NASHVILLE PUSSY SIGN CONTRACT WITH SPV
NEW ALBUM GET SOME, RELEASE DATE: 26 Sept., 2005
Steamhammer/SPV proudly present their latest signing, Nashville Pussy! In our times marked by uniform, interchangeable music puppets, Nashville Pussy have burst onto the international rock scene like a colourful peacock. While countless bands appear happy with their attempts to feed their luke-warm standardized fare to the masses, this band`s wild rock´n`roll makes their listeners hungry for more. Nashville Pussy are considered the missing link between classic yob rock along the lines of Rose Tattoo or Motörhead and the snotty punk attitude of the likes of Antiseen or Turbonegro, the band consciously over-emphasizing in musical, lyrical and visual terms the “sex meets rock´n`roll” factor. September 26, 2005, will see the arrival of their latest album, Get Some, which was produced by Daniel Rey (Ramones, etc.) and mixed by Glen Robinson. Anybody not infected by the Nashville´n`roll virus after listening to this recording should have their hormone level seen to!
Nashville Pussy`s releases celebrate timeless US rock of the most radical variety: dirty, vulgar and very direct. The four-piece consists of a married couple, Blaine Cartwright (vocals, guitar) and Ruyter Suys (lead guitar), plus bassist Karen Exley (a.k.a. Cuda) and drummer Jeremy Thompson (a.k.a. Remo). Albums such as Let Them Eat Pussy, High As Hell or Say Something Nasty have caused an international stir, and their 1999 single release ´Fried Chicken An Coffee` even earned the band a Grammy nomination in the category ´Best Metal Performance`.
Nashville Pussy came together in 1996. “We were tired of seeing bands that were boring, all style and no soul. So we decided to play the kind of music that we would like to hear,” comments Ruyter Suys on the birth of her band. Ever since, Nashville Pussy have been performing a strenuous annual gig marathon, touring with acts like Slipknot, Slayer, Sevendust, Motörhead, Misfits, Dictators, Suicidal Tendencies or Lynyrd Skynyrd. A renowned American music magazine rightly referred to Nashville Pussy as „the hardest band working in show biz”. Following the release of their upcoming album, Get Some, featuring a cover version of Ike & Tina Turner`s ´Nutbush City Limits`, next to a dozen original compositions, the band are set to embark on an extensive tour, determined to document impressively what their audience has come to expect under the heading of ´spectacular stage show`.
