A
quadrupple link this time. Haley was named after a comet, the name of Bill’s
band, star in this band’s name and planet in the title.
A true
Belgian rockband who, unfortunately as it is, doesn’t exist anymore. The split
was pushed through by their record company A&M because their second album Boogie Children R
Us wasn’t the big commercial success as hoped. This is why they seized to exist
after a 6 year legacy between 1992 and 1998 although they said afterwards the
split was because of artistic disputes between the different band members.
In 2004
though they re-appeared on the scenes for a one time reunion. Apparantly Mauro
Powlowski, the front man of the band, had told the press whe the band split up
they would only be re-united to play Jerusalem by the doomrockband Sleep, whis
is a legendary one hour during song. They did so at the La Belgique 666 Point
festival in Brussels.
Fortunaley for music lovers we can still see Mauro perform since he
joined dEus after the Evil Supersars split. Also Tim Vanhamel can still be seen
on the music scenes since he’s a founding member of Eagles Of Death Metal (he
quit after the first album though), Millionaire and Broken Glass Heroes. Tim
joined the band after they won the 1994 Humo Rock Rally contest at the age of
15.
Evil
Superstars won Humo’s Rock rally in 1994
which meant the real start of their careers quickly followed by a first CD
called Love Is Okay. The second and last CD was recorded in 1997 and released
in 1998.
