With the release of their latest CD Get It Together (review here), The Supersuckers threw in an accompanying live DVD. That show is now available as an audio digital download.
The 25-song set sees the boys dishing out their own special brand of hot rock n' roll. None of the country numbers make it here, only the high octane goodness.
Eddie and company give us a pretty broad survey of the Supersuckers' catalogue. Older numbers like "Caliente" and "Mudhead" get dusted off and appear next to Get It Together tracks "What It Takes", "Paid", "When I Go, I'm Gone", and "Anything Else".
Of course, when you play a song 150+ nights a year, you can get bored playing it. To fight this the Supersuckers give us a sick rocked up rendition of "Roadworn & Weary" that's worth the price of the download alone.
On top of that there's the countrified version of "Creepy Jackalope Eye". On this occasion it's broken up by Eddie's hilarious rant about Good vs. Awesome. It must be heard for the references to Awesometics the novel written by L. Ron Heathman.
Apparently the show was recorded on National Talk Like a Pirate Day, which we learn when the boys talk like pirates after blasting out "Fisticuffs".
The recording itself is a little bit bottom heavy, but you really don't notice after a track or two when the performance whips you into a frenzy.
Strong performance, awesome tunes, and more witty banter than you could swing a dead cat at. Yep, it's a Supersuckers show.
The Supersuckers play Lee's Palace in Toronto on Mar. 13th as part of Canadian Music Week.
