The band will take its tour to The Granada this Saturday.Superchunk promises a night of throwbacks featuring a setlist filled with classics from their 1993 album. The band has released two albums and traveled across the world within the past few years. The four-member band is taking break from the whirlwind of current bustling affairs to commemorate “Foolish.”Superchunk formed in 1989. Vocalist and guitarist Mac McCaughan said he had been in bands previously, so Superchunk felt natural.“It did feel like it was going to be more serious than previous groups,” McCaughan said.Superchunk was heavily influenced by rock bands who wrote their own songs and amplified the volume like Buzzcocks, Hüsker Dü, The Chills and The Go-Betweens. Superchunk followed these influences with loud, powerful songs, and created its own versions of it.“Foolish” set a precedent for indie-college rock in the 90s. The album was also pivotal to the band’s success.“It was important because it showed that we could write different kinds of songs and maybe showed a little more emotional depth than our first few records,” McCaughan said. “The videos got played on MTV so that also exposed us to some more people.”McCaughan said he is anticipating the band’s return to Lawrence. ​​”It’s been too long since we played Lawrence,” McCaughan said. “We played a lot of shows with Kansas bands Butterglory and The Get Up Kids, so we have a connection to the town and it’ll be fun to be back.”Superchunk will be joined by Quivers, an Australian jangle-pop band who recently released its first album, “Oyster Cuts,” under the same record label as Superchunk, Merge Records.Doors will open at 7 p.m., and the show will start at 8 p.m. Guests can purchase tickets on The Granada’s website, starting at $27 for advance tickets and $30 for the day of the show.</div></body>
