Boys Named Sue was a alt-country band from Los Angeles, CA. They performed in rock clubs in the early 1990's, appearing at least twice with Weezer. Their bassist, Dave Chapple, later went on to play with Baby Lemonade.[1][2]

It was really [my] first DJ gig, and it went pretty well except when [I] played "I'm a Little Bit Country" by Donnie and Marie Osmond after the country tinged LA scenesters Boys Named Sue left the stage. The feathered cowboy hat longhaired leather jacketed lead singer got up in [my] face and said "Don't you EVER do that AGAIN!" No sense of humor, those guys...
