It has been suggested that the supermassive black holes, at the centers of galaxies and quasars, may initially form in single collapses of relativistic star clusters or supermassive stars built-up during the evolution of dense star clusters. We show that it may be possible for ICECUBE (a planned 1 km^3 neutrino detector in Antarctica) to detect the neutrino bursts associated with those collapses at redshift $z\la 0.2$ with a rate of $\sim$ 0.1 to 1 burst per year. Such detections could give new insights into the formation of structure in the universe, especially when correlated with gravitational wave signatures or even gamma-ray bursts.
