History

2015–2018: POW! Negro

POW! Negro formed late in 2015.[4] In August 2016, they won The Big Splash competition.[5] Their debut single "Hidle Ho" was released in November 2016 and launched in Mojos Bar in Fremantle.[6] In January 2017, the band opened the Southbound Festival. POW! Negro released their debut EP Jasmine & Licorice in July of the same year. The band supported Midnight Oil, Sampa The Great and Remi.[7]

2018–present: Superego & Nautilus

In July 2018, the band announced they had changed their name to Superego.[8] In a statement, the group said they "have grown more than [they] ever thought [they] could have" adding "the next steps for the group will be as SUPEREGO. As a culturally and musically diverse group, we wanted a name that was representative and reflective of everyone and feel this new identity encapsulates us as a whole."[3]

Superego released the EP Nautilus in March 2020.
