Supercharger Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Supercharger (DK) Biography Supercharger is here to stay! Supercharger will release their 4th album in 2017. Leading up to the point of the beginning of this recording it’s been a couple of turbulent years for the band. After releasing their 3rd album (Broken Hearts And Fallaparts) in early 2014 a long tour period followed. The band played more than 100 gigs in 1½ year all over Europe after which long-term friend and lead singer Mikkel decided to leave the band. Supercharger had to finish the touring season with a stand-in front man on their first coherent 16-days headliner tour. Linc Van Johnson, an educated and gifted singer from Germany, whom we coincidentally seen earlier that year fronting another band, was flown in to do the job. Now, one year later Linc Van Johnson is still in the front as a full member of the band. The recordings for the new album are almost done and will introduce new sounds while remaining to the band’s trademark of Danish boogie woogie. And the strong songs on the album prove that Supercharger is back on track and stronger than ever. The Line-Up While Thomas (lead guitar), Benjamin (drums) and Karsten (bass) are still holding their positions there have been other changes to the line-up besides a new lead-singer. In 2014 multi-talented Ronni Claesen replaced not only Lars Rygaard on keys and harp but also Dennis Samaras on second lead guitars. The chronological history (long story short): Supercharger was founded in Copenhagen in 2006. After spreading their first real demo recording (EP sized) “Junkyard Spectacles” which was rewarded “Demo of the Month” in 2008 in the Danish music magazine “GAFFA”, Supercharger released the award-winning Album “Handgrande Blues” on VME in 2009. Soon they made themselves a name on the Danish stages. When the 2nd album “That’s How We Roll” was released in 2011 Germany and in particular Sweden discovered the band , which resulted in a signing with GAIN/Sony Sweden for the 3rd album “Broken Hearts and Fallaparts”. Sadly the album title was pre-warning for the break-up that happened soon after, when no less than three band members left during the busiest and hardest tour season in the band’s history ever. After this huge throwback it took from the end of 2015 to regroup and find out how to continue. Now the band has found a new pace, new goals, and will return in 2017 with full force. What is Supercharger “A sweaty rock machine”, “Rock’n’roll as if it were a matter of life and death”, “Plenty of big greasy rock riffs, bad attitude and fun”. These are only a few of the words used by the music critics to describe the music and performances of Supercharger. Supercharger plays swinging rock ‘n’ roll - sometimes with metal undertones, at other times with a twist of country. It is stirred with steel guitars and spiced up with honky-tonk piano and blues harp. Supercharger is known for being an entertaining live band turning every gig into one big party. Their well-prepared performance is served persuasively to the crowd, winning over every audience with its charm and energy.
