About Me

Superbar is a pop rock/power pop band based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Fronted by sometime singer-songwriter Chak with lead guitarist Bala, eclectic rockers Superbar came together in 2004. Bala placed a classified ad, Chak answered and the rest is history. Beginning its life as an acoustic act, Superbars sound has evolved through several line-up changes. Theyre happy with the current line-up, which is the tightest its ever been and features Chak and Bala along with Sen Kiat on guitar, Suren on bass and Dinesh hammering the drums.
Drawing from influences that include Coldplay, Collective Soul, Gin Blossoms and John Mayer, the group dishes out radio-friendly pop rock with a touch of blues and lashings of funk. Theyve played at various venues including Planet Hollywood, Actors Studio, and Starlight Cinema. Their current track Out of Body is featured on the Starbucks Music Series compilation with an independent EP slotted for a year-end release... src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/Superbar?format=sigpro" type=".." ....
