To help you curate your ultimate Supanova Spotify playlist, we caught up with a few Supa-Stars in Melbourne and Gold Coast to find out who their favourite artists are.
Eliza Taylor (The 100)
The Shins
“Simple Song is my favourite song; it’s simple and it’s lovely. They have such a wonderful, calming and happy tone. I love listening to them when I’m stressed, when I’m sad, when I’m happy.”
Ian Beattie (Game of Thrones)
The Police & The Beatles
“The band that I probably loved most in my teenage years that has carried on throughout the years was The Police. But my formative band, when I was a kid, because my mum and dad loved them, The Beatles. If I had to choose it would be tough, but it would be The Beatles.”
Graham McTavish (The Hobbit, Outlander, Preacher)
Led Zeppelin
“They were so influential on me when I was growing up. I used to listen to them all the time in my room. I got to see them in 1979 and it had a huge effect on my life.”
Lucie Pohl (Overwatch)
David Hasselhoff
Overwatch star Lucie Pohl said she loves David Hasselhoff during her panel on the Gold Coast, while also treating Supanova TV to a quick verse of his song Looking for Freedom.
Stephen Hunter (The Hobbit trilogy, Blue World Order, Wolf Creek)
Foo Fighters
“Currently, Foo Fighters – Dave Grohl, I just love him.”
Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf)
Blink-182
“[Music] changed my life as a kid. I started acting when I was really young and I was on this TV show that shot really far away from my home. I was basically the only kid on the show and I was surrounded by a bunch of adults, which was great, but they didn’t want to hang out with me all the time, so I started listening to blink-182. I would go to the CD store and just buy every blink CD and they kind of became my friends.”
Steve Bisley (Mad Max)
U2
“I’m a bit mad for them.”
Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool, Better Call Saul)
Nine Inch Nails
“Trent Reznor is a genius. He’s a god.”
Toby Stephens (Black Sails, Lost in Space, Vexed)
Nick Cave
“I grew up listening to the Birthday Party and I just followed him with The Bad Seeds and all his stuff since. I think he’s a true poet and a great musician.”
