Superdrag: Pre-show Interview with John Davis and Tom Pappas, MHOW, Brooklyn, NY 4-10-09

Last Friday, I had the chance to catch up with John Davis (vocals/guitar) and Tom Pappas (bass) from Superdrag prior to the band's show that night at Music Hall of Williamsburg. The original lineup of Superdrag got back together two years ago and the reunited band band just released a new studio disc, Industry Giants, in March. Industry Giants has been getting great reviews and the Village Voice called it "easily the best rock record of 2009 to date".



Superdrag just released a video for the song "Aspertame" (from Industry Giants) which John Davis describes as "his favorite Superdrag video by a mile".



Superdrag has two more dates left on this current tour (below) but the band is looking to be back out on tour this summer.

April 24, 2009, 8:00PM, Rock Island Brewing Company, Rock Island, Illinois
April 25, 2009, 8:00PM, Metro, Chicago, Illinois
