An Orange County rock band is singing stop in the name of copyright infringement.
Supernova, perhaps best known for contributing the song "Chewbacca" to Kevin Smith's cult classic movie "Clerks," has filed for a preliminary injunction to prevent the use of its name by a new supergroup involved in the CBS TV show Rock Star Supernova.
In case you've been living without cable, Rock Star Supernova involves the search for a vocalist to join a new rock band being formed by ex-Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and one-time Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke along with the seriously creepy Dave Navarro, once a member of Janes Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The real Supernova, founded in 1989 by Jodey Lawrence, Art Mitchell and David Collins, has already released three albums. Most recently, the group has been touring in California, Arizona and Nevada, with plans for a new album that's in the works. Honestly, I pray they win their case. In my opinion, anythings better than the thought of this group of has-beens putting out a cd with a less than mediocre front man. My ears are already bleeding at the thought.
