5 Supergroups That Need to Happen
The last few years have seen the return of the supergroup, as all-star acts like Atoms for Peace, Wild Flag and Divine Fits have reminded jaded indie kids that good things can happen when musicians from different groups and backgrounds join forces. Here at Diffuser.fm, we're massive fans of such collaborations, and we wish more rockers would put aside their egos, step out of their comfort zones and partner up with folks they wouldn't -- and perhaps even shouldn't -- think to play with. Below are our picks for 5 Supergroups That Need to Happen.
