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).

Whoa "Nelly"

Whoa, "Nelly", did we ever have a good time down in Austin, TX for the SXSW festival this last week. It really couldn't have gone much better - not only did we totally rock the house our own damn selves, (where we rocked a BUNCH of new tunes) but we also got to see some amazing shows as well, including Motorhead (in a rare daytime, outdoor appearance at Stubbs BBQ joint which was both surreal and amazing all at the same time), Willie Nelson (at the wonderful Backyard - an amazing place to see a show) and the incredibly under-rated, under-appreciated, but still amazing Mr. Billy Joe Shaver! Who we happened to run into at Guero's, which is as fine a mexican restaurant as you'll ever want to find, where he wound up giving my boy Quattro a couple of guitar picks. (Which, oddly enough, were Willie Nelson picks, with little pictures of Willie on 'em. Who knows why he was carrying them around? But it sure was nice of him to give 'em to the kiddo!)

My camera phone was out and in full effect for this occurrence....

His show was awesome - one minute he's singing about raising hell in Waco and the next minute he's preaching a little about Jesus. Totally psycho and totally Texas.

While we were there I played a few solo shows, one memorable one being the one I did with the Railbenders as my band at a place called The Mean Eyed Cat. It was memorable for a couple of reasons - one, the show was simply incredible and the other was that in attendance was one fella by the name of Elijah "Frodo" Wood. That's right, he was checking out the show and while he was there he was playing with my new puppy, Monkey - a too cute for words Chihuahua that the Mrs. brought out to Texas with her. (My wife was kind enough to come out to SXSW to meet me for my birthday, which was on the 16th and we had an awesome time, so thank you honey, you made the whole trip so much more fun!) Here's Monkey on the dashboard of our rental car - taken while we were driving back to Dallas to catch our flight home -

And now we're home. Unfortunately our van isn't. It's stuck in El Paso somewhere getting new brakes put on it, which apparently went out on Thunder's drive home. Anyone out there interested in a rock band's slightly used 2004 Ford Econoline? It's a diesel, as if that sweetens the deal. Oh and it's only got about 150,000 miles on it. Luckily we wont be needing it anytime soon, not until after I do some solo shows in early April with my good buddy, the amazing Mr. Jordan Shapiro as we open up a string of dates for Shooter Jennings! (Featuring a show in Nashville with the Oak Ridge Boys on the bill. Too cool!) So it'll be the middle of April when we do some shows in Southern California (before we head to Australia!) that we need the van again. That's right, on the 15th of April we will be taking the long-ass flight down under and we can't wait to go down there and rock the Aussies!

So there you have it. All the news that's fit to print. We're still working on "Get It Together" so please be patient - it'll be well worth the wait I assure you and I'm sorry it's taking so long. I really can't wait for you all to hear it!

Well, take it easy and we'll see you out there in the trenches...

We'd love nothing better than to get it together!

Well folks, it's time to head out on the ol' road again. This time we're making our big run down to Texas through Colorado with our good buddies, The Railbenders. This should be an awesome trip, one that you don't want to miss if'n you're in one of these cities that we're gonna be hittin'. We're going to be playing at the SXSW festival in Austin on Friday, March 14th at the ever-wonderfully dumpy Emo's right there in the heart of Austin's illustrious music scene. And I'll be making some solo appearances all that week so come on out and be somebody! It'll be a durn good time for sure.

After this run, I'll be doing some solo dates with my good pal, Mr. Shooter Jennings in early April that will feature the talents of the one and only Jordan Shapiro as my trusty side-kick. These shows will be amazing as well and one of them even has the Oak Ridge Boys on the bill! Wow.

Then it's off to Australia with us! This will be the first time in about eight years that we've been "down under" so we're really looking forward to it. I can't wait to sink my teeth into some calamari and chips down there and to rock the Aussies! Should be an awesome time down there.

Okay, now for the big news. Our new record has been titled and the title is... The Supersuckers, "Get It Together"! That's right it's called "Get It Together" because that's what we've finally done. So look for this new masterpiece to be hitting the streets real soon. Like I said before, we really can't wait to drop this sucker on you and the time is getting nearer, so look out!

"I'd love nothing better than to get it together".
