Listen for our songs “Cross The Line” and “Hey Hey” in trailers for the new and final season of MTV’s The Hills, starting this weekend!
Plus, MTV is also currently using our song “Alive” in teasers for the new season of The City…
It’s always fun to hear your music on TV! These three songs are all from our Rock What You Got CD, but you can hear all-new versions of “Cross The Line” and “Hey Hey” on our upcoming new release, Reinvention, releasing April 20!
We have some pretty talented fans out there! We often come across videos on YouTube that our fans have made to our songs… and we wanted to share a couple of great animated videos we found! We loved them both and think they did a fantastic job!

Hey all! This just in….
On April 6, our song “Stand In The Rain” will be available as a downloadable song through the ROCK BAND video game platform! Can’t wait to try it out! We’ll post more details when it hits the online store.
PS. Remember this pic from Rock What You Got?
(Official Press Release) Grammy-nominated Superchick returns to the studio to reinvent its favorite songs from the band’s more than 10-year career. Reinvention, in stores April 20, will be supported with a new single at radio as well as spring headlining tour.
In addition to touching on significant lyrical themes that have resonated with Superchick’s fans, Reinvention draws inspiration from the more than 100 TV shows, video games and movies that have featured the group’s music. It is a soundtrack album for a world filled with fast car chases, giant fighting robots, teen romance and bad guys walking in slow motion. Three new songs accompany nine reinventions pulled from every album in the band’s discography. A solo breakout from bassist Matt Dally entitled “Let It Roll,” will be the project’s debut radio single, going for adds at CHR April 23rd. The track listing is as follows:
1. Cross The Line (Box Office Blockbuster Mix)
2. Rock What You Got (Fight Underdog Fight! Mix)
3. Let It Roll – Matt Dally with Superchick
4. Karaoke Superstars (Shiny Car Advert Mix) – Superchick with ThumpMonks
5. Hey Hey (Vampires vs. Cheerleaders Mix)
6. One and Lonely (Chick Flick Mix)
7. Breathe (Don’t You Die On Me Mix)
8. Bowling Ball (Not That Into You Mix)
9. Pure (Brand New Day Mix)
10. Wishes (Teens Falling In/Out Of Love Mix)
11. Still Here
12. With You – Tricia Brock
“DaVinci once said that art is never finished, only abandoned,” explains Max Hsu, the band’s founder, producer and studio recluse. “For us, this couldn’t be more true – I am never finished with the songs, which is why record labels invented deadlines. This is a chance to reinvent the songs closer to the vision I had for them in the beginning. We go back to the songs and give them bionic arms and legs so they can hit harder – like a robot from the future, but with guitars for arms.”

Superchick will support the new project with its spring “Alive Tour,” which kicks off this week and will visit 20 cities through late May. Superchick will be joined by guest artists Gotee Records’ John Reuben, new Sparrow Records signing Luminate, and touring veterans Bread of Stone. For a complete list of tour dates, click here.
When we wrote the song “Alive,” I asked fellow ThumpMonk Gocher to do a Frankenstein-inspired intro piece. He did such a good job that when I played it for my management, they asked if we were going to have to negotiate the rights to the sample. I wish I could have seen Gocher doing the voices, since he had to practice the accent that was indicative of that time period.
Much to my further amusement, Youtube user kyu88cne has re-enacted the entire scene in lego. I love when a little creativity gets passed around and comes back as something different, especially if it’s done in legos.
You can see it here:

rock on kyu88cne! keep being creative.
I keep saying this:
Everything is changing in media. I have seen the future, and it is all of you making things in your basements and bedrooms. It is your voice that will change this world. Do not be muzzled by your doubts or your circumstances, but rise up and let your shouts be heard.
Bonus points for use of lego.
As some of you have already discovered, we’ve recently added more TOUR DATES!
Check out the tour page of the site to see if our ALIVE TOUR be coming to a city near you… We’ll be taking special guests John Reuben, Luminate and Bread of Stone out on the road with us this spring & it is going to be a FUN show!
“We are so excited to get back on the road after being in the studio finishing our new album,” says Tricia. “We can’t wait to connect with our fans, tour with long-time friend John Reuben, and bring fresh new artists with us! It will definitely be a fun night. You never know what may happen at a Superchick show!”
The tour kicks off in Minneapolis and will hit several cities throughout the country before we hit the summer festival circuit… PLUS, we’ve got a few international dates in places like Australia and Brazil!
More dates to be announced…
… What a unique time in history we are in. I had lunch with a very cool guy who said “we are looking at the renaissance again” and I totally agree with that. Thousands of kids with no adults to tell them that it shouldn’t be done that way. The revolution starts now. Look around, you are the revolution.
Now, the only thing holding you back is you. Be like water. When you reach an obstacle. Go around. If you have the tiniest crack, water will find a way in. Water cannot be stopped and wears down even stone over time. Start with the belief that it can be done. If you believe, you can find the will. The will is the most valuable asset you have. If you lack the will than take a cue from personal trainers and set yourself up to win. Start something with a buddy who will keep you going. Or hire someone to show up and listen to you play music every day. Trade accountability for something they want to do. If you can’t do it alone, find people to make music with. If you can’t find people in your town, then find people on the internet. Gocher who is my other half in ThumpMonks lives in New Jersey. I’ve seen him once in the last 5 years but he’s worked on almost every record I’ve done in that time. If you want to be a professional ice skater and you live in Africa, you might have a problem, but almost everything else is solvable.
Let nothing stand in your way. Dream, learn, practice and express yourself through your dream. Don’t be proud of how cool the songs on your ipod are. Be proud of the music you make. Living in an expensive vibey loft does not make you vibey. You are buying other people’s vibe and hoping to associate yourself with it. Make your own art. Express your own creativity. Cook, customize motorcycles, make records, movies, whatever it is, do it. Define yourself not by what you consume, but by what you create.
If you are getting angry right now, ask yourself, why you would be angry with someone who is telling you to go for your wildest dream.
‘I bring the pure flow, like water around, the rocks of life won’t pull me down….’ – from the song Pure by Superchick
