Superbob! is the project of Bob Zimmermann in his later High School days, as well as a persona for the attention-hungry adolescent who went by it.

[edit] Beginnings
Bob bought a fourtrack. He started recording Beatles songs. A few people got involved. Bob met Joe and he helped finish it with drums. Bob became manic and decided to make it into an album. This was Superbob! The Album.
[edit] Peak
There was some moderately positive response to the first album, so Joe and Bob collaborated again for Bplee! (The Second Album). This was by far the best album, containing many rough, hilarious tracks, a few of which were originals. Only a few focused efforts are present here, and in the end they served as filler.
[edit] Downfall
Strife, Misery, and the Pursuit of Superness was the final record, done mostly alone, and contained mostly the serious filler-type tracks in the previous record. A couple of nice songs stood out and the title and liner notes were irreplaceable, but this marked the end of the project.
[edit] Persona and Nostalgia
Bob saw himself in a different way with this name and musical identity, and it had a profound impact in his life. The struggle that it represented was recorded in an essay in college.
