Biography
It’s like Snoop Dogg in a Marvel costume, on roller skates while listening to ska; while some mature student is trying to punt his mixtape to the store assistant. Maaaaadness without the baggy trousers, more rolled up cords and top hats. Add full on dollops of jazz, flute, sax, sweet sweet reggae sound system vocals and we are painting quite the Picasso. Its a collage of experience, fun, social documentary and love. Held together by council cement grime; underpaid, undervalued and over staffed. Come stand about with us and if anyone asks you’re on your lunch.
Winners of the Best Unsigned Band Competition by The Sunday Herald In Association with XFM & The Wickerman Festival, BBC Radio 6 track of the week and currently receiving regular radio play on stations all about the place.
Their debut EP “KRYPTONIUM,” released in March 2016, was well received throughout the industry receiving attention from the likes Jim Gellatly, The Herald & The Scottish Sun and followed by the recently released 2nd EP “Kryptomaniac” in October 2018.
Since forming SUPA & Da Kryptonites have played hundreds of shows across the UK, including their own self managed tours, a multitude of headline shows, many festival appearances at the likes of Wickerman Festival, Stonehaven Open Air In The Square (supporting Deacon Blue) Kelburn Garden Party (main stage), Eden Festival, Solfest, Lindisfarne, Doune The Rabbit Hole, as well as select support slots for touring bands and artists, such as Jimmy Cliff, Nina Cherry, Mobb Deep, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Example & DJ Livewire, Squeeze, Lulu, Akala, The Mouse Outfit, Electric Swing Circus, Too Many Zooz, Terry Hall (The Specials) & Grandmaster Flash.
The live performance is incredibly engaging. Without fail, they can get a crowd of any size on the floor and bouncing, completely owning the audience, no one ever leaves a gig disappointed or without a face of sheer excitement!
Supa & Da Kryptonites are already booked for an array of top festivals and shows next year, are planning the release of 2 EPs and working on a heap of new stuff.
