NEBULA
Playing dirty rock and roll and primitive blues, psychedelic iconoclasts Nebula have earned a reputation as one of the most influential bands to emerge from the Los Angeles underground rock scene of the last two decades.
With a penchant for Fuzz-wah pedals, wild drums and debauchery, Nebula plays feedback-heavy, guitar-driven psychedelic rock in the tradition of The Stooges, MC5, Jimi Hendrix, and Cream–laced with the spaced out sounds and discord of Spaceman 3 and The Velvet Underground.
Formed by front-man Eddie Glass out of the ashes of Fu Manchu upon the band’s split in 1997, Nebula toured relentlessly in North America, Europe, Japan and Australia, playing alongside bands like Mudhoney, Iggy and the Stooges, Local H, The Hellacoptors and Queens of the Stone Age.
Nebula quickly gained a cult following in the burgeoning psych scene that was taking root in their hometown of Los Angeles and in music scenes abroad, paving the way for bands like Brian Jonestown Massacre, Dead Meadow, Black Angels, and Wolfmother.
In 2009, Nebula joined Tee Pee Records for the release of their latest LP, “Heavy-Psych”.
We had agreed to take a few months off with the arrival of a new SG baby around this time but the opportunity to open up for Nebula on a Saturday night proved too tempting.
SuperGiant will be featured on a live DVD alongside Suspended and SandiaMan performances from the November 7th, 2009 “Concerts for Cures” show at Launchpad. Proceeds go to kids fighting cancer.

Yes it is true records are a dying art, that is precisely why we made one. There is a life in an album that far exceeds anything an ipod could ever hope to do. Thank you to everyone who came out in support of our neolithic idea of putting our music to the almighty record. We love you.
In this age of modern technology as humans continue to disconnect to one another by using technology to replace actual human interaction we find ourselves longing for the next source of instant gratification and missing opportunities to connect with real people. Yet we have convinced ourselves that being on these boxes of wires is real. There really isn’t much debate on that, its a screen with a box of wires. Do you remember when there were only phones at home? Those were the days when driving was safer because some 14 year old girl wasn’t going 70 miles an hour down Central Avenue while text messaging about the latest Hannah Montana album and the drama that happened at lunch while she ate cheetos and drank apple juice.
There was a time when strangers seemed to care more, when people were paying attention to one another rather than their phones and their computers, there was a greater sense of community. I miss those days, yet find myself enthralled and overwhelmed by all of the new shit we come up with daily. Even as I type this I chuckle at myself for communicating through this medium, I wish I could look in your eyes and speak to you and hear your response rather then hoping this translates in some way. It is fascinating to watch us fumble over one another for the latest and greatest box of wires. Someday the batteries will burn out, the satellites will fail and technology will die leaving us to panic and reinvent ourselves and our minds again. I am longing for that day, it used to be so fucking simple and inevitably will be again someday.
We have recorded the base tracks for Pistol Star and it looks as though we will have 8 new songs to share with you in 2010. With topics ranging from drunken Mexican escapades to the most finite forms of energy that bind the entire universe together. Everything is matter and a matter of perspective. Joel is going to record the vocal tracks after the new year and we are anticipating a spring release. In the interim moments between now and then enjoy your holiday celebration regardless of what you conceive God or Love to be. We are all made from the same atoms, the same energy and the same source. So however you define it or don’t, be merry and enjoy your existence.
Happy Holiday from your friends and family of SuperGiant
LOVE is all there is.
