Supernaut relocated from Perth to Melbourne and were signed to Polydor Records in 1976 upon recommendation from Molly Meldrum (in turn tipped off by Paul McCartney). In May 1976 they released their debut single I Like It Both Ways which was produced by Meldrum. Later that year, Too Hot to Touch was also lifted from their debut self-titled album. Promotion on Molly’s TV pop music show Countdown helped propel the band, their debut album and these two singles to chart success.
Supernaut continued with live performances and they supported touring artists like Lou Reed, Suzie Quatro and Sweet.
A second album, The Nauts, was released in 1979, before the group disbanded in 1980.
