A spin off of cutesy soul / funk / etc band Mr Tickle, Superengine are true to their past, but with a more Motown-flavoured addition to the already successful mix. Upbeat, major key funk is always going to have a 'party' vibe to it and to say how big the market is for this stuff in WA (Freo especially) Superengine's fanbase is already out there waiting for them.

"The western state keeps producing top notch pop, from the likes of The Panda Band and Institut Polaire (to name but two). New band on the scene Superengine have just released a great sunny single too, filled with harmony and light and a rollicking backbeat. "Intermittent Lies" is a good sign of things to come, and is my catch of the day today." "Intermittent Lies" was added to Triple J rotation only two weeks after its release. Shadows Meet .
