CATCH HIM AT HELL'S KITCHEN FRIDAY >>>
Lemmy of Motorhead once mumbled, "If you don't like the Supersuckers, you don't like rock and roll." It's safe to say the same applies to Eddie Spaghetti, who, when not leading the Seattle-based rockers, unleashes solo material in dimly lit clubs - like our own Hell's Kitchen this Friday.
Today in his email newsletter, Spaghetti announced he's officially a signed artist again.
"I have taken my pen to paper and made a deal with the devil and it is my pleasure to announce that I, Eddie Spaghetti, have signed on to do a few records with the incredible label that is Bloodshot Records," he wrote in the newsletter. "While the band continues their break throughout the summer, I will be recording my third solo record. In fact I will be in there in about a week."
He goes on to write that rumors of a Supersuckers break-up are false.
"After 20 years with basically no real break, no spring break, no rodeo vacation, no holidays in the sun (oh well, there were a few, but you know what I mean) we have decided to just take a fucking break. We need new songs. We need new things to write about other than being on the road and the stage. So the best thing we could think of was to take a damn break. This is not my side band, I am not a hobby rocker, this is my goddamn job, so I will and we will be back on tour and back on stage, but not until we are damn good and ready," Spaghetti writes.
Spaghetti has recruited drummer Scottzilla Churilla and guitarist "Metal" Marty Chandler for his sessions at Bloodshot.
What to expect at his show Friday at the Kitchen?
He'll be "fleshing out some new songs I'll be fixin' to record. ... You can come out and tell me first hand what's on your mind, 'cause if I'm there, I'm there to be talked to and met with and all that good shizz... And if you buy something, I'll sign it, I'll lick it, I'll wipe my ass with it because I'm there to please."
