Screeching Weasel – Suzanne Is Getting Married / Waiting For Susie
Bass by Mike Dirnt of Green Day
Label:Lookout! Records – Lookout Number 86, Lookout! Records – Lookout Records 86 Format: Vinyl, 7", Single Country:US Released:1994 Genre:Rock Style:Punk
Original pressing with B&W artwork and glued photo. Ben Weasel glued the wedding photo to the front of the original sleeve, covering up the printing error of the artwork. Some copies have had the wedding photo peeled off to reveal the original, misprinted cover (see images) which is identical to Screeching Weasel - Suzanne Is Getting Married / Waiting For Susie except for the cake drawing is printed in black and white.

This 7" single was released by Screeching Weasel to commemorate the marraige of Suzanne Bartchy of Maximum Rock 'n Roll magazine and Ramsey Kanaan of AK Press. The two songs are outtakes from the "How To Make Enemies And Irritate People" sessions (the b-side, "Waiting For Susie", was originally written for the "Wiggle" album but voted off). The cover features artwork drawn by Lookout's Christopher Appelgren. However, the first pressing had a printing error where the drawing came out in b&w, so at the insistence of Ben Weasel the label pasted a photo from the actual wedding over the artwork. It was later repressed with the corrected artwork and no wedding photo.

Screeching Weasel is an American punk rock band consisting of Ben Weasel (vocals), Mike Kennerty (guitar), Mike Hunchback (guitar), Zach "Poutine" Brandner (bass) and Pierre Marche (drums). Screeching Weasel is originally from the Chicago suburb of Prospect Heights, Illinois. The band was formed in 1986 by Ben Weasel and John Jughead. Since their formation, Screeching Weasel have reformed several times with lineup changes. Ben Weasel has been the only constant member, though Jughead was present in every incarnation of the band until 2009. Other prominent members include guitarist/bassist Dan Vapid and drummer Dan Panic, who have each appeared on six of the band's studio albums, and Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt who appeared on one.

Screeching Weasel has recorded 14 studio albums so far, splitting time between a number of famous independent record labels such as Lookout! Records and Fat Wreck Chords. Despite never achieving mainstream success, a number of largely popular acts cite them as influential.

Early years (1986–1989)

The band originally called themselves All Night Garage Sale but changed their name to Screeching Weasel, a variation of a name a friend had suggested, Screaming Otter, which was a reference to a T-shirt that read, "I'VE GOT A SCREAMING OTTER IN MY PANTS!".[3] Shortly after their formation, Weasel decided that it was too difficult to play bass and sing at the same time, so Vince Vogel, who took the stage name "Vinnie Bovine" joined as the band's bassist. The band recorded their debut album, Screeching Weasel, in one night for $200 and released it on Chicago label Underdog Records in 1987.

In 1988, Bovine was fired from the band and was replaced with Warren Fischer, better known as Fish, and former member of the band Ozzfish. The band recorded their second studio album, Boogadaboogadaboogada!, which featured Weasel playing second guitar (he would later state that he only played on about a quarter of the songs) and made a name for themselves by opening a show for Operation Ivy at 924 Gilman Street. Steve Cheese was fired from the band shortly after the recording due to his unwillingness to tour outside of Chicago. He was replaced by Aaron Cometbus for two shows[4] who then was replaced by Brian Vermin. Boogadaboogadaboogada! was released in late 1988 on Roadkill Records, a label formed by David Best.

After what Weasel described as a "disastrous" tour,[5] Fish left the group and was replaced by Dan Schafer, originally nicknamed "Sewercap" and later renamed Danny Vapid. The new band members recorded an extended play entitled Punkhouse for Limited Potential Records soon after that. The band ended up recording four more songs in 1989 that were featured on compilations, featuring a second guitarist Doug Ward, who also joined the band for several live performances. Screeching Weasel disbanded when Vermin and Vapid stated that they wanted to leave the band to concentrate on their side project, Sludgeworth.
