History
Evil Superstars was formed in 1992 in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium. The original members were:
- Mauro Pawlowski, vocals and guitar
- Marc Requilé, samples and keyboards
- Bart Vandebroek, bass guitar
- Bart Vandeput, drums
Johan Van Den Berghe soon replaced Bart Vandeput on drums.
In March 1994 the band finished first in Humo's Rock Rally contest. Three months later Johan Van Den Berghe left and was replaced by Dave Schroyen before the recording of their first EP, Hairfacts. Tim Vanhamel, aged fifteen, joined the band.
In 1996 this line-up recorded their first album Love Is Okay, soon followed by a second EP Remix Apocalyps. The second album Boogie Children-R-US was recorded in 1997, but record company Paradox, a A&M London subsidiary, postponed the official release for a year. Despite favorable reviews, sales were poor. When A&M London fell apart, the band found itself without a record company and Mauro Pawlowski decided to disband the Evil Superstars.
Evil Superstars gave their last concert on September 15, 1998 at the Botanique in Brussels.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
