SUPERSUCKERS

"Hyperthyroid tempos! Scuzzy guitars!" --Rolling Stone

"Fired-up blues-grunge!" --Interview

"The ultimate party band!" --Option

"Adrenaline drips off the frets like week-old bongwater...**** (4 stars)!!" --Guitar World

"If you don't like the Supersuckers, you're a real creep." --Tasty Green 'zine

The Supersuckers relocated to Seattle from Tucson at the tail end of the me-me-me '80s and provided Seattle with a fresh injection of crowd-pleasing, good-time rock. After singles on the Sympathy For The Record Industry, Lucky, and eMpTy labels, the Supersuckers released a singles compilation CD for eMpTy before signing with Sub Pop for 1992's The Smoke of Hell. With its subversive and infamous cover art by underground comics god Daniel Clowes, and such inventive lyricism as rhyming "marijuana" with "Lola Falana," the Supersuckers would have been driving young boys to ungodly acts and deflowering young virgins even if their legendary cover of Ice Cube's "Dead Homiez" had never been released.

The Supersuckers headlined the Sub Pop Lame Fest Japan, a 4-city Japanese tour, with the Fastbacks, Seaweed, and Supersnazz. Footage from that tour was edited for the first video off La Mano Cornuda, "Gold Top." The band shot the video for "Creepy Jackalope Eye" in Arizona while on the road.

Honestly, the Supersuckers are the greatest live band Seattle has seen sinceJimi was playing street fairs and Heart was covering Led Zeppelin I and II at the Aquarius. And while there's no way you can truly experience the Supersuckers on disc (short of disrobing and hucking beers at your CD player), La Mano Cornuda is as bold and infectious a near-classic as we could've hoped for. You get the idea.

Ugly American rock meets a bubbly Bavarian Dark. (burp)
