History

This Brit rock style band has been together since 1993. Their debut album Double Life was produced by Zhang Ya Dong, a renowned producer for Faye Wong. The lead track Transsonictrain hit No.1 on the charts, and they were given the New Band award that year. Their second album, A Gift From Super VC was released last August. Now that vocalist Sun Lingsheng is currently studying in England, the band is active whenever he returns to China during vacations. Awarded China’s Gold Disk Award for Best Group in 2006.

In May 2001, they performed during the Midi Music Festival 2001.

In July 2005 their song Athens Calling is included in the Modern Sky iPod Shuffle Special Edition (VA).

On May 3rd, 2010, they performed at the Strawberry Music Festival 2010. According to Beijing Gig Guide: I’ll admit it, I’m a SuperVC fangirl. One of the ones down the front in the second row jumping and singing along and clapping their hands and giggling when they sing into the microphone together and squealing when Zhen Yang does something crazy (which is always)… you know the ones.^[1]

On June 6th 2011, they performed at the KAMA Love Music Festival 2011 in Beijing. According to Bejing Gig Guide: They managed to have a good five songs or so, playing their HP song/ad and also a song they’d never performed before. However, unlike the crazy fangirls at Strawberry Festival last year, there was no jumping and screaming and singing along… except from me, of course. It was still a good show, but I was surprised at the lack of enthusiasm from the crowd.^[2]
