Supersuckers – Born With A Tail (jesus satan’s theme song…)

i can’t think of a better way to celebrate America then by living in the past. there’s a big line up of rockabilly swingers (that would be an amazing porn site) at Hootenanny 2009… Reverend Horton Heat, Los Lobos (awesome), Nekromantix (though they’re not on the flier), HorrorPops, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Supersuckers, Blasters, 3 Bad Jacks, Roger Alan Wade, Lee Rocker, Dusty Rhodes and the River Band and plenty more at the Oak Canyon Ranch in Irvine, CA. (there’s an excellent old video from the Rev Horton Heat below this massive flier. fun to watch if only for it’s punk rock production value, so check it out.)
