Supergrass

Supergrass is a British band whose concert at O2 Academy Birmingham brings its guitar-led catalogue to the city. The band plays independent rock, Britpop and alternative rock.

Supergrass formed in Wheatley in 1993 and released their debut album, I Should Coco, on EMI in 1995. That record includes "Caught by the Fuzz" and "Alright", and the band's sound draws on the melodic guitar pop associated with British music of the mid-1990s. Gaz Coombes is among the band's key members, and the group went on to release In It for the Money in 1997, which includes "Pumping on Your Stereo".

O2 Academy Birmingham hosts concerts and shows in Birmingham, and this date places the band's songs from I Should Coco and later albums in a venue of that kind. The evening suits listeners who follow Britpop and alternative rock, as well as those who know the band from its 1990s releases.
