Take me out to the ball game...

...take me out to the crowd! You ever wonder how they decide on who gets to sing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" at the seventh inning stretch at Major League Baseball games? Well, me too! I still can't figure it out even after being asked to do exactly that at an upcoming Minnesota Twins game this August 13th. That's right, the good people in the Twins operation have deemed it appropriate that we, The Supersuckers, will get to partake in this time honored tradition when they take on the Darth Vader of baseball, the New York Yankees, in a day game this Wednesday, August 13th. The first pitch will be at 12:10 pm Central Time and we'll be doing a little show before then somewhere in the stadium at 10:45. If you'd like to come to this glorious event we will be hooking a few people up with tickets but it's first come first served so get your email requests into chris@supersuckers.com right away for your chance to see The Greatest invade the American Pastime in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Wednesday, August 13th, 2008. We will be rooting firmly for the Twins to kick the living crap outta those Damn Yankees so come on out and join us. It'll be lots of fun for sure!

Stay tuned for an update regarding our new release, "Get It Together", coming real soon to a computer near you!

Keep in touch...

It was 20 years ago today...

Well, not today but... Do you remember what you were doing 20 years ago? Well, we do - we were starting this little rock band called, at the time, The Black Supersuckers and the time has come to celebrate our still doing it 20 years later! That's right, it was around Thanksgiving in 1988 when we first put this group together and so, on November 29th, 2008 we will be celebrating 20 years of Supersuckers glory. How many bands make it even 5 years? 10? Not many and very, very few make it to 20 and it is with a little bit of pride and a lot of astonishment that we are able to announce this milestone. We invite you to come and celebrate with us at the Showbox in beautiful downtown Seattle where we will be taking the stage following a performance by our good friends in Zeke and we will be followed by none other than one of our favorite bands we've ever had the privilege of touring with, the one and only Mudhoney. That's right it's Zeke, The Supersuckers and Mudhoney, November 29th, 2008 at the Showbox in Seattle, WA! So come on out and party with us, will ya? It's sure to be an unforgettable evening as we venture into our next 20 years of doing what we do best - rocking the house down to the ground. Each and every time!

Come on and rock with us...

So we're out here on the road again and I just wanted to drop you all a little note to tell you to come on out here and rock with us. The shows so far have been great, but that doesn't mean they can't still rise to AWESOME. With just a little help from you, the People of Impeccable Taste out there, we can get these show up to AWESOME. Being an Awesomologist myself, it's great to see the fellow practitioners of Awesomology coming out to these shows. I mean, how do you want it? Good? Naw, that's not gonna cut it. Great? Not quite, try again buddy. How 'bout Awesome? Yeah, now we're talking! And that's how we deliver the goods, each and every night without fail. If there's a rock show to be done, rest assured, we're doing it right and we just don't want any of you to miss it. So take a good close look at the show dates listed here and make double sure you're not going to miss out on seeing the Greatest Rock-n-Roll Band In The World play with two other quality rock acts, Nashville Pussy and The Reverend Horton Heat in a town near you. As I'm writing this we're about to rock Salt Lake City to the ground, but by the time you read this we'll probably be past Boise and on to Montana so keep an eye out for us on this tour and all summer long really. We're out here rocking the songs from the upcoming release, "Get It Together" and the response has been overwhelmingly positive to the new stuff, which is super encouraging since it's taking forever to get this record out. I heard from our man, Billy Bowers that we should have the final mixes in a few days, so it's just a matter of slapping the artwork on it and lining up the retail date and it will be in your hot little hands, hopefully by the end of the summer. Whew! I sure hope so, the wait is killing me and I hope it's killing you too!

So, speaking of killing, come on out to these shows where we will be killing you in a different way. The positive way, the, "I can't believe they did it again" kind of way. We'll be looking for you...

G'Day Mates!

Well, I'm finally recuperated from the jet lag of our big trip to Australia. Let me tell you something - that trip is a long one, fo sho! And we were there just long enough to get used to the time change when it was time to come on back home. 14 hour flight there. 14 hour return. Whew, my arms are tired just thinking about it now. But it was all worth it as we had a fantastic time down there. The shows were awesome and the fans were great - they really turned out to see us and that felt super good. Especially awesome was the Cherry Rock Festival where a few thousand of the hardest rockin', full on party animals in all of Australia turned out for a great day of rock music.

Oh rock music, why must you live on so? Why must you keep on keepin' on when proclamations of your imminent demise are being made almost daily? Because your an animal, that's why! You're a savage beast that refuses to give up and that's why festivals like these still work - because the power of the rocks and the rolls compels us to come and bow at the alter of this unholy bastard child of the blues. Am I just delirious? Perhaps. But I still loves me some good rockin' and that's why we keep on doing this crazy thing called ROCK-N-ROLL. But I'm preaching to the choir here aren't I? You loves yourself some good rockin' too, don't ya? That's why you're reading this rant in the first place! It surely isn't for my witty repartee or my incredible use of the dangling participle, no no no. It's because we RAWK so damn hard and so damn often and that's why you're gonna come see us when we come your way. Right? Right!

I digress, not that I really had a point to digress from, I just wanted to say "Hey" to y'all, I didn't mean to get all uppity, but when I get going about the rock music, that tends to happen sometimes. So just come on out and see us will ya? Um, yeah. That'd be great.

-Eddie Spaghetti

P.S. A big fat shout out needs to go to the amazing people who brought us over to Australia. So kudos to you Mr. Bill Walsh and to you Mr. James Young, and kudos again, you may both take a bow. As well as all the other people who work for the Cherry Rock company down there. You all made me and my family feel real welcome there and I want you to know how much I appreciate it, so... Thanks mates!



Here are a couple of photos from backstage at the Cherry Rock Festival. Here I am with Aussie legend Tim Rogers of You Am I



This is my boy Quattro rockin' one of the Hitmen's guitars backstage. I'm pretty sure he's playing "Smoke On The Water". Again.

"Get It Together" status report

I'm sure you're all wondering, "where the hell is that new 'suckers record?", well rest assured it IS coming. It's just taking a little longer than we expected to get done. Our current snag is that the producer of the new record wants to make some last minute tweaks and, well, he can't right now. He's been detained by a little Australian band called, uh, AC/DC. That's right our man Billy Bowers, who did such a stellar job on our "Paid" E.P., is an engineer for Brendan O'Brian who is producing the new AC/DC record and so he's been taken away from our project temporarily. But he assures us that, as soon as he can, he will have the mixes done and that they will rock mightily so we have to just be content with that for now. In the meantime, we will be keeping busy rocking the free world and you can come and get your fix of the new material at one of our many rock shows coming up in the near future at a location near you, I'm sure.

I just thought you all should know where the new record stands right now. No one is getting any more impatient than we are, that's for sure. We can't wait for this record to hit the streets and these delays are killing us, but right now there's nothing we can do but wait. So we wait, along with you, the good people of impeccable taste who subscribe to this email list.

Thanks for your time (and your patience).
