Supersuckers - Holdin' The Bag (16 de Octubre 2016)

¿y qué tal suena, Rear?

Me he equivocado. Si que anda por ahi, ya que el disco salió ayer, pero aún no he encontrado ningún enlace que vaya en condiciones.

Cuando encuentres enlace pues ya sabes

Ahora si, ya está por ahi... Y bastante chulo por cierto.

está en spoti y de momento me ha parecido un rollo

Lo he estado escuchando esta tarde, muy bueno, Rock & Roll en estado puro....... tal y como ellos nos tienen acostumbrados

el único tema que me llama la atención es la versión de Depeche Mode

Sin ser su mejor disco ni muchisimo menos, se me hace agradable de escuchar, que ya es más de lo que me esperaba.

Primera escucha en el spoti, la primera impresión es que sin ser la hostia, no está mal. Habrá que darle más escuchas para tener una opinión bien formada.

Malas noticias: a Eddie Spaghetti le han detectado un cancer de faringe, nivel 3

Well shit.

As you may or may not have heard the Supersuckers have had to cancel their upcoming European tour due to unforeseen issues. Not ones to keep you good people of impeccable taste in the dark, we'd like you to hear it from us first.

Our lead singer, bass playing madman, Eddie Spaghetti, has been diagnosed with stage 3 oropharynx cancer and will undergo surgery and radiation treatments this summer.

All good vibes, juju and well wishes accepted.

More news as it comes.

Esperemos que salga adelante...

Comunicado por parte de una tal Jessika, que imagino debe ser la mujer de Eddie Spaghetti. Pinta muy mal el asunto

On the afternoon of Monday, June 15, after five long days of holding our breath, the phone finally rang, from a number we have all too soon memorized. “Eddie,” he said “you have stage 3 oropharynx cancer and you should come in for surgery as soon as possible.” I was driving the car, heading to Portland, OR with the whole family and even though we knew the call was coming, I had to pull over. I couldn’t breath, he was scrambling for paper and a pen and I just felt my arms get weak. I saw his face become tense and scared. This was the news we waited impatiently for, it was the call that would change everything.

Like E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

It is so hard to write this not only because of what is happening, but to whom it is happening to. I’m talking about my husband of nearly 16 years, who is a son, brother, nephew, uncle, friend and amazing father to our three kids Quattro, Elvis and Zeke (ages 14, 5, 3). I am talking about a man who chose his career path the minute he first heard The Knack play “My Sharona”. The guy who started a band, the Supersuckers, with his best friends and has played stages, big and small, around the world for the last 30 years. A man who has been doing just that thing that made him so happy as a kid. A man who is more important, influential, and crucial than he will ever know, to so many of us.

To say I’m crushed is the understatement of the century. To say we have had a tough year is the only truth I know.

Eddie Spaghetti of the Supersuckers, is now facing surgery to remove the cancer that was found in a neck mass during a biopsy in NYC. After a persistent, what we believed to be allergy related, swollen lymph node in his neck turned up squamous cell carcinoma while our family was traveling across the country on a year long journey, we were forced to seek an immediate Pet-scan in LA (where the band was meeting to start a tour). Knowing you have cancer cells in a neck mass is one thing, hearing that they need to scan your whole body to find out where it originated was too much for this guy.

Learning about the process shut him down for awhile. Unable to hold many conversations with me in those days we had to wait for the scan and then the 5 to wait for results. I was scared for him but I just kept asking “how are you doing?” everyday. Every 30 minutes probably. I was annoying. Seeing someone actually afraid of dying (or worse, his words, “not being able to sing…”), well, if it weren’t for our three kids, I’m just not sure how either of us would have survived. Keeping the news quiet and strictly with the closest of family (band included) was just an added bonus to the intense pressure that was building.

It is true what they say, that it takes a village. We would be in a dark, dark place without “our village” but thankfully, we are not. My best friend has cancer and there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it. There’s no amount of money that would rid him of this horrible disease so many suffer from. There is no one I can call to make things better but the support that we already have felt from everyone knocks us off our feet.

After Eddie recovers from surgery (scheduled for Monday June 29 in Los Angeles) with his family by his side at our friends guest house, he will undergo radiation- everyday for at least 6 weeks. They are hopeful there will be no chemo but until the results come back, we will not know. In that time of his surgery recovery, I will be looking for an apartment and employment (writing, social media, personal assistant) in the LA area.

On June 18, Eddie plays his last show with his band for awhile, making it bittersweet as he will be one step closer to getting this shit over with but he will have to put on hold the very thing he has always done; put his guitar strap across his shoulder, walk up to the mic and play his heart out. There will be no income after the last show before Eddie's surgery while The Supersuckers have had to cancel their summer European tour and plans to release the next Supersuckers album are in jeopardy.

Por otro lado, parece que sacaran un nuevo disco de country (el primero desde Must've Been High, que salió hace unos 20 años), cuando la cosa se calme un poco.

While we wait for Eddie Spaghetti to whip cancers ass, we want to share some good news with y'all. Our new country record (1st one since 'Must've Been High' almost 20 years ago) is complete! We'll get this fucker out when the time is right. It's loaded with great songs and brilliant guest stars. Stay tuned. - Supersuckers

Así están las cosas ahora mismo

Well last week was a roller coaster that has exhausted the family on a new level.

Eddie’s surgery schedule hit a snag and to tell you the truth, we aren’t exactly sure why. Insurance, money... he was being squeezed in as it were, as his surgeons are both scheduled for vacations mid July, so I guess his slot just got lost. We had some amazing help navigating the ins and outs and I am so grateful for that.

What I do know is that he has to now go in for another biopsy on Thursday morning. This doesn’t make it look great for his surgery getting done before they vacation. Eddie is upset by this but he does understand that it is out of our hands. So much is out of our hands, we are really learning to go with the flow and do what we can with what we have and even though part of that is cancer, it just so happens to be a lot of love and support. Because through it all, we know he has a very good chance of recovery and getting his life back on track, although it may not be when we originally thought, the outpouring of love is… well, it keeps us going sometimes when things get super tough.

From what we have heard, now that his treatment location has been secured at City of Hope and doctors have advised us, he will have to wait 8 weeks after surgery to have radiation. When the pathology results come back from the surgery, we will have a better idea. The plan at this point, is to then start radiation for an unknown length of time but usually it is about 6 weeks. They believe he will NOT need chemotherapy but we were told they can’t say for certain (I mean honestly, at this point we know to take everything with a grain of salt- two surgeries canceled…).

So what does this mean? It means a lot really. Eddie and the band will be off of work possibly longer than we were originally told, his recovery from surgery will be much gnarlier than we thought and we will be in California until at least Christmastime. All in all, there are a lot of bad things, the other guys in the band being heavy on his heart as he hates to see them be put on hold, but we are choosing to highlight the good. There will be more time to write songs, enjoy the sun and spend time together. But what this also means is Eddie will be out of work for much longer than we projected and I would like to thank you all for supporting us.

Speaking of supporting us, you have no idea the chills we got when we heard we reached our original goal. Not knowing what to set the initial number at, Eddie’s amazing team has had the honor of sharing the news and we are beside ourselves. But this is not over, not even close. Medical bills alone have been more than $10,000 out of our pocket and we haven’t even started! On top of moving to LA and establishing residency. We would like to ask that you keep sharing our story, keep rooting for Eddie and know that all of it is going to a very good man. He is a good seed, he is an amazing musician and he is not done. Maybe he is just getting started?
