[JANUARY 12, 2003]
A NOTE FROM EDDIE SPAGHETTI
Well, here it is, another "night before the release" at the Spaghetti manor. As you may or may not know, my record, The Sauce, "drops" (that's what the kids call it these days) tomorrow (or today, by the time you read this), Tuesday, Jan 13th. It's always kind of cool sitting here before the record comes out, not knowing what people will think and hoping for the best. No matter how many records I've put out, it's still exciting on "the eve".
It'll be a busy day tomorrow (today? - whatever). I start with a live appearance on KEXP, 90.3 here in Seattle at noon Pacific time. You can check it out anywhere in the world if you want at
www.kexp.org and hear me screw it all up live on the radio! Then at 6:00 pm, I'll be doing a little gig at the Sonic Boom record store in Seattle on Market Street in my 'hood - the mean streets of Ballard! I'm gonna head down to Portland the next day (Wednesday the 14th) to do another in-store appearance at Music Millennium, 801 NW 23rd (NW 23rd and Johnson), at 6:00 again. So if you're in either of those areas, please come on out and help me to get The Sauce off to a great start!
Then, next week, The Supersuckers will be heading to England, Scotland and Ireland for a couple weeks before heading down the west coast here in the states. After that, hello South America! Do we ever stop? No, we don't.
For all you "electronic auctioneers" out there, we've got some some Ebay action happening right now. There's a test pressing of the L.P. for The Sauce which is super cool since the vinyl won't be out for another month or so. There's also some miscellaneous, one of a kind art proofs, signed posters (by me and the cover model!) and other knicks and knacks. Check it out!
Please, please, please (ain't too proud to beg!) go out and get The Sauce. I guarantee it'll provide you with some good listening. Come see The Supersuckers if we're in, or even near, your town. We'll rock your ass!
