Supercute! was an American indie teen-pop band/project from New York City primarily led by its founder Rachel Trachtenburg along with co-founder Julia Cumming. The band had acquired notable press attention and toured several times in the U.S. and Europe with English singer-songwriter Kate Nash. The band is now defunct though its members have continued to perform in other projects. In a 2011 profile for ''Nylon'' Magazine, Cumming called Supercute!'s songs "ukelele rock operas".〔''Nylon Magazine'', October 2011 issue, pps. 122-123.〕 From 2011 through 2013, the pair started co-hosting an Internet talk radio show named ''Pure Imagination'' on the Progressive Radio Network about politics, art and music that was aimed primarily at fellow teens.〔(Pure Imagination ).

Julia is the daughter of Alec Cumming, a longtime friend of and occasional bassist for the Trachtenburgs, and Cynthia Harden, a noted epileptologist.〔(North Shore-LIJ’s Cynthia L. Harden, MD, Named By Expertscape.com As One of the Top Five Epilepsy Experts in the US ). ''North Shore LIJ'', 1/27/2014. Retrieved on 2015-04-14.〕 Kate Nash (a UK-based singer/songwriter who had first toured with the Trachtenburg Family in 2008) encouraged them and in the summer of 2009 Trachtenburg enlisted Cumming and June Lei to form a group. They gained positive reviews for their appearance at the 2009 CMJ Music Marathon 〔(CMJ 2009: Day Two ). ''Blast Magazine'', October 22, 2009. Retrieved on 2013-03-13.〕 and began to play local venues with similar minded bands.〔(The kids are all right: Justin Bieber’s got nothing on NYC’s teen bands ). ''The New York Post'', July 22, 2010. Retrieved on 2013-03-13.〕 The three were especially noted for their homemade space-age outfits, on-stage hula-hooping, and interesting cover choices. By the end of 2010 Lei left the band and Supercute! became a duo project of Trachtenburg's and Cumming’s. Olivia Ferrer, daughter of Guns N' Roses drummer Frank Ferrer, performed extensively with the band throughout 2011 and into 2012 on keyboards and bass, making her live debut in 2011. Delilah Brierley, then a resident of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, also began to make appearances as an alternate Supercute! member at the time. Eventually, several members were added and then departed. Supercute! recorded a song, "Superrookie!", for the September 2011 debut of Tavi Gevinson's online magazine, ''Rookie'',〔(Rookie >> Rookie Theme Song: September 2011 ). ''Rookie'' (online magazine), September 12, 2011. Retrieved on 2013-03-15.〕 which was later released as a flexi disc accompanying the 2012 Drawn and Quarterly book release of ''Rookie Yearbook One''.〔(Rookie >> Rookie Yearbook One ). ''Rookie'' (online magazine), September 4, 2012. Retrieved on 2013-03-14.〕 In 2012 Trachtenburg and Cumming recorded a full album in London but only two songs have been released from these sessions. At one point the two created a Glam rock cover band (''Terry Tinsel'') 〔( Teen for Dada ). ''Wise Madeness, March 10, 2012. Retrieved on 2015-04-17.〕 largely as an homage to the controversial Gary Glitter. Supercute! split up for good in 2013, as the band pursued other interests and projects. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Supercute!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
