Supernaut were an Australian glam/punk rock band from Perth, Australia formed in 1974 and disbanded in 1980.
Formed in 1974 in Perth, Western Australia, Supernaut (originally named Moby Dick) had a short but successful career which yielded two top twenty singles (including a number one hit) and gold album status for their self titled debut album.
Supernaut were quickly signed up by Rod Woods at Polydor after a recommendation from Ian "Molly" Meldrum (who produced their debut album) and burst on to the Australian charts with a number one hit in July, 1976 with "I Like It Both Ways". A follow up hit came in November, 1976 with "Too Hot To Touch", which reached number 19, from their self-titled album Supernaut. Woods from Polydor thought the band would have been huge in Europe and the UK.
