===Reunion (2007β2010)=== In July 2007, 6 reunion shows were announced, scheduled for October and November 2007. These shows featured the original lineup of Davis, Coffey, Fisher, and Pappas playing mostly from the first two Superdrag LPs, as well as one track from Davis' latest solo album. In December 2007, two new demo tracks were posted on Superdrag's MySpace page, hinting at a new album in the future. On January 8, 2008, John Davis announced on the Superdrag news section that the band is reunited indefinitely, stating that "Superdrag's original line-up will reconvene in the recording studio in February to begin work on our first new recording project together since 1998's ''Head Trip in Every Key''." On March 8, 2008, Superdrag visited Lake Fever Productions in Nashville and recorded four songs for an upcoming album with Jason Bullock and Joe Colvert. On March 17, 2009, the band released ''[[Industry Giants]]''. A U.S. tour started in the spring of 2009, and after a performance on May 22, 2010 in tribute to the recently deceased [[Big Star]] frontman [[Alex Chilton]], Superdrag again became inactive. Earlier that month, Davis joined the surviving members of Big Star during a show at the Levitt Shell in Memphis; two of the songs performed, "In The Street" and "Don't Lie To Me", were later released as a 7-inch single. Pappas continues with Flesh Vehicle, Rock City Birdhouse, and Senator Pappas & The Assassins; Davis, Pappas, and Sam Powers played in Warthog, a Ramones tribute band; and Davis has played with the punk band Epic Ditch. In late 2012, bass player Tom Pappas released his first solo record: ''20 years of the Senator''. He has been performing live as The Tom Pappas Collection with Andy Herrin of the band [[Cavo]] and *repeat repeat on drums. In 2013, Davis, Fisher and Epic Ditch drummer Nick Slack formed a [[shoegaze]] act, The Lees of Memory, who released their debut single on the Pittsburgh label Velocity of Sound. Superdrag's debut album, ''[[Regretfully Yours]]'', was given its first ever vinyl issue by SideOneDummy Records that February. In a fall 2013 interview with the blog ''BrightestYoungThings'' to promote The Lees of Memory's first single, Davis said that a vinyl issue of ''Head Trip in Every Key'' was planned. In the same interview, Davis confirmed that Superdrag had disbanded permanently. In July 2014, SideOneDummy announced the vinyl release of ''Head Trip in Every Key'' along with ''Jokers W/ Tracers'', a set of demos and rarities, which were released in August 2014. The label also signed The Lees of Memory for their debut album, ''Sisyphus Says'', which was released in September 2014. The Lees have since formed a live lineup including Powers on bass, and will play the 2015 [[South by Southwest]] festival. Starting in August 2014, Davis has posted several albums of demos on a [[Bandcamp]] account called "High Bias!!! A Cassette-Based Operation β’." These include the demos Davis made for ''Head Trip in Every Key'' through ''Industry Giants'', as well as those for his solo albums and The Lees of Memory. Davis and Fisher have since released additional recordings as part of The Lees of Memory, including 2016's ''Unnecessarily Evil'' 2017's double-album ''The Blinding White Of Nothing At All'' and 2020's ''Moon Shot''. Davis released a one-off collaboration, "We Are In the Wild and We Are Home", with [[Matthew Caws]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.stereogum.com/2027249/john-davis-matthew-caws-superdrag-nada-surf/premiere/|title=John Davis & Matthew Caws - "We Are In The Wild And We Are Home"|date=January 3, 2019|website=Stereogum|access-date=February 18, 2019}}</ref>
