You’ve heard our name, you’ve seen our records, our t-shirts and our stickers. We’re probably the favorite band of someone you know and yet we’re still a mystery to you. Well my friend, that’s okay, I’m here to fill you in and help you to get to know the greatest rock-n-roll band in the world, The Supersuckers.

Our story is almost impossible to believe. This band is literally a human cartoon. We all grew up among the dead-ends and cactus needles of Tucson, Arizona and have known each other since grade school. We graduated from the same high school together at the same time (a school immortalized in our song “Santa Rita High”) and we chose to play in a band together because we liked to hang out together, not because we were great musicians or anything. I truly believe that a band is defined by their limitations, that what they can’t (or won’t) do is just as important as what they can do. I guess that, in this era of pre-fabricated, put-together-to-have-a-hit bands, we’re kind of an aberration and I gotta tell ya that that makes us smile a little every day.

Starting with 1992,s “The Smoke Of Hell”, we released a total of three rock records for Sub-Pop as well as a country record (Must’ve Been High), split singles with Steve Earle and The Rev. Horton Heat, countless singles and a “best-of” double album. Then we ventured out into the muddy and troubled waters of the major labels where we were signed and dropped by Interscope Records before finally (crash) landing at Koch who (barely) put out another Supersuckers masterpiece, “The Evil Powers Of Rock-n-Roll” in late 1999. We’ve always toured our asses off all over the world and that has never stopped. We hit the road with bands like Mudhoney, Social Distortion, Bad Religion, The Ramones, Motorhead, The Toadies, The Butthole Surfers, The Reverend Horton Heat, The Dwarves, White Zombie and Pearl Jam. We’ve played a few Farm Aid shows and backed Willie Nelson on The Tonight Show. Our music has appeared in T.V. shows (Beverly Hills 90210, Viva La Bam, Simple Life, Road Rules Challenge, Real World, all that crap), Movies (Baseketball, Hype) and commercials (Mountain Dew) as well as countless snow and skateboarding video compilations. Throughout this entire time, our sole mission has been to create and perform timeless, quality music and get as many people as possible to hear it. That goal has never changed. The pursuit of that perfectly imperfect rock-n-roll moment is all we’ve ever been after. We’ve been doing this for well over a decade now and we’re just getting started. All this leads us to the new Supersuckers E.P., “Paid” which is by far the best thing we’ve ever recorded. We’re releasing it as an E.P. so that we can keep the music coming in steady bursts. We’re tired of seeing these artists release full length albums with two good songs on ‘em and we want to be the trendsetters (once again) and show everyone a new way to get the good stuff to the peoples! We’ll be cranking out a few of these E.P.s and, if we have to, then we’ll slap together a full length from ‘em with a few new ones thrown in as well. That’s the way they did it in the Fifties and Sixties and I think that, with the way people are buying their music these days, it’s the way to go again. We’ll see.

Another nice tidbit is the recent addition on Scott Churilla as the newest member of the Supersuckers family. You may or may not be aware that, since the 2004 departure of our original drummer, we’ve had a rotating cast of characters behind the drums for us. It was all very “Spinal Tap” and fun for a while but we’re so happy to have it all behind us and be able to call ourselves a first class, four-piece rock and roll band once again. You may know Scott from his 10+ years as the drummer for The Reverend Horton Heat. He’s absolutely incredible and we are way better than ever with him back there. WHEW! That’s a lot to take in and it barely scratches the surface of all that we’ve done and plan to do. So, the next time you see The Supersuckers name, whether it’s in the record store or on the marquee at your local nightclub, know that there’s some quality, honest, ass-kicking, hard working individuals in there, trying to make your life a little better through the “Evil Powers Of Rock-n-Roll” (and the occasional detour into the country of course) and we’d love nothing better than to have you there with us. Just remember to wear you clean underwear, because we’re gonna rock your pants right off of you. Rawkously Yours, Eddie Spaghetti.
