The Supersuckers
Loppen, Christiania, March 26th 2007

I've lost count of how many times I've seen Supersuckers since '92, but they always put on a great fuckin' rock'n'roll show, and tonite was no different. The r'n'r clichés always get a workover to max, and this gig was an over-the-top display of 70s hardrock showmanship. After a weak start with some new songs that didn't sounded that great, they played "Luck" off "Smoke Of Hell" and the crowd went wild. "Coattail Rider" was performed in 'straight' version, and later in a jazz version, just to show us how great and tight musicians they are. Tonite's r'n'r hero was the young drummer (from Reverend Horton-Heat) who's probably the coolest and most talented skinsman I've ever witnessed! Another rock solid performance from the Supersuckers, though I wouldn't mind seeing Eddie Spaghetti doing an acoustic country show again.
