SUPERNOVA Is Officially Renamed ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA

September 20, 2006

MTV.com reports that a court order barring the "Rock Star: Supernova" band (featuring Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted, Gilby Clarke and now vocalist Lukas Rossi) from using the moniker SUPERNOVA has forced the act to amend its name to, er, ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA, in deference to a California band that already holds the rights to the name. According to Reuters, an Epic Records spokesperson confirmed the altered name. The label will release the band's debut LP on November 21, and two tracks — "It's All Love" and "Be Yourself & 5 Other Cliches" — are available for streaming at this location. ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA will launch a 28-city North American tour with THE PANIC CHANNEL (which features the show's co-host Dave Navarro) in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve.
