Superchunk live at Lion Arts Factory
Sun 8 Dec @ 6:30 pm
June 2, 2024: It’s been 30 years since North Carolina indie-rockers Superchunk released their classic fourth album, Foolish. That breakout album, produced by Brian Paulson (Slint, Beck, Wilco), was the band’s first for the label they founded, Merge Records, and the label’s biggest seller of its early years. The album made SPIN’s top 20 albums of the year and featured many of the best-loved songs in their catalog, including crowd favorites “Water Wings,” “The First Part” and “Driveway To Driveway.”
“their best album… their “Nevermind”… raw beauty for its own sake.” – The New Yorker
Following a performance at Merge’s 35th anniversary festival in July, a Summer tour of Portugal and Spain and a run of US shows throughout October, Superchunk will hit Australia for a National tour this December. Australian fans can expect to hear the band performing a set leaning heavily on the Foolish album, plus hits and deep cuts from every era.

“…however serious Foolish gets, there’s always more of the giddy thrill of hearing a group friends who sound like they’re having a blast playing together, even if they’re also pushing themselves to go further, giving the songs that much more all-or-nothing intensity than everyone else around them.” – Pitchfork
