The Supersuckers formed in 1988 as The Black Supersuckers in Tucson, AZ and moved to Seattle in 1989 where they were part of the developing Seattle music scene. They issued their first album, The Smoke of Hell, on the Sub Pop label in 1992. After four more albums with Sub Pop, the band formed their own record label, Mid-Fi Recordings, in 2001. Under Mid-Fi they’ve released four additional albums and one singles collection.
Said Darryl Smyers of the Dallas Observer: “For almost 20 years, the Supersuckers have been playing their brand of full-throttle punkabilly, praising everything associated with sex, Satan, booze and drugs with a rancorous glee that borders on psychopathic.”
The Supersuckers have recorded with many artists including: Willie Nelson, Steve Earle, Kelley Deal of The Breeders, and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. They have appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno backing Willie Nelson. They have toured with numerous bands such as Mudhoney, Social Distortion, Bad Religion, The Ramones, Motörhead, Flogging Molly, Toadies, Supagroup, The Reverend Horton Heat, The New York Dolls, The Dwarves, and White Zombie.
