The Supersuckers were formed in Tucson, AZ, in 1988 by high-school friends Eddie Spaghetti (born Edward Carlyle Daly III, bass, vocals), Ron Heathman (guitar), Dan "Thunder" Bolton (guitar), Dancing Eagle (born Dan Seigal, drums), and Eric Martin (lead vocals).
Shortening their name to the Supersuckers, the band recorded singles for several indie labels, including eMpTy, Sympathy for the Record Industry, and Lucky; these were collected on the eMpTy compilation The Songs All Sound the Same, which became the band's first CD release in 1992.
Strongly disenchanted by the experience, the Supersuckers landed on the small Twenty14.com label and finally recorded the proper follow-up to Sacrilicious, recycling some of the material from their ill-fated Interscope debut.

It seems that the Supersuckers are perpetually on the road, recording, making videos, giving interviews, staying in touch, and over and over again rocking as only they can do.
Veteran's they are, having been around for more than ten years at this point, and continuing to cultivate and actually improve upon their genuinely irreverent and insolent attitude and style - consistently reliable as horns-a-flashing, finger-flipping, beer guzzlin', dry-desert mythological rock demons...
