Lenny Supera
Electric, Acoustic, Synth & Bass Guitars, Vocals

Lenny was born on an Army base in Missouri to a Basque father and English mother. His family resided all over the world before finally settling in Reno, Nevada.

His earliest interest in music came from listening to his "toilet radio" (an AM radio shaped like a toilet) and from his older siblings' records. His favorite toy was his mini reel-to-reel tape recorder, which he used to put together his own "pretend" radio shows (which probably led to his later interest in studio recording).

Lenny heard his first KISS record at age 11, and became an instant rock and roll fanatic. He finally picked up a guitar three years later with the help of his older brother Paul, and studied with instructor Joe Lachew for six months. He formed his first band, the Flying Maniax, at age 16, and did shows regularly for the next few years all over the West with a variety of bands.

The nineties mainly saw Lenny experimenting with studio recording. Attempting to fuse rock lead guitar with many diverse styles of instrumental music, he released three albums, the first of which, "Comin' At Ya" (1990), resulted in his being featured in GUITAR Magazine's "Resume" section. "Technical Difficulties" (1995) and "Fool's Gate" (1999) followed. Lenny's latest solo release, "Snarl" (2002) was his debut as vocalist and lyricist. "Fool's Gate" and "Snarl" were recorded at Adam Puchalski's Windstudio in Bellevue, Washington, with Adam co-producing and playing on them, along with Paul Higgins (Flying Maniax) on drums.

In the spring of 2002 Lenny joined up with singer/songwriter Todd South and percussionist Jim "Cap" Stapp to form Burning Peace. They have done over one hundred shows together, and released an album, "Over The Water", in the summer of 2003. Joe "Laptop" Warmelink was added on bass that fall. They are regulars (and run the Saturday night open mic) at Walden's Coffeehouse (recently voted "Best Live Music" and "Best Open Mic" in the Reno News And Review).

Lenny's latest project is "Filthy Sea", a new band which promises to be the heaviest rock stuff that he has ever recorded. Look for shows and a new album in 2004!

"This was an unusual CD... The guitar playing took my attention and I had to listen to the whole CD because I was surprised at how well it was done." - INNER DIMENSIONS

"For the life of me, I can't get enough of it... The guy is pretty amazing on the guitar... All the songs here are unique." - DAVID WHITE: MIDWEST METAL

"Using finesse over force at all times, Lenny rocks, swings, funks, and fuses, while never losing sight of melody, phrasing, and feel. Lenny thinks big and wins big." - GUITAR MAGAZINE

"Listening to Lenny's 'Technical Difficulties' was an experience. This could be nick-named the 'space music your mother warned you about!'" - GUITARIST NETWORK

"The main strand that shows through all of Lenny's playing is a great sense of melody. He's very melodic, not only with his single note passages, but also with his chord constructions." - GUITAR MANIACS
