Superette boast the songwriting talent of David Mulcahy, formerly of JPS Experience. After contributing much of the songwriting sweetness that band was renowned for, guitarist David left JPS Experience in late 1993 and has spent the last eighteen months with drummer Greta Anderson and bassist Ben Howe as Superette.

Superette's sound combines a disarming and appealing simplicity with joyful menace that rears in lyrical or musical form -- when they tighten the screws, the effect is dizzying.

The EP lead-off track Killer Clown is a fine example. It definitely boasts the major groove on the Rosepig EP, matching a twisted lyric delivered by David in deceptively wholesome fashion with a fat, drop-em-in-it rhythm from Greta and Ben. Killer Clown is the a-side of the seven-inch vinyl release accompanying the CD release of Rosepig and also the video track for the EP.

After the rockin' work-out of second track The Horse comes Superette cut another monster riff out of the song Slide. They never intended it but this one's a reminder of the princely pop of Marc Bolan's The Slider, reminiscent in Superette's ability to make ambiguously sweet and dirty musings from basic rock'n'roll structures. Disappear is an older song from David, reworked from JPS days into a chugging riff and cascading melodic hook. Beetle captures the dreamy side of the band as the EP swoons to a close. Rosepig is a stylish introduction to the sly and fully beguiling sound of Superette.

The band have demo-ed more great tracks for their first full-length album, which they began recording last December.
