Biography

Moss, Oslo, Norway (2002 – present)

Superfamily is a band from Moss, Norway. The band is composed of Steven Ray Wilson (lead vocals), Kim Granholt (keytar, synthesizer), Martin Steffensen (guitar), and Richard Lorentz (drums). Anders Nielsen, Terje Krumins and Håkon Moe provide backing vocals as “choirboys”.

Superfamily debuted with an EP in 2004, called Champagne EP. Prior to the release, the band received rotation on NRK P3 and Radio Tango. The band achieved mainstream popularity with the release of their second album, Warszawa, in 2007. The same year, the band won Spellemannprisen in the pop category.

Formation and early years
Superfamily was formed in 2002 by Steven Ray Wilson, Kim Granholt and Martin Steffensen. They wrote and recorded songs at home, and burned “hundreds, maybe thousands” of CD’s which they handed out for free. Gradually developing a small fan following, the band decided to add four new members; a bassist, a drummer, and two “choirboys”. The band started playing live at local pubs and bars, and in small venues in Oslo. The band also received some publicity through NRK Urørt, a project that promotes unsigned artists. Eventually, the band was contacted by Kåre Vestrheim of Propeller Recordings. Vestrheim attended one of the band’s concerts, but was “not particularly impressed” by their performance. After being turned down, the band decided to thoroughly review their problems, by creating a Powerpoint presentation at the University of Oslo, called “How to achieve something live”. The band concluded that they needed more discipline on stage.
