Super Deluxe (band)

Super Deluxe is an American pop/punk rock band.

The band started in 1993 in Seattle, following in the footsteps of The Posies and The Goo Goo Dolls, soon becoming a fixture in the northwest music scene. The band consisted of Lead Vocalist and Guitarist, Braden Blake, Backup Vocalist and Lead Guitarist, John Kirsch, Bassist, Jake Nesheim and Drummer, Chris Lockwood.

Warner Bros ‘Revolution’ label signed the band, releasing their first album Famous to critical acclaim. The first single, "She Came On" was named 'power pop record of the year' by Melody Maker, and was featured in the movies, Kingpin and Marvin's Room (1996). The band also released their Christmas EP, Electric Holiday that same year, with one of their most popular tracks, "All I Wanted Was a Skateboard", being featured on the Home Alone 3 Soundtrack.

Rolling Stone called Super Deluxe "equal parts Cheap Trick, Big Star and Redd Kross." The band toured in support of Famous and its follow-up, Via Satellite, which was released in 1997.

Super Deluxe released their 3rd full-length album, Surrender, in December 2005 (The Control Group label). Lead singer of the band, Braden Blake later released his 1st solo album, A Year in Pajamas in mid-2004.
