The name 'Superman is Dead' started its evolution from Stone Temple Pilot's "Superman Silvergun". The was changed to "Superman is Dead" because they agreed that nobody is perfect. SID actually stumbled together in 1995, drawn by their common interests of Green Day and NOFX. Their influences soon extended to the punk 'n roll genre a la Supersuckers, Living End and Social Distortion, and here they stay. They say what they want to say, how they want to say it. In your face, to say it precisely.
June – July 2009, Superman Is Dead held An American Tour, 16 Gigs in 16 cities. 11 gigs of them were the ‘ Vans Warped Tour ’ and the last 5 gigs were ‘From Bali With Rock’. They did a very hard work to succeed this excited tour, had crossed the big land from westcoast to eastcoast and got back to westcoast.
