Supersuckers - 20th Anniversary Show
20 years? Is that even possible? I mean, name something you've been
doing, voluntarily, for 20 years. Can you even do that? It really doesn't
feel like it's been even five years of doing this, much less twenty. Well,
like it or not, it has been 20 full years of hanging out with pretty much
the same bunch of guys, doing roughly the same thing, every day,
every night and there's no end in sight. The night that these songs
were recorded was pretty much like any other night in our lives.
Except it wasn't.
We were there to celebrate our existence. To go chronologically
through our repertoire and bring it to a sold out house at the fabulous
Showbox in downtown Seattle, where we cut our teeth for the last 20
years. I mean, how long could it take to run through our history (or at
least touch on most of the highlights)? Well, it turns out it took us
about two and a half hours. That's right, there is about two and a half
hours of glorious Supersuckers mayhem right here. Warts and all. And
I'd be lying if I said there weren't any warts here to be heard, because
you don't get through two and a half hours on stage without hitting a
few clams along the way. But that's all part of the fun. It's the
Supersuckers after all, not the Seattle Philharmonic, so what do you
expect? Perfection? Well, in it's own way that's what's represented here
in this recording - that perfectly imperfect moment, where everything
is wrong and it feels so right. Where anything that can go wrong, does
and yet it still works.
Somehow, someway, after twenty years we still got it...
So here's to the next twenty!
That what I'm talking about...

Paper Bird - Live at Twist and Shout
Standing firm in no existing genre, Paper Bird's backbone is their
songwriting, musicianship and a general allergy to all limitations and
trends. With seven
members and no leader, this band is pulled in every direction
imaginable, but thanks to their unique instrumentation this Colorado
based group is able to merge
their spontaneous creativity into one, solid sound. The members of the
band- Sarah Anderson, vocals and trumpet; sisters Esmé and Genny
Patterson, vocals; Tyler Archuletta, trombone; Paul DeHaven, guitar;
Caleb Summeril, banjo; Macon Terry, upright bass - bring a Jazzy,
Folk, Americana sound that pays homage to the American Bandstand of
the 1950’s. Still, they are able to achieve the Indie rock image and
resonance of the current age. The band’s inception came three years
ago in Breckenridge, Colorado. Meeting for the first time, the members
were busking in the streets where they earned a couple hundred
dollars, bought some beer and dinner, and decided to form a band.
Later that same month they went into the studio and recorded their
first album Anything Nameless and Joymaking, which has been a top
selling record in local retail stores. The Colorado favorites have
recently been in the studio recording their sophomore album. The
band is so excited about their new creation they decided to release a
prelude to the full-length album. The five song EP A Sky
Underground was self-released before their 2009 summer tour
which included stops at High Sierra Music Festival, Oregon Country
Fair, 10,000 Lakes, and Mile High Music Festival. The female vocals
create a soulful, dynamic harmony that accentuates each singer, while
giving the illusion of a single voice. The trombone, banjo, and guitar
elevate the music to a higher level
while the skilled notes of the bass reflect the harmonies. Each style
bounces off the other, while each note appreciates the other. They
make audiences feel love, excitement, and passion. A show not to be
missed, a band that must be heard: Paper Bird is one of a kind.

Hayden - The Place Where We Lived
In 1996, Hayden performed both nights of Neil Young's annual Bridge
School Concert. In 1998, Hayden toured North America with a full band
in support of The Closer I Get. After the release of The
Closer I Get, Hayden was bought out from his contract with
Universal Records for a large sum of money. Full details have never
become public.
In 2001 (and with no label support), Hayden very quietly distributed
100 hand-written, packaged and numbered copies of Skyscraper
National Park to friends and independent record shops throughout
Toronto. This was quickly followed by an additional 1,500 hand-
numbered copies (this time with professionally printed liner notes).
These copies were primarily sold at live shows. The critical success of
these two limited-edition runs led to a full commercial release of the
recording later that same year. In 2004, Hayden released his long
awaited follow up album, Elk Lake Serenade, and toured North
America with Oshawa's Cuff the Duke acting as his back-up band.
Magic Wands - Magic Love & Dreams EP
Magic Wands are a two-piece from either Los Angeles, CA or Nashville,
TN. They’re not really sure. Currently, however, they do know that they
are drifting across the country bringing a “wall of guitars” and
“unapologetic cosmic pop” to all parts of the U.S. while touring with
The Kills and The Horrors. Taking cues from the likes of The
Ravonettes (run at half speed), Morrissey and My Bloody Valentine,
Artrocker describes them as “Slick and sexy, glutinous and
glimmering.”
The Boy Least Likely To – The Best B-Sides Ever
hello fans,
we thought you might like to know a bit more about the b sides and
rarities compilation that we've put together. this is what the cover looks
like. we were thinking that because b sides are usually songs that don't
make it on to albums or aren't good enough to be a sides, that we
would remake the original cover for the best party ever but with
characters that were rejected from the original drawings we did for
being too ugly or weird.??
i hope you like it.
