Superette

Dave Mulcahy's first post-Jean Paul Sartre Experience band was the unfortunately short-lived Superette, who sprung up in Auckland in 1993. With Mulcahy taking guitar and vocal duties, he pulled together Ben Howe (bass) and Greta Anderson (drums/backing vox) to record the rough, thematically scary, but thoroughly charming Rosepig EP. From here the band became known as one of the better live pop-rock acts around New Zealand, and were a defining sound (along with the artists like 3Ds) in mid-1990s New Zealand music.
