Known as the "greatest rock and roll band in the world," the Supersuckers reveal
new details of their upcoming album plus confirm more tour dates. Read on!
Supersuckers kick off 2008 with announcing details of their new full-length
album and adding more live dates. Singer, Eddie Spaghetti, will perform a
special solo set backed by Jordan Shapiro on these dates and the full
Supersuckers band will join them starting on January 24, 2008 in Hillside, IL.
The band is currently finishing their new album (to be released later in Spring
2008 on their label, Mid-Fi Recordings) and will be previewing new songs as well
as performing their classics.
Currently untitled, the new album will, be the band's first full length
recording since 2003's "Motherf^ckers Be Trippin." Since then, Supersuckers
opted to release music through the EP format.
Eddie Spaghetti explains, "Yeah, I pretty much thought we were done making full
length records. But the somewhat anemic response to our 'Paid' EP sort of got me
to re-think the whole EP concept. So when we got into the studio this last time,
we just threw everything we had at the tape machine and we saw that we had
enough for a full length.”
Eddie Spaghetti continues, “It's a little different that our previous records. I
almost hate to say this, but it's a little bit more mature. An ugly word to use
to describe what we do but I think it fits this time around. But it's an awesome
record and I'm really proud of the way it's turned out. Now if I could just come
up with a title for the damn thing..."
Supersuckers spent 2007 touring all over North America playing clubs, three
motorcycle rallies, extreme sports events at ski resorts, and outdoor festivals
like Farm Aid (NYC), Summer Strummer Festival (Santa Barbara), and Hootenanny
(Irvine). They also performed 62 shows throughout Europe during that year and
filmed "Supersuckers Fan Club DVD #2," a live DVD recorded in Belgrade, Serbia
in March 2007. This DVD will be made available to fan club members – over 1000
members strong – for free in January 2008. A clip from this performance
featuring “Evil Powers of Rock and Roll” can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZeYQv3Ur2k
The last fan club release was "Fan Club #6" CD and featured demos from 1999’s
"Evil Powers of Rock and Roll" release. The band finished 2007 with a
three-night stand at Los Angeles’s Viper Room, which included a New Year’s Eve
show.
Fusing the love for both rock and country, Supersuckers scratch out a musical
hybrid all their own while earning a ballsy live reputation. The Seattle band’s
(by way of Tucson) latest release is the “Paid” EP. Audio clips of Supersuckers

Defiantly independent, Supersuckers have successfully been releasing music
through their own label, Mid-Fi Recordings, since 2002 after leaving Sub Pop who
released six albums by the band. Since then, the band has sold over 100,000 CDs
in an otherwise dismal market, released DVDs, and have toured all over the
world, playing festivals like Reading & Leeds to honky-tonk dives in the South.
Supersuckers have also played numerous benefits and have donated the proceeds
from the digital EP, Supersuckers Live at the Whole Foods Market at Arabella
Station to the New Orleans Musicians Clinic who provides health care services to
musicians. Check out the song “Paid” here: http://www.supersuckers.com/07website_dir/mp3/Mid-Fi_Sampler/01Paid.mp3
Supersuckers have backed Willie Nelson on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and
have collaborated with Eddie Vedder, Steve Earle, Kelly Deal of the Breeders,
and the list goes on. Their music has been licensed to commercials (Mountain
Dew), movies (Baseketball, Hype), TV shows (most recently, Discovery’s Deadliest
Catch) as well as countless snow and skateboarding video compilations.
