Belgian band EVIL SUPERSTARS were born in the musical wasteland of Heusden-Zolder, sometime in 1992.
The band was Mauro Pawlowski (vocals, guitar), Bart Vandeput (drums), Marc Requilé (samples, keyboard), and Bart Vandebroek (bass).
They quickly gained the reputation of a terrific live band, and played some support acts of Mucky Pup. In 1994, they entered the HUMO ROCK RALLY, and won. Dave Schroyen replaced Johan Vandebergh on drums, and a first E.P. called HAIRFACTS, was recorded.
After playing a lot of live gigs, a fifth member, the 15-year old guitarist TIM VANHAEMEL of Sister Poo-Poo fame, joined the band. Together, they recorded their debut album LOVE IS OKAY, a wild and blistering collection of zappa-esque rock & roll wankery. They toured across Europe as support for other Belgian revelation, dEUS.
Not long after LOVE IS OKAY, an E.P. called REMIX APOCALYPS followed, with the fantastic single SAD SAD PLANET on it. It became a cult-radio hit, and the band's most famous tune.
A year later, the follow-up album was recorded : BOOGIE-CHILDREN-R-US. The release was postphoned to 1998, accompanied by the fantastic single B.A.B.Y.
Again the album was an amazing collection of short and bold poppy rock & roll tracks. Journalists loved the album, but it couldn't get the Superstars out of their cult-only status. Sales were poor, and after their record company was taken over, Evil Superstars had to start looking for a new label.
Instead, MAURO PAWLOWSKI decided EVIL SUPERSTARS would be no more.
They finished their tour in the summer of 1998, and played their last gig (with Steven de Bruyn from El Fish) on september 15th, at the Botanique in Brussels.

Mauro focused his energy on a solo-career and recorded his album SONGS FROM A BAD HAT in New York with Dave Sardy (head honcho of the band Barkmarket). Dave Schroyen continued playing with his noise-band VANDAL X and recorded an album with STEVE ALBINI. Tim played live with dEUS in their The Ideal Crash tour and started another band with Dave Schroyen : Millionaire. They have also released their fantastic debut album OUTSIDE THE SIMIAN FLOCK in the meantime. Marc Requilé joined Peter Houben and Remo Perotti in Ultracowboy, and Bart Vandebroek and Dave Schroyen recorded an album with The Shovels
