Academy Events and Star Shaped presents
The Supernaturals
Saturday 23 November 2019
O2 Academy Islington

Glasgow five-piece The Supernaturals return to play their first headline show in
London in 20 years on Saturday 23 November 2019 at O2 Academy Islington.

Earlier this year, The Supernaturals released their fifth album Bird of Luck (1
August 2019), 11 tracks written and recorded in Glasgow between 2015 and 2019.

Self- produced and mixed by Kev Burleigh (Glasvegas, Simple Minds), the highlights
of the album are the calypso influenced upbeat rocker 'Bird of Luck' and the
straightforward power-pop of 'Magpie'. The album also features the upbeat piano
track 'At this time of Year' together with 'Roberta and Xica' a song about two
Brazilian lovers trying to lift the curse on their football team 'Corinthians'.
The Supernaturals formed in 1991 and toured extensively around Scotland
releasing four mini albums on their own label.

They signed to EMI/Food in 1995
releasing two albums It Doesn't Matter Anymore and a Tune a Day. The band had
seven Top 50 singles between 1995 and 1999. The band's third album, the Beach
boys influenced electronica of What We Did Last Summer was released in 2002 on
Universal records, after which they went on a long overdue break, before releasing
their fourth album 360 in 2015.

Meanwhile, several of the band's songs, the Ivor Novello nominated 'Smile' and 'I
wasn't built to get up' have taken on a life of their own in subsequent years, having
been used in adverts and films around the world. Rod Stewart covered the band's
song 'Dylan's Day Off' in 1997.
