    There's experimental punk-electro power duos and then there's Super Adventure Club - the San Francisco two-man band that's been described as "hipster, Esquivel-inspired lounge", "a drum-and-bass Devo",  and "a quirky Talking Heads", only these heads sing in five languages while each plays multiple instruments at once. Just one year old, the daring duo's one-of-a-kind songs, no-budget videos, and wild shows have already won them a rabid and loyal following.

Michael Winger (vocals, bass, keyboard, laptop) and Jake Wood (drums, keyboards, vocals, laptop) formed Super Adventure Club in 2007 when they found themselves working on various albums together - Wood as a session drummer, Winger as a producer and engineer.  

Says Winger, "Jake had been practicing playing keyboards and drums simultaneously for a little while and I figured it would be more challenging if we both did it - and add a couple of laptops". Wood notes, “the laptops yield an ever-expanding array of sounds, and they are damn sexy!”

They began rehearsing 6 to 8 hours a day, developing a repertoire of songs that range from disturbing to hilarious but always intelligently chic. Making their live debut in a small Irish bar in San Francisco, they were soon playing legendary SF Venues like the Hotel Utah and Cafe Du Nord, as well as the Apple Store, the original Mac Mecca in SF's Union Square. They released two acclaimed, self-made videos, "Mexican Gun Fight" and "Former Ladies of the Cold War", catching the attention of EQ Magazine, which featured the band in a full page interview, describing them as a "hipster outfit that informs its style with 60's film sound tracks." Indie music blog The Deli describes their live show as “truly entertaining”, noting “these guys are pros. They’re polished; they really have command of the stage and their craft.” And Kronos Quartet’s Jeff Ziegler commented, “These guys are amazing. There’s no one else that can do what they do”

Super Adventure Club's debut album is set to release in November 2008 with a US and European tour to follow.

 

Michael Winger (vocals, bass, keyboards), former front-man with Athens, Georgia band Dayroom, has engineered and/or produced recordings for the Shins, AJ Roach, Regina Spektor, Feist and others.

 

Jake Wood (drums, keyboards, vocals) has performed with countless acts including Nya Jade and The Bruises, appearing as a drummer on over 200 recordings and touring the US and Europe. He is also a writer for DRUM! Magazine, EQ, and the East Bay Express.
