Kenny Hohman picked up the guitar as a young boy after
hearing Eddie Van Halen's mind-bending tracks on the early
Van Halen records. Joe Daley's two older brothers were
already established musicians in their home town, so when Joe
was a teenager, he cut his teeth playing the drums with them
at dingy clubs and blues joints in and around Troy. After
high school, Joe and Kenny moved to New York City, then
Woodstock, in the hopes finding the right bass player and
establishing a Rock and Roll band. The pair had spent
hundreds of smoky hours hypnotized by the magic of Jimi
Hendrix, Cream, Blind Faith, Led Zeppelin - the music that
was made for young souls to discover and devour.
Their travels left them unsatisfied and Hohman and Daley
returned home, where on a Monday night blues jam, they
unexpectedly met bassist Lori Friday. Friday had been on a
musical journey that paralleled her new friends' - she lived
on the heavy rock and soul sounds of her heroes and was
searching for her musical match. After an initial brush-off
by Hohman, a mutual friend convinced the boys to get together
with Friday and just play for awhile. The three made a date
to jam in a Troy warehouse, and after 45 minutes, Super 400
was born. They didn't need to speak of it - they were
already a band from the first note.
The three friends immediately began long jam sessions that
lasted for days, searching for and cultivating a sound and
feel that would develop into a breathing entity that was
entirely theirs. Super 400 takes the classic 'power trio'
approach with their live show - three instruments taking up
the sonic space of an airplane hangar, rocking to the heavens
- but their vocal dynamics and undeniable spiritual synergy
cause the sounds to swell to the bursting point.
The band has become one of the most loyally followed rock
bands in the Northeast, and the fan base is growing; last
year's national tours started a chain of bootleg recordings
that have been traded and coveted around the world. Back
home, the mayor of Troy gave Super 400 their own official
holiday, 'Super 400 Day', to recognize the band's musical
achievements as well as the love and support the city has
shown for them. Super 400 is gearing up for a new string of
national dates this Spring, and will return to Europe in
June. They welcome tapers at every show. No two
performances are alike; this band loves the crowd and leaves
them in a blistered frenzy, room after room.
