NOTE FROM JEFF:

A “supergroup” is a band whose members are already
well-known from other projects; the most obvious
and enduring is Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young,
and the most notable new one is Oysterhead
(Stewart Copeland of the Police, Trey Anastasio of
Phish, and Les Claypool of Primus). Others include
Asia, the Traveling Wilburys, Blind Faith…
