VOODOO EXPERIENCE | WORSHIP THE MUSIC | OCT 30 / OCT 31 / NOV 1, 2009

SUPLECS is raw, heavy rock from New Orleans. They blend the sounds of New Orleans with their own unique style of heavy metal. Their debut album wrestlin’ with my lady friend was released by renowned artist, Frank Kozik’s label, Mansruin Records in April of 2000. It received rave reviews and in 2002 Suplecs released their 2nd full length, sad songs…better days on Mansruin and later re-released on This Dark Reign/Devil Doll Records. This album has the same intensity as the first with much more diversity and better production. The songs are written with room for improvising for an extra treat for the audience. Dave Fortman of Ugly Kid Joe fame produced it. He also produced other New Orleans acts such as Super Joint Ritual, Clearlight, EHG, as well as all of the major label projects he is doing right now.

Suplecs consists of Durel Yates (guitars, vocals), Danny Nick (bass, vocals) and Andrew Preen (Drums). Durel and Danny have been playing in bands now for over 10 years and started Suplecs with Andrew in 1996. Each member was born and raised in the Crescent City.

Suplecs has done about 6 full U.S tours and toured throughout Canada. They’ve toured with acts such as Clutch, High on Fire, Eyehategod, ATP and many more. They’ve played the Warp Tour, the SXSW Festival 4 years in a row and the CMJ festival. The video for the song "Rock Bottom" is scheduled to play on the Headbangers Ball on MTV. Suplecs was also featured in High TImes Magazine and "sad songs... better days" was picked as one of the top 10 records of 2002, and six of their songs were play on Fox Sports Net for Blue Torch T.V.
