Super Pal Universe is more than a band – it’s a concept built around community awareness, creativity, and pop-driven activism for today’s teens and pre-teens. The band uses a variety of vehicles – original songs, Web-viewable programming (“webisodes”) on the Super Pal Universe website, and even back-to-the-‘80s zines – to engage audiences on a variety of issues impacting the next generation of young adults. Born out of the scene around the Live Music Capital of the World, the Super Pal Universe is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Sara Hickman. She is the manager and mentor of a band of youth determined to follow their dreams of being the next BIG/little thing. SPU is Nadia on bass, Julie on vocals, Riff on guitar, Boris on keys and Sam on drums. Look for big things from the band in 2008 including a television pilot for pre-teens. www.superpaluniverse.com
