No one told the almost 2,000-strong audience at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles that Supergrass were never as big in North America as they were in their native U.K. After an almost decade-long break-up and reformation in 2019, the excitement for the band’s singular-sounding exuberant pop/rock, which never really went away, is reignited. The group was scheduled to perform at a few stops Stateside in April 2020, which, for obvious reasons had to be postponed.
Ironically, Supergrass signaled their entrance with “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.” They kicked off with the title track from their second album, the slow-building “In It for the Money.” Vocalist/guitarist Gaz Coombes’ voice rang through clear and flawless, no sign of atrophy from the quarter century that has passed since the release of that album.
The way Coombes, bassist Mick Quinn, drummer Danny Goffey and keyboardist Rob Coombes lock in with each other is so tight, their musicianship so superior, their songs so much more sophisticated than they might seem on the surface, it’s a true artistic performance experience.
At the 50-minute mark they had a brief intermission that was soundtracked by their song “Coffee in the Pot,” giving the audience members a chance to catch their breath. By the time Supergrass hit “Alright,” from their 1995 debut album, “I Should Coco,” the crowd was ready to shout the words back at the band. And when Gaz commanded “Sing it!” at the start of “Sun Hits the Sky,” everyone was happy to oblige.
