Headlined Whisky Show New Years!
2002
Explosive, head-banging, foot-stomping, obscenity-laden,
punk charged, sexually fueled, in-your-face - NASHVILLE
PUSSY is coming at you full-throttle. NASHVILLE PUSSY'S
latest release HIGH AS HELL on TVT Records is a souped-up
hot rod of musical styles, muscular rhythms, break-neck
tempos and balls-out new songs that swagger, strut, stomp
and fly in the face of convention. HIGH AS HELL is a southern-fried,
finger lickin' good, red hot platter of sexy, raunchy, high-voltage
rock & roll. With HIGH AS HELL scheduled for release in
Europe this summer - NASHVILLE PUSSY is more than "nationwide"
- they are "super-sized"! NASHVILLE PUSSY is rock & roll's
main course - appetizing, substantial, hot and tasty!
Nominated for a Grammy for Best Metal Performance
in 1999 for "Fried Chicken and Coffee" from their Mercury
Records debut release LET THEM EAT PUSSY (produced by Fastbacks'
Kurt Bloch) - HIGH AS HELL (also produced by Bloch) is "more
of the same," according to guitarist Ruyter Suys. Screaming,
writhing, sweaty, raw rock & roll - the way it was meant
to be played. Propulsive rhythms, punishing riffs and 12
new songs that grab you by the balls - NASHVILLE PUSSY is
putting the intensity and plain ol' kick-ass back into rock
& roll.
Taking their name from the intro to the DOUBLE
LIVE GONZO version of Ted Nugent's "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang,"
this foursome originally featured: Kentucky born singer/guitarist
Blaine Cartwright (formerly of 9 Pound Hammer) - lead guitarist
and Vancouver BC transplant, Ruyter Suys (pronounced Rider
Sighs) - fire breathing Amazon bassist and California native
Corey Parks and drummer, Austin, Texas transplant Jeremy
Thompson (a.k.a. "Remo"). With Parks' departure from the
band -Tracy Almazan (a.k.a. "Tracey Kick Ass") guitar player
in New York City's Helldorado and former drummer of The
Wives was recruited to provide The Pussy's thunderous bottom.
With bassist Almazan on board - NASHVILLE
PUSSY brought their singular brand of "southern discomfort"
rock & roll to a whole new legion of fans this past summer.
Providing THE rock & roll alternative on the Tattoo the
Earth Tour - playing to huge crowds with such artists as
Slipknot, Slayer and Sevendust, also playing selected dates
with the Misfits and the Dictators, and touring with ICP
and Suicidal Tendencies - as well as accepting an invitation
to open a special show for Lynyrd Skynyrd in Nashville,
TN - in 2000 - NASHVILLE PUSSY played to their most diverse
audiences to date.
Scheduling a few pit stops along the way -
NASHVILLE PUSSY recorded a gloriously "pussified," wickedly
tasty version of AC DC's "Highway to Hell" for the FREE
THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE benefit album. Recently recording
Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' With Disaster" (by request of
HBO's Mr Show for the upcoming movie RUN RONNIE RUN), as
well as tracks for two upcoming tribute compilations - "The
Kids Are Back" for the Twisted Sister Tribute - TWISTED
AND STRANGE and "Age of Pamparius" for the Turbonegro Tribute
- it seems like everybody wants some NASHVILLE PUSSY. Other
red hot performances? Singer Blaine Cartwright's acting
debut as Duke, a bad-ass motherfucker, in the movie RUN
RONNIE RUN. Blaine is featured kicking ass, stomping shit
and throwing punches - southern style - of course!
Since founding the band in 1996 - the husband
and wife guitar team of Cartwright and Suys pursued their
vision until it became reality. "We were sick of seeing
bands that sucked, so we decided to make the kind of band
that we wanted to see," says Suys. Straight off the blocks
- NASHVILLE PUSSY was positively infamous for their ferocious,
take-no-prisoners live shows - and immediately the most
talked about band in the country. NASHVILLE PUSSY was soon
the object of a heated bidding war between the majors and
band's debut LET THEM EAT PUSSY - originally released on
indie label - Amphetamine Reptile - was reissued on Mercury
- earning them a Grammy nomination and slot on the Marilyn
Manson tour.
ALWAYS performing like they're the last rock
& roll band on earth - touring non-stop since 1996 - NASHVILLE
PUSSY is the "hardest band working in show biz" today. Earning
them an army of rabid fans and followers - NASHVILLE PUSSY'S
live shows are beer-soaked, sweat-drenched spectacles of
decadent perfection. Explosive songs, bone-crunching rhythms,
heavy metal riffing and punk rock ethics combined with raw
sex appeal. Armed with Cartwright's highly memorable and
well-crafted songs - as well as Suys' undeniable shread-ablilty
on guitar and backed with the ultimate hard rockin' rhythm
section - this is a band that is ALWAYS at its peak.
Continuing to flagrantly disregard the conventions
of Middle America, NASHVILLE PUSSY has their own - not too
secret - agenda. "We want to wake people up and kick their
ass," Ruyter says. "We want to unbuckle the Bible belt and
suck God's dick."
