'''Supersport 2000''' was a Los Angeles-based rock/pop group, previously known as '''Magpie'''. They were pillars of the Los Angeles alternative rock community in the early 90's, and came up alongside [[Weezer]], [[that dog.]], [[Wax]], and others. Band members [[Rod Cervera]] and [[Cherielynn Westrich]] also played in [[The Rentals]]. | |||
== | ==Style== | ||
Supersport 2000 employed the same guitar-driven pop sound that Weezer and [[The Rentals]] made the use of, but with a more lo-fi, shoegaze affect. Perhaps their most notable musical difference from those bands is that they are significantly less hook-oriented. | |||
==History== | |||
Both of the band's official releases came out in 1995: ''[[Pink Slip]]'' and ''[[Supersport 2000 (EP)|Supersport 2000]]''. Members of the [[Weezer Fan Club]] received a free cassette of the former, which also included the songs "17 Braids" and "I Love Christian Stone." In 1998, the band contributed "[[Faster Kiddies]]" to the album ''[[Hear You Me! A Tribute To Mykel And Carli]]''. | |||
==Post breakup== | |||
Since the band dissolved, Cervera has worked with Weezer numerous times in side musician and engineering/production roles. Westrich has pursued a career in the automotive industry. She appeared in the reality television show [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhaulin%27 Overhaulin]. In [[2018]], she unsuccessfully [https://ballotpedia.org/Cherielynn_Westrich ran for a seat] in the Iowa State House of Representatives, losing by 10%. | |||
