Superstar were a Scottish rock band founded in 1991.[1]
History
The band was formed in 1991 by Joe McAlinden, a former member of The Groovy Little Numbers and the BMX Bandits, who also arranged strings for the band Teenage Fanclub.[2] They first appeared on Creation Records in 1992 with the album Greatest Hits vol. 1, which was followed by the Capitol Records album Superstar[2] on 28 June 1994. The band regrouped in 1996 and Jim McCulloch, formerly of the Soup Dragons and the original line-up of the BMX Bandits,[3] joined on lead guitar.[1] They signed a deal with the Camp Fabulous label, who issued the 18 Carat album in 1997.[4] Their single "Superstar" reached number 49 on the UK Singles Chart,[5] but gained a wider audience when it was covered by Rod Stewart on When We Were the New Boys.[6]
