Supergrass

Right.

Because I would go, I remember the review for the album Road to Rouen by Supergrass was three out of five.

Right.

And that's fucking Supergrass.

Yeah, yeah.

So she's got five here.

My halo is shining today, Heather in Burgess Hill.

So if you can surpass a good deed which is basically messing around with a dead cat, then 64046 or johnrichson.sixmusic at bbc.co.uk and we'll go through the rest of them after the news at 10.30. Supergrass there and Richard III.

It's the happy hour on BBC Six Music.

John Richardson's happy hour on Six Music.

i i did a bit of a deep dive yeah no interested to hear that and because you know super tramp um you know in that sort of british 70s um and thinking of bands like teenage fan club and that 90s lot you know super tramp really aren't a reference point they don't come up a lot But as I listened to the album, I could hear bits and pieces.

And whilst they share half a name, the band that immediately came to mind for me was Supergrass.

Oh, yeah, right.

Sort of got that sort of slight proggy kind of tinge.

That's a band we haven't talked about enough.

Supergrass are great.

I love Supergrass.

So we'll definitely need to get to them.

fucking dreadful.

In fact, Supergrass were the second band on, and I struggled to work out what they were singing as well.

Who they were? Well, yeah.

I could see the sideburns, so I knew it was Supergrass, because Supergrass are a great fucking live band.

But when, and I know a lot of Super, I know all of Supergrass' songs pretty much, but when you can't even recognise those as well, you know there's something wrong with the sound somewhere.

Definitely.

Yeah.

mean Griff? Yeah.

Isn't it Gaz from the Super Furry Animal? No, that's Super Grass.
