KICK ASS ROCK AND ROLL

About Me

HEY! LOOK WHAT WE DONE!!!

Super88 is based out of Peoria, IL. Home of Caterpillar and no-frills rock and roll... well, no-frills anything. We play rock and roll of the retro style that came from the '70s... that survived the 80's... hibernated through the 90's for the most part and now thrives in the 21st Century. You're probably hearing it right now so there's no need to describe it.We don't do our hair... except for Jeff... otherwise we certainly don't do our hair.
