERICA, PASTELS, ROD STEWART. I am currently in NOM and am in the middle of recording my first ever solo record.
A wee demo version of the title track from THAT great album. It was recorded in September Sound Studio in London and was the flip side on the Breathing Space vinyl 7" single. Download at your leisure.
MAKE YOU SMILE - DEMO - VOCAL & RHODES.
Just thought I'd put this demo up again. I've almost finished a full arrangement of the song which I'll post in due course. If I'm inundated with requests, I might be tempted to let you download this demo. Let me know what you think.
FUTURE INFO:
More unreleased SUPERSTAR nuggets for download featuring ALEX CHILTON and MATTHEW SWEET to name but a few.
Hi Joe ... Good news about the long awaited new material - can't wait to hear it ... seems like an awfully long time since the NOM album - all the best
Hi Joe, Thanks for the reply. It was indeed a great night. Was there ever any recording of it....either video or tape?
We left sharp that night, just as Teenage Fanclub began their second song, as we'd been tipped off that this hot, unsigned new band were playing around the corner. The band were (groan!!) Ocean Colour Scene. Of the bands I saw that night, the wrong one became a major success. Boooooo!!!
Thank you for allowing us onto your page. I was a huge fan of your Superstar stuff, and consider 'Greatest Hits Vol.1' as one of the few musical highlights in the horribly dank year of 1992. I once saw Superstar play a gig in a tiny club where you were supported by The Soup Dragons, Eugenius and Teenage Fanclub(who all played cover versions), and I'm sure Stephen Pastel was the DJ. I think it was a Creation Records promo night for Superstar, and it was absolutely brilliant and NOBODY ever believes me when I tell them about it.
Thanks for all the great music, Take care, Gordon c/o ~TEC~
