Welcome to 2012!...and what a busy year it’s panning out to be for Superturtle. We’re at the mixing stage for our 3rd album release tentatively titled “Beat Manifesto” building up to the pending release of our new single, “Fear Factor”. For a rough cut, check out the video of a live performance courtesy of our good friend Christian from Goon.
Don’t wait around to enjoy our music. We have an extensive back catalogue. Go forth and educate thyself!
Superturtle began life as a solo recording project for former Figure 60 and Chainsaw Masochist bass player Darren McShane. The first two demos were playlisted on 95BFM under the name " Moonpopper " with both songs getting in the BFM top 10.
An album began to take shape and various musicians became involved on a track by track basis. By the albums completion a stable lineup with an unmistakable "band" chemistry had formed, and so the name "Superturtle " was adopted.
This first album showcases the formative process of Superturtle with recording sessions fitted in between McShane's "day job" as engineer and producer at Earwig Studios, an all analogue recording studio in Birkenhead, Auckland, New Zealand.
The single, "All Our Friends", has screened on Juice , C4 , Stratos , Cue , and Triangle and on Air New Zealand flights. Various tracks have been played on BFM's New Zealand music show , as well as National Radio and Radio Live.The excellent Kiwi FM have been playlisting Superturtle on an ongoing basis, and " Free Ride" was no 5 in their top 10 , then "Lifes a Dream " made no 6 as of October 28th" , "Dead Or Alive" made no 7 on January 25th 2009 , and " Sad Sack " was no 9 on Jan 20th , 2010.
The sophomore album , About The Sun , was released in late May on Sarang Bang Records with distribution and marketing by Ode Records.
