Uncovering the DNA of supergroup Divine Fits

The idea of the rock supergroup is based on the fraught calculus of late night rambling ("Wouldn't it be cool if ...") among a dangerous crowd (idle musicians), but it's one that has occasionally gifted the world with an act like Cream (Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker), but more often results in the likes of Chickenfoot (Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith).

Echoing the former, the new band known as Divine Fits has coalesced around Britt Daniel of Spoon, Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade, and Sam Brown of New Bomb Turks, whose combined downtime has resulted in "A Thing Called Divine Fits," a stellar debut of tight, wiry tunes.
