(51392201038).jpg|thumb|Supergrass onstage at the Crystal Palace Bowl, August 2021]] '''Supergrass''' are an English rock band formed in 1993. For the majority of the band's tenure, the line-up consisted of brothers [[Gaz Coombes|Gaz]] (lead vocals, guitar) and [[Rob Coombes]] (keyboards), [[Mick Quinn]] (bass, backing vocals) and [[Danny Goffey]] (drums, backing vocals). Originally a three-piece, the band was officially joined by Rob Coombes in 2002. The band signed to [[Parlophone Records]] in 1994 and produced ''[[I Should Coco]]'' (1995), the best-selling debut album for the label since [[the Beatles]]' ''[[Please Please Me]]''. Their first album's fourth single, "[[Alright (Supergrass song)|Alright]]", was an international hit. The band went on to release five more albums: ''[[In It for the Money]]'' (1997), ''[[Supergrass (album)|Supergrass]]'' (1999), ''[[Life on Other Planets]]'' (2002), ''[[Road to Rouen]]'' (2005) and ''[[Diamond Hoo Ha]]'' (2008), as well as a compilation called ''[[Supergrass Is 10]]'' (2004). In August 2009, the band signed to [[Cooking Vinyl]] and began work on their seventh studio album, ''Release the Drones''. The album remains unreleased and unfinished. On 12 April 2010, the band announced that they were splitting up due to musical and creative differences.<ref>[https://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5hz8lc5932FrCu_TgExj8M9_iqDcA] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100416161425/https://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5hz8lc5932FrCu_TgExj8M9_iqDcA|date=16 April 2010}}</ref> The group disbanded after four farewell gigs, the final one at [[La Cigale]], Paris, on 11 June 2010.<ref name="bbc_newsbeat_1">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_10070000/newsid_10079400/10079438.stm |title=BBC Newsbeat: Supergrass Split |work=BBC News |date=12 April 2010 |access-date=20 July 2011}}</ref> The band reformed in 2019, initially to perform at Pilton Party followed by a "secret" gig at Oslo in Hackney, London.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife/pilton-party-2019-supergrass-guests-3289816|title=The "big band" reforming for Pilton Party 2019|first=Alexander|last=Brock|date=6 September 2019|website=Bristolpost}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://thefestivals.uk/glastonbury-supergrass/|title=Glastonbury: Supergrass have reformed to play Pilton Party tonight|first=Sam|last=Warrenger|website=Thefestivals.uk|date=6 September 2019}}</ref> The band made their final appearance of their reunion to date with a performance in honour of [[Foo Fighters]]' recently deceased drummer [[Taylor Hawkins]] at his tribute concert in 2022, performing some of Hawkins' favourite songs from Supergrass's catalogue.

Danny and Nick Goffey are the sons of former BBC [[Top Gear (original format)|Top Gear]] presenter and motoring journalist [[Chris Goffey]]. The Jennifers began building a reputation in the Oxford [[Indie (music)|indie]] music scene, influenced by [[Ride (band)|Ride]], [[The Charlatans (UK band)|the Charlatans]], [[Inspiral Carpets]], [[the Kinks]], [[the Who]], and including traits of the [[shoegazing|shoegaze]] era. The band played gigs at various venues around Oxfordshire, often [[public house]]s and clubs. One pub the band played at was the [[Jericho Tavern]] in [[Oxford]]. They sold a demo tape recorded and produced by Nick Langston at Stargoat Studios near [[Banbury]]. The demo featured three songs: "Flying", which featured a 20-second countdown at the beginning, the recording of a rocket launch and then a fast guitar-based section which appeared to be influenced by [[the Stone Roses]]; "Inside of Me", mostly similar in style but with a slower, funk-inflected jam at the end; and a guitar-based ballad simply titled "(Slow Song)" on the tape. The band enjoyed enough success to release one single in 1992, "Just Got Back Today", on [[Nude Records]], which is now a highly sought-after rarity. Second single, "Tightrope" was never released due to disagreements with Nude Records (but does appear on compilation CD 'Days Spent Dreaming'<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.strangeones.co.uk/music/45_j1.htm |title=The Strange Ones Supergrass Site |publisher=Strangeones.co.uk |date=20 July 1992 |access-date=21 October 2015}}</ref>), the band split up soon after this in the fall of 1992. Andy Davies went off to university and Nic Goffey went on to form a directing partnership with friend Dom Hawley, later directing many videos for Supergrass. When Coombes began working at the local [[Harvester (restaurant)|Harvester]], he befriended co-worker [[Mick Quinn]]. The two realised they had common music interests and Coombes invited Quinn to come and [[Jam session|jam]] with him and Goffey. In February 1993 they formed a band named '''Theodore Supergrass''' "for about two months," according to Quinn, who explained, "[T]hen we realized that Theodore was a bit rubbish so we took that off."<ref>{{cite web | last = Reuter | first = Annie | title = Q&A with Mick Quinn of Supergrass | publisher = [[Blogger (service)|Blogger]] | date = 20 July 2008 | url = http://yousingiwrite.blogspot.com/2008/07/q-with-mick-quinn-of-supergrass.html | access-date = 30 July 2008}}</ref> Goffey claims that the name was his idea and says, "Although the others will dispute it, it was me. We were Theodore Supergrass and the idea was the band would be a little black character, and we wouldn't ever have to do interviews. We'd get the questions in advance, script the answers and then animate Theodore Supergrass answering them.

The promo video, produced in conjunction with the [[Jim Henson's Creature Shop]], featured the band with comical "[[muppet]]" bodies. The single generated welcome publicity following their time out of the limelight, as did a small sold-out tour scheduled around the single release, the final night of which was at [[Shepherd's Bush Empire]] as part of [[MTV]]'s "Five Night Stand" festival. The single and the tour were followed by their third LP ''[[Supergrass (album)|Supergrass]]'' (1999). The following spring the record was released in the US Once more, the album was recorded at Sawmills Studio with longtime associate Cornfield producing. ''Supergrass'' was well received critically and commercially and it has since gone platinum in the UK, but did not reap the same level of success as its predecessors. Critics claimed the album was "hit and miss", which showed up particularly as the "also-rans are surrounded by songs that are as great as anything Supergrass has ever recorded".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.starpulse.com/Music/Supergrass/Discography/album/P142415/R443374/ |title=Supergrass Supergrass |publisher=Starpulse.com |access-date=20 July 2011}}</ref> Their next single, "[[Moving (Supergrass song)|Moving]]", proved popular and reached the Top Ten in the UK. And their third single, "[[Mary (Supergrass song)|Mary]]" entered the [[Top 40]]. There followed a long hiatus. After three years out of the limelight, the band returned with ''[[Life on Other Planets]]'' (September 2002), recorded at ''Heliocentric'', ''[[Rockfield Studios|Rockfield]]'' and ''[[Mayfair Studios|Mayfair]]'' Studios and produced by [[Beck]] collaborator [[Tony Hoffer]]. The album was released in the UK on Parlophone, but in the US on the [[The Island Def Jam Music Group|Island Def Jam]] imprint. The record was not as commercially successful as Supergrass's first three albums, failing to make the Top Three in the UK albums chart. However, the critical response to the album was generally very positive, with [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] from [[AllMusic]] claiming "The world is a better place for having Supergrass in it."<ref>[{{AllMusic|class=album|id=r606992|pure_url=yes}} allmusic ((( Life on Other Planets > Overview )))]</ref> It has since gone gold in the UK. ''Life on Other Planets'' was also notable as it was the first Supergrass album to recognise Rob Coombes as an official member. For the band's first three albums, Supergrass officially consisted of Gaz Coombes, Goffey and Quinn although Rob Coombes contributed to many of the band's songs and videos, and toured with them. Tracks recorded before this were often credited to "Supergrass and Rob Coombes". The band followed ''Life on Other Planets'' with another extended three-year hiatus, devoted to touring and personal engagements. In June 2004 the band's record company suggested the band release a singles compilation ''[[Supergrass Is 10]]'', spawning two new self-produced tracks: "[[Kiss of Life (Supergrass song)|Kiss of Life]]" and "Bullet". The companion DVD contained "Home Movie", a humorous documentary charting the band's first 10 years' achievements, made in collaboration with "[[Seen the Light]]" video director [[Simon Hilton]]. The record entered the UK albums chart at number four and has since gone gold in the UK. ===Development (2005–2008)=== Recording of their fifth studio album, ''[[Road to Rouen]]'', began in France in a studio built by the band in Normandy.<ref name="MTV">{{cite web |first=Jennifer |last=Vineyard |title=New Supergrass LP: Born in a Barn, Figuratively |publisher=[[MTV]] |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1507372/20050810/supergrass.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080124004102/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1507372/20050810/supergrass.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=24 January 2008 |date=10 August 2005 |access-date=12 August 2010}}</ref> Working with French engineer Pierre-Olivier Marger, the sessions represented a significant change in direction and were perceived as a more mature body of work. "[[St. Petersburg (song)|St. Petersburg]]", the string-laden first single, was released on 8 August 2005. The album followed a week later (released 27 September in North America) and reached No. 9 on the UK chart, going on to achieve silver status in the UK. Opinion at the time was divided, but the album garnered the band many new fans and a measure of creative respect, some even embracing it as "the sound of a band at last hitting their stride".<ref name="NME">{{cite web |first=Rob |last=Fitzpatrick |title=Supergrass : Road To Rouen |url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/7744 |work=[[NME]] |date=24 August 2005 |access-date=25 April 2011}}</ref> Second single, "Low C", featured a video by acclaimed "[[Pumping On Your Stereo]]" video director [[Hammer & Tongs|Garth Jennings]], shot in [[Weeki Wachee Springs]] Florida.

The band toured the songs in both acoustic and electric formats with percussionist Satin Singh joining the live band throughout. From August 2005 to September 2006 they performed in Japan, South America, the United States, and Europe, finishing with a memorable gig at the [[Beijing Pop Festival]]. {{Listen |filename=Supergrass-Bad Blood.ogg |title=Supergrass "Bad Blood" (2008) |description=30-second sample from Supergrass's 2008 single "Bad Blood". |format=[[Ogg]]}} The follow-up album, ''[[Diamond Hoo Ha]]'' was recorded at [[Hansa Tonstudio]], Berlin, with producer [[Nick Launay]], and mixed at Seedy Underbelly Studios in Los Angeles. The band toured in the summer of 2007, headlining [[Guilfest]], among others, and debuting new material, with the youngest sibling of the Coombes brothers, ex-[[22-20s]] keyboardist [[Charly Coombes|Charly]], on second guitar, percussion and backing vocals.
