Ron "Rontrose" Heathman

Few bands can get away with the cross-section of sleaze, rockabilly, and punk like the Supersuckers and still be both hilarious and talented. LIVE IN ORANGE CO. celebrates nearly two decades of the band's trawl through the Americana sewer with both their second live DVD and fourth live release. Fans should lap up this "unrated" package; it features a more blistering, electric set than its lone predecessor, LIVE IN ANAHEIM, and proves that the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies to oversexed, Satan-honoring, greased-back gutter punks perhaps better than anything else. And that's a compliment.

We were there to celebrate our existence. To go chronologically through our repertoire and bring it to a sold out house at the fabulous Showbox in downtown Seattle, where we cut our teeth for the last 20 years. I mean, how long could it take to run through our history (or at least touch on most of the highlights)? Well, it turns out it took us about two and a half hours. That's right, there is about two and a half hours of glorious Supersuckers mayhem right here. Warts and all.
