Superchick got their first break opening for Audio Adrenaline in 1999.
In 2000, the band self-released their first album, Karaoke Superstars, which was later re-released once they were signed to Inpop Records. Having had songs appear in Legally Blonde, Cadet Kelly and on several television shows including the Real World and the X-Games, Superchick is one of the most played garage bands.
The band's line-up has changed over the years. In the beginning, there were eight members, including crew. Members credited for Karaoke Superstars were sisters Tricia [lead vocals] and Melissa [guitar, vocals] Brock, brothers Matt [bass] and Ben [drums] Dally, Dave [lead guitar, keys] Ghazarian, Andrew [percussion] Vegas, Dan [lighting, pyro] Larson, and Max [keys, guitar, turntables] Hsu.
With the release of their second album, Last One Picked, the line-up listed Tricia, Melissa, Matt, and Max with the addition of Justin [lead guitar] Sharbaro and Brian [drums] Fitch. Their remix album, Regeneration, marked the return of Dave, with Tricia, Melissa, Matt, and Max returning. The release of Beauty from Pain brought with it the band's current incarnation with the addition of Brandon Estelle on drums. Recently, Clayton [drums] Hunt, formerly of Christian rock band Dizmas, joined the group in replacement of Brandon.
After releasing four albums through Inpop, Superchick signed a deal with Columbia Records to re-release "Beauty from Pain" through the larger label.

Superchic[k] Lyrics

Get me a brain
Yes!
Yes! It's alive!
Wait, what's happening?
It's free!
Run!
The lyrics to the song Alive Prelude by Superchic[k] are cryptic yet intriguing. Opening with a series of laughter, the song sets an eerie tone, followed by the statement to "get me a brain." This line suggests that the singer is perhaps an artificial creation, lacking a crucial component that would give it life. The repeated "yes!" indicates that the singer has finally come to life, but it is unclear how or why.
The sudden shift in tone with the line "Wait, what's happening?" suggests that the singer's newfound life is somehow dangerous or unexpected. The subsequent exclamation of "It's free!" and the urgent command to "Run!" further emphasizes the sense of danger and chaos. The lyrics leave many questions unanswered, leaving the listener to imagine the context and meaning behind the words.
