The Supersuckers fucking rule. You ever head their version of Willie Nelson's 'Bloody Mary Morning,' featuring the Braided One himself on guitar? Thing of beauty.
Also, my oft-mentioned lesbian ex told me a few times that she thought singer Eddie Spaghetti was 'hot.' Go figure.
In a just world, the 'suckers, the Fastbacks, Nashville Pussy, The Muffs and Southern Culture On The Skids would be superstars and most of the Top 40 (and alt.rock playlists) would be cleaning bus station toilets.
Heh. Actually, those bands are all* really commercial, in the best way. And I've played them for people with very mainstream tastes and they dug them. I'm still not sure what went wrong. And these bands aren't taken very seriously in the alt-rock side of things either, at least not these days.
*You could add the Bottle Rockets and Bellrays to that list, too.
