"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".

...and that's a wrap!
Well, we're winding down this current run we've been on and I gotta tell you, it's been an awesome trip. Mostly sold out shows all along the east coast and the northern midwest has made for one happy bunch of traveling dudes. And the year is just getting started! Coming up in March we're going to be doing shows all through Colorado with those incredible fellas in The Railbenders which will take us down to Dallas for a show there on March 10th before we hit that ol' SXSW festival in Austin for a big show there on the 14th at Emo's, one of our favorite dumps to play in the free world. We're gonna be adding even more new songs to the set from our upcoming record, which is due out this spring, so we're getting pretty excited about that action. We can't wait to drop the new batch of hits on your ass!
But before we do those dates, I have an awesome solo date coming up on the 21st of February down in Portland, OR at Dante's. It's one of their "Low Dough" shows, so the cover will be only $5 and on the bill with me will be none other than the most amazing, ever reclusive, highly elusive, Mr. Gerald Collier! I am so stoked to get to see my old friend, I can't even begin to tell you how incredible he is. He's an absolute "must see"! So come on out all you Portlanders (Portland-tonians? Portlandites?) and see some awesomeness happen right there at Dante's in beautiful downtown Portland.
Well, our marathon drive from Kansas City to Denver is almost over and we're fixin' to put a hurtin' on the good people of Denver tonight before we go home for a couple of weeks 'til we start the engines again and bust out the rock for the good folks who need it in the western states. We're looking forward to a great year, it's gotten off to an amazing start and it only looks better as it goes on. We're coming up on the official anniversary of our 20th year this November and we can't believe how lucky we are to still be doing this. It's amazing, really, that this little old band from Tucson, AZ is still kicking (and kicking ass!) after all these years.
Here's to the next twenty! We'll see you out there...
Oh, and Happy Valentines Day. I hope it found you spending it with someone you care about as much as I care for my foxy gal. (Who I can't wait to see tomorrow!)

Cold, On-Fire, Look Out!, Needs a Title, etc...
Greetings from the icy tundra that is the northern midwestern United States right now. Currently we're traveling from cold-ass Cleveland to cold-ass Detroit and we are, you guessed it, cold. But the rock shows have been anything but cold, if fact they've been virtually on fire. Two sold out nights in cold-ass Chicago and another sell out last night in Cleveland makes for a happy band. Who says this "selling out" business is all bad? In fact, I'd argue that it's good, no, make that great, to sell out. So keep on a comin' to see us and make us happy will ya?
We're doing something pretty cool for our show coming up in Denver. We're going to be auctioning off two seats, right on the freaking stage, for our show at the Gothic Theater. The proceeds will benefit the Free The West Memphis Three Defense Fund, so it's going to a good cause as well. So get to bidding all you Denver-ites. Or is it Denver-tonians? Denver-inos? I'm not sure, but ANYWAY, just do it will ya? It'll be a durn good time, that's for sure. You'll get a first rate look at our whole lousy operation in action and an unforgettable show will be had by all! Click here to check out the auction.
In addition to opening these shows my own damn self (with the help of my esteemed colleague, Mr. Jordan Shapiro), we've been rockin' some of our new tunes out here and the response so far has been overwhelmingly positive. I can't wait to drop this new record on you all. Should be early spring when it hits. The only thing missing is a title. Any ideas? I realize that I'm opening a can of worms with this request, but I'd really kind of like to hear your suggestions, you never know what you'll get. And any band who named it's last album Motherf*ckers Be Trippin' is game for just about anything, ya know?
Keep an eye on our website for details concerning our upcoming performance at this year's SXSW festival and for information regarding our Australian tour as well. Both should be awesome events in their own way and if you're reading this from "down under", look out - we're coming your way at the end of April and we're gonna hop on top of your mom before we go!
So, in closing, the northern midwest - cold, the band - on fire, SXSW & Australia - look out, new record - needs a title. I think that 'bout sums it up for now.
Thanks for your time,
Eddie Spaghetti,
on the road somewhere in Michigan.

Here's to a truly awesome 2008!
Well, the new year is here and it's got me all in a mood to do some reminiscing. That's right, even the baddest of the bad likes to take a look back at the year that was every once in awhile. It helps put everything into perspective for the new year. One that I hope is WAY better than the last since we will have a new record coming out this year and I can't wait for that to happen - it's been way too long since you had something good for you!
So let's see here...We did just over 130 shows last year, (a number we plan on beating this year!) which included 62 shows in Europe and one at what was practically the North Pole (Tromso, Norway. Look it up, it's way up there!) We did 3 motorcycle rallies, an extreme sports event in Park City, played the ever-fabulous Hootenanny in Irvine, CA and yes, we did a blistering three song set at this year's Farm Aid in New York City! I even wound up doing just over 25 solo dates including the Summer Strummer Festival in Santa Monica, CA with my good buddy Jordan Shapiro at my side. (Jordan and I are actually gearing up for a little run of dates starting next week, so check the site for details regarding that action.) The Supersuckers finished off the year with an amazing three night stand at the Viper Room in L.A. where we rang in the new year with a Big Show, the combination of our rock and country sets all in one glorious evening. It was an awesome night for sure!
What else happened last year...? Well, 2007 saw us release our Whole Foods Benefit Download for the New Orleans Musicians Clinic as well as Fan Club CD #6. It also saw us finish up our next Fan Club DVD which will ship out at the end of this month, so if you want in on that action, make sure you join the PIT right away. It's the perfect way to start off the new year! Also last year had us featured in the TV show The Deadliest Catch, who used our song "Paid" in one of their shows and ESPN used "The Fight Song" during an NFL game which was exciting to h ear.
But perhaps the best thing we did all last year was finish our new recording which will be hitting the streets early this spring. It's a rock-n-roll juggernaut, sure to shake your tree and rattle your britches, this is some of the best sounding recordings we've ever done and I can't wait for you to hear it. Hell, I can't wait to hear it myself and I just finished making it!
So here's to a truly awesome 2008! We'll be hitting the road good and hard starting at the end of this month so keep an eye on our website to see when we're coming your way. Because we WILL be coming your way sooner or later, it's inevitable. Don't miss us as we roll into your town and bust out some of these new songs for you to get your rock-on to. It will be a good ol' time, guaranteed!
Happy New Year!

iPods, Downloads, and Gold Top's
Looks like I'll be adding some more Supersuckers ipods to the store soon. Sorry for the delay. If you just can't wait to get your hands on one email me and I'll see about getting one out to you before they hit the store.
Please check out the itunes store and the Supersuckers download section. If you don't have the Live at the Whole Foods Market Download I recommend it highly. Not only is it a benefit record but it includes an awesome radio interview with Eddie Spaghetti, Rontrose and Jordan Shapiro from the 96 WAVE / Charleston's Rock Radio Station. The interview is over 30 minutes long and includes a rare studio performance. We've sold about 100 of these so there are a lot of people missing out. You can always see how the Mid-Fi titles are selling by checking out the stats on the front page of the site.
As Eddie mentioned in the last email, the next installment of the Fan Club collection will be going out in the mail soon. It's a DVD from Serbia and it's incredible. And after we get this one we'll hopefully turn around another Fan Club CD but with unreleased material. It's hard to imagine but when we started the PIT we had less than 50 members for the first year. Maybe that's why the First Fan Club CD sell for over $99 on eBay. Now we've got about 1000 members! It's the Greatest Fan Club out there and the only one that comes with free tickets to a show. Thanks for joining. And I've also listed the names of the Gold Top Members below which I copied from the site. If you are a Gold Top Member and your name doesn't appear please let me know and I'll get that fixed. Although I'm confident that all Gold Top Members have been listed.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for news about the new full length!!!

Happy Halloween!
Turns out that Shooter Jennings fella is one nice dude. He was so awesome to hang with, he really made this Supersucker feel right at home. When we pulled up to the first show (in our super-awesome rented vehicle, by the way), he was right there, rolling out the welcome mat for us. He invited us on to their bus and proceeded to offer us some cookies and a cold brew (which I accepted) and some moonshine (which I declined). All that and his show wasn't half bad either! Turns out he kinda rocks, so Jordan and I had a pretty awesome time recently, opening up for this nice dude. Here's one of my famous camera-phone shots of the three of us hanging on his bus after the last show. Good times, Shooter, good times indeed.
So that was a lot of fun and speaking of a lot of fun, how fun is it to be in our fan club? I'll tell you, it's a TON O' FUN, that's what it is and you better hope your membership is current because in the works for all you People of Impeccable Taste is a live DVD! That's right an entire show from a gig we did in Serbia earlier this year. Rontrose Heathman is putting the finishing touches on it as I speak and it should hit your mailboxes by Christmas. (So get in the PIT, if'n you're not already!) After which time it will be time for you to join us in Los Angeles for our New Year's Eve Spectacular.
I've gotta go and get back to work on these new tunes we're gonna be busting out next month. I gotta whole bottle of inspiration sitting in front of me and it's time to get to it. We hit the studio starting November 7th, so I really gotta make use of this down-time and crank out a hit or two.
Have a happy Halloween everyone. I hope you make the best of this, perhaps the greatest American holiday ever!
Rock on

A message from a song maker-upper
Wow, what an awesome time Canada was this time around! The crowds totally turned out to see The Greatest in action and we really appreciate it. It sets us up nicely to go into the studio and bust out some new rock for the peoples, which is what we plan on doing this November. Hell, we may even bust out a full length style record after all. I know I've been saying that we're pretty much done with the full length record, but hey, I've been wrong before and I'll probably be wrong again! I feel like I may have underestimated the need for the full-length record in your lives and we're here to deliver the goods for you, after all that's what we're all about. Delivering the goods! To you, the people of impeccable taste!
But before we do that, we have to finish this tour we're on and then I've got some solo dates coming up with Shooter Jennings to bust out. That's right, I'll be taking my good buddy, Jordan Shapiro, out with me to open up a couple of shows for ol' Shooter. You may have heard of his dad, I think his name was Waylon. He was pretty famous. I hear Shooter needs a little schooling in how to entertain the good folks at his shows, so enter...Me! The man who can! Yep, I can do it and I'll be a showin' him how it's done. I hope you can make it out to see me if your in the area. It'll be a good time for sure, so check the dates and see if you'll be anywhere close to where I am and if you are, then I expect to see you there. Or you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Really, you will!
Right now, it's off to Spokane with us, then home to work on some new material for this upcoming recording session. I really need to bust ass and get some hits cranked out, so I better go. I'm wasting time with every sentence I write right now. So please forgive the brevity of this message, but I've got some hits to make up. After all, that's what I do, I'm a song maker-upper, making up the tunes for you to sing along to.
Thanks for your time,
Eddie Spaghetti, on the road somewhere in Montana, 10/08/07

Farm Aid, Canada, San Diego, etc...
Whew, what a time we just had at Farm Aid. It was a real whirlwind event which featured a blistering, 3 song, 10 minute set from us, The Supersuckers! That's right, we traveled all that way and spent untold amounts of money to stay in the New York area for a full 10 minutes of stage time but it was all worth it to get to hang with Willie Nelson and help raise awareness to the plight of the family farmer. My boy, Quattro, even got to do some dancing on Willie's bus to a brand new song that Willie played for us. It was truly awesome. You can check out our set here.
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Pretty cool, huh? Speaking of pretty cool, we're gearing up for some So Cal. dates which culminate in an appearance at the San Diego Street Scene this weekend and there's been some confusion as to when we're playing (which isn't pretty cool at all, is it?). To set the record straight, we're playing on Staurday at 4:35 on the Plaza De Mexico stage, whatever that is. So if'n you're coming out to see us, that's what you need to know. After the Street Scene it's off to Canada with us where a lot of the shows are already about to sell out (yay!), so if you're planning on coming to one of these shows, I'd recommend you get to clicking and get your tickets for the show in advance. You wouldn't want to miss it now, would you? No, that'd be a real shame!Well, that's all I've got for now. I hope to see you all out there at these shows we have coming up, they should be a rocking good time for one and all!

A Note From Eddie Spaghetti
I will be playing a solo show this Sunday (the 16th of
Sept) night right here in Seattle at the High Dive which is in the
Fremont neighborhood, so come on out and get yourself a fix of the
Spaghetti man in action. I'll be on at 9:00-ish so don't miss it!
I'll be pretty tired from having just been in Knoxville the night
before playing the Bent Fork motorcycle rally with the guys in the
band, so I'll be pretty punchy, which should make for some good
comedy, we'll see.

All good things...
Don't you just hate the end of a good thing? Like when you're
gambling and you've been up and then all of a sudden you realize,
"Hey, this is my last chip"? Sure maybe I'm making the gambling
reference 'cause we were just in Vegas, but my point is this: our
website sale is coming to an end at the end of this month and I just
thought I should be the one to break it to you. Now's the time to
catch the deals that the site has to offer, because the prices won't
be this low again anytime soon. So, like a good gambler, take a dip
into your pocket and help yourself to some savings. Buy that special
someone that Supersuckers gift they've been wanting or hey, just
treat yourself to something awesome. And while you're at it, check
out our show dates to make sure you're not about to miss The Greatest
Rock-n-Roll Band In The World as they steamroll into a town near you!
That's all. Just a quickie for ya. Check it out...

Come on down... to Awesome Town
Man did we ever have a good time last weekend in Park City, Utah. We
rocked, we rolled, we had a friend come up onstage and propose to his
lady (she accepted, by the way), it was an awesome time had by all.
We played a blistering 25 song set that night and I'm pleased to say
the crowd was amazing. I didn't know what to expect, to tell you the
truth, seeing as how it was a free show and we were told to keep it
to a PG rated performance as there were a lot of families in the
crowd, but we pulled it off without a hitch. (Of course). It was
nothing short of Awesome.
Speaking of Awesome, (and the main reason I'm writing right now), I want to let you all know that I'll be doing my solo thang this weekend up here in the great Northwest with two shows. The first one, in Olympia, WA this Friday night will be at the 4th Ave. Tavern and the second one will be Saturday night in Tacoma, WA at a place called Doyle's and they will both be Awesome, I'm sure. It's been awhile since I've made a solo appearance up around these parts and I'm looking forward to being up on that stage, taking requests from the crowd-in-a-rage, down on my knees, aiming to please, hearing the jeers, tossing back the beers, etc... You know, all the good stuff that makes up an Eddie Spaghetti solo show. So come on down to Awesome Town if'n you're in the area, it'll be a durn good time fo sho!
Well that's it for now. It's back into the quarry with me now where
I'm mining some new rock for you all to hear. Hopefully soon as we're
slated to get into the studio here next month and knock out some more
hits for you to relish. I know it's already over-due and I apologize
for that, but we've been busy little bees lately and the time just
hasn't been right for the rock, but now, we're back! And we're ready
to lay some serious tunes down on the old magnetic tape. So look out!
There's some rock a' comin' soon...
Cheers!

Sale will end soon, eBay, buy tickets in advance, and thanks for reading from the Mid-Fi Guy
Folks as you know we've been running a sale on the store for the past few weeks and this sale will end soon. There's some awesome items in our store that will eventually run out and not ever be replaced. Such as the most of the Posters and most of the 7 inches. Check out the Supersuckers signed Paid Poster or even the Eddie Spaghetti / Jordan Shapiro signed glow in the dark poster from the Snow Bird show. Both of these are a real steal! So is the Evil Powers poster. And we only have a few left of the Glow in the Dark LP's of Devils Food. Same goes with the Must've Been Live on LP. We recently introduced some new merchandise items such as shirts, knickers, stickers, buckles, a messenger bag and even other merch from other bands; Including the New York Dolls, AC/DC and even Social Distortion.
Also I want to mention that we've got a lot of shows coming up, so anybody in the PIT please reach out to me fast with your guest list requests. And if your a Gold Top member remember you automatically get a plus 1 to shows when you request to be on the guest list. Keep that in mind. And if you having a hard time converting a pal to the mighty mighty talent of the Supersuckers send them a song from our download page. That usually does the trick and we really try to make it easy for people to hear the music and spread the word.
Remember to always check out the never ending eBay auctions and to please buy your show tickets in advance..... Thanks for everything and thanks for reading. If anyone has any questions or concerns please let me know. Hopefully I'll see you on the road or at the Park City show this Saturday.

And the winner is...
So... It's time to reveal the big winner of the signed Gold Top guitar that we're giving away to a lucky (and smart) fan club member for joining the club for life. And that winner, picked out of a hat of names for maximum randomness, is (drum roll please) none other than Mr. Craig Thiede! So Craig, if you're out there please contact The Mid-Fi Guy here and let's get you that guitar, A.S.A.P. Congratulations my friend and thanks to all of you who signed up, we really appreciate your membership and we promise not to disappoint you and your high expectations of us, The Greatest Rock-n-Roll Band In The World.
Speaking of the Greatest, let me give a slightly belated birthday shout out to the greatest person in my life, my beautiful wife, Jessika! Happy Birthday, Honey and thanks for being there for me for another year - I couldn't do it without you!
We just finished an awesome run together that culminated in some great shows in San Francisco (where our boy, Quattro, rocked the crowd) and Portland. The audiences at these two shows were particularly good (insane) and we rocked some new tunes for the peoples on this run to rave reviews ("The new tunes totally rocked, dude!"). I know, blah, blah, blah. Me, me, me. How good are we? Totally awesome, that's how good we are. Are you as tired of hearing how great we are as I am of saying it? Well, I wish I didn't feel like I have to remind everyone all the time but the truth of the matter is, no one else is gonna do it, so I kind of have to. It's not like we're getting any love from any of the major magazines or from TV stations or anything, so, it's kind of on me to do it. Sorry to have to drag you into it, but hey, you signed up for these little messages, didn't you? I hope you understand my need to proclaim our greatness from time to time. It's all part of the job. I guess I figure that if you tell 100 percent of the people how great you are, then at least 50 percent will believe you and that's a pretty good ratio, really. To put it in baseball terms, that's batting .500 and NO ONE does that!
So, those of you still reading this missive, please take note of all the shows we have coming up and come on out and see for yourself. We really are The Greatest. Still.

All right folks!
Eddie Speaks...
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Alright folks, The Supersuckers have some awesome shows coming up and I'm pestering you to please get tickets in advance and not do the old walk up to the door the night of the show. It really helps us out with these promoters to have a decent pre-sale and it's all up to you to make that happen! Below are shows and the ticket links. Please start clicking. This tour is going to be a lot of fun and I've got a feeling we'll feature some new songs. Plus, Jordan Shapiro and I will be opening most of these dates. We'll also feature a lot of new merchandise out there on the road. Some Dan "Thunder" Bolton designed shirts along with some other fine quality merchandise that you've come to expect over the years.
And it's true..... The Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch has been using the song "Paid". And I certainly have enjoyed reading all the comments in the message board for the Deadliest Catch. Sure wish we could get more songs used in Film and TV. If anyone out there reading this knows anyone in the movie business looking for music please have them reach out to Chris "The Mid-Fi Guy" Neal. We've been real fortunate to have songs used for the xbox games, etc. We'd certainly like more of this action.
We're still running the sale in the store. There's some great items in there that won't last much longer. If I were to recommend a few I'd pick up the Eddie Spaghetti / Jordan Shapiro signed glow in the dark poster or the Supersuckers signed Paid Poster. I'll also grab the Devil's Food LP because that glows in the dark as well. Maybe I'm just into the whole glow in the dark thing right now...
Lastly, if there any fan club members out there looking for guest list spots, let Chris know. He'll try and make that happen for you PIT members.
Take it Easy!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
It's time to let the cat out of the bag - this weekend's show at the Tractor here in Seattle will be a full on rock blast from the almighty Supersuckers! That's right, we had to keep it a secret so as not to interfere with last Sunday's show here at the Georgetown Music Fest, but now that that's over we can feel safe in letting you know what's up. So come on out this Friday for a rare treat - a rock show at the Tractor where we'll play some new songs for you as well as some old favorites. It'll be worth your time for sure!
Speaking of worth your time, check this out. It's our new, download only release, "Live at the Whole Foods Market at Arabella Station". The proceeds of which will benefit the New Orleans Musicians Clinic which is helping out those still affected by Hurricane Katrina down there. It's a good cause and a great listen, so pick it up if you can. We will be doing a CD of this release but not right away, we're currently only offering it as a digital download.
That's all for now, I really hope to see you this Friday if'n you're in the Seattle area.
Cheers!

Speaking of...
Hey there peoples, how you doin'? I hope this email finds you all well and good and ready to rock.
Speaking of ready to rock, that's just what we've been doing lately - getting ready to rock. As in rehearsal time! That's right we've been back in the old quarry, mining some fresh rock for you all to enjoy and it's been mighty productive and mighty satisfying to be getting some new tunes busted out. Hopefully we'll be playing a couple of them at our upcoming shows in Olympia on June 2nd and Seattle on June 3rd (in beautiful Georgetown!) so make sure you come on out to those if you can, it'll be a treat for sure! And speaking of treats, make sure you come on out to the Tractor Tavern in Seattle on June 8th for a very Super-Special show featuring me, Eddie Spaghetti, and my Super-Friends as we rock, and I do mean ROCK the Tractor. It'll be a great one you won't want to miss.
Speaking of missing something, if there's anyone out there who hasn't received their copy of the latest Fan Club CD please email the Mid-Fi Guy so he can check and make sure your membership is current. You don't want to miss out on this disc, it's killer!
And speaking of killer, has anyone seen Jerry Lee Lewis lately? Just wondering how he's holding up. Gotta look out for The Killer, ya know...
See you at the shows!

Whassup peoples?
Whassup peoples? It's your good friend, Eddie Spaghetti here, once again flogging the Supersuckers to your discerning palettes out there in "internet-land".
What's new you ask, well how 'bout this - we're offering up a credit on our new record to anyone who decides to become a lifetime member of the PIT. That's right, in addition to all the good stuff you'll get by becoming a member of the PIT - free CDs and DVDs, guest list action to any of our shows, etc..., for LIFE - you'll also get to see your name in the liner notes for our next release. A chance for eternal bragging rights to all your friends for sure! So what're you waiting for? Here's a chance of a lifetime, grab it!
What else? Well we're playing in L.A. this week, May 1st & 2nd to be precise. At the Viper Room and it will be awesome. I'm especially looking forward to our country set on the 2nd as it's been quite a while since we busted that one out and we'll have the help of the talented Mr. Jordan Shapiro and Clay Bartlett on pedal steel and bass, respectively. And speaking of Jordan Shapiro, he and I will be doing one of my infamous solo shows together on May 3rd down in El Segundo at the Tavern On Main. So come on out to that as well, if you dare.
Then we're looking to be in the studio mining some fresh rock for you all before we hit the road again at the end of June and into July. We'll be doing some long overdue Texas dates on this run, so look out for that action, it'll be hot! Real hot!
And that's all I'm gonna bug you with for now. Thanks for your time, the rockin'-est band in the land appreciates it!
