The Name Superman Is Dead
The name 'Superman is Dead' started its evolution from Stone Temple Pilot's "Superman Silvergun". It was changed to "Superman is Dead" because the band agreed that nobody is perfect.
SID formed 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.

June â July 2009, Superman Is Dead held an American tour, playing 16 concerts in 16 cities. 11 of these shows were on the âVans Warped Tourâ and the last 5 gigs were titled âFrom Bali With Rockâ.
