Super Market Heroes

They music maybe loud for many, but as David says, 'listen to our hearts'. The unique feature of Super Market Heroes is that it uses hard rock to spread its message of love and God. The group, consisting of David (Lead Vocals), Mike (Bass), Aaron a.k.a. Chud (Drums), Joe (Rhythm & Lead) and Jody (Backing Vocals), has an abundance of talent and an appealing self-belief. Performing in the twin cities for the third time, this New South Wales, Australia, group is winding up its musical tour here after performing in Thailand and in Mumbai prior to this.

The evening started at the usual Hyderabadi time, an hour late. The band had its own set of problems: David broke his guitar and Joe and Mike snapped a couple of strings. But when they eventually got their act right, it was worth the wait. The show kicked off with a couple of own compositions. 'Video Killed The Radio Star' was hardcore hard rock, with plenty of wit and energy. After a soothing solo from Jody, it was time for some popular alternative music. like 'Ex-Girlfriend' by No Doubt and Crazy. The songs where chosen with care - each had a message for the youth of today. A performance that will remembered by all who attended.

The show was followed by 'Seven Trumpets', a gospel rock group from Vizag. Now this group was refreshing to say the least. They sang rock numbers with Telugu lyrics, and did a good job of it. The band consists of Kripal (Vocals and Lead), Steven (Drums), Jubal (Bass) and Vicky (Rhythm).

Not the typical rock show with plenty of expletives and black verses, but a wholesome affair of 5000W, power chords, messages and reaching out. A friendly bunch, the Supermarket Heroes will tour India again next year.
