10 Years of Pussy!! WEST COAST TOUR

PUSSY POSSEEEEEEE!!!! Its Me! - Ruyter!! How the fuck are y'all? It has been forever since I have written in this Blahg.. Nashville Pussy has been having a blast - Touring the states hard with Valient Thorr was ridiculously fun and over the top rocking night after night. We got to hang out with some of our favorite fans across the Right half of the US, hitting ever swimming hole, pool and ocean we could find (including one late night ice filled kiddy pool - thanks Jason, Trey, Carrie, Stacy, Dolinger, and everyone else who did my hair, took us swimming, gave me lingerie and let us sleep in the best bed in the house!) - This Friday we get to take this traveling circus on the US Left Coast (Tour dates right here baby)  - with just a taste of Canada - just to make it interesting! We start in SanDeigo , Costa Mesa, Hollywood. SanJose, San Fran, Reno, Bend, Portland, Seattle, Whistler, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, Salt Lake City, Ft Collins, Denver, Albuquerque, Tempe, and the reward? Las Vegas!

  Blaine has just finished his US acoustic tour and is ready to turn it back up to 11 with Nashville Pussy again... Him and Nine Pound Hammer/Kentucky Bridgeburners Guitarist Earl Crim did some 'hard' road time with the hilarious women of BIRDCLOUD.. You gotta check these chicks out if you get a chance.

   We designed a kickass PETE YOU! shirt for the tour and so far sweet Pete hasn't asked us to stop..

 Blaine and I just LOVE ol Charlie Hustle and I am so happy to have this new shirt out there telling the world that we just think he's tops... and he belongs in the baseball hall of fame once Bud kicks off.. Yeah- I know a little bout this.. just a little though- Don't ask me any more baseball questions please. Despite the Phillies/Braves rivalry the fine folk at rush order tees still hooked us up sooooo last minute with this mega custom job and cheesesteaks were enjoyed by all!! Pete You!! shirts WILL be available on this tour. They came through big time and deserve the mention.
   TURKEY DAY approaches and we are headed to none other than one of America's most fine upstanding gentleman home in Bisbee Arizona.. That right folks- Nashville Pussy is having Thanksfuckingiving with infamous comedian Doug Stanhope. If we live through that night to play the first show - it'll be a miracle in itself. If you don't know who Doug Stanhope is - He is one of the most deplorable human beings I have ever had the opportunity to admire from a safe distance.. he's up there with the members of Dick Delicious and The Tasty Testicles - myself included. 

His 'comedy' is scathing and horrific and his own wikipedia page describes him as "America's Most Depraved Man" needless to say Turkey Day will be regrettable as usual but not for the regular familial reasons. Oh Lord I hope we pray before we eat!

(PS - East Coast in Feb and Europe In March!!!!!!!!!!)

Happy Bird-Day America!! (Us Canadians were thankful a month before y'all!)
Thanks anyways...

See y'all on the road!
Ruyter and all of us Nashville Pussies!

BLAINE'S ACOUSTIC TOUR

Blaine writes...

BLAINE'S ACOUSTIC TOUR 

For those of you who don't already know, I'm doing an acoustic tour opening for Birdcoud in October. The dates are posted below. That brings up to 2 important questions.

WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DOING AN ACOUSTIC TOUR?

I finally get to play these great songs I wrote in a situation where every brilliant, funny, dirty word can be heard loud and clear for the first time. I'll be playing favorites from both NASHVILLE PUSSY and NINE POUND HAMMER.

And I'll also have EARL CRIM from Nine Pound Hammer playing electric guitar with me. So it's not really all acoustic. At all.

We did several gigs like this back in January.

Believe me, we rock these songs up like fucking crazy. You'll dig the shit out of it, I promise.
Next Question!

WHO THE HELL IS BIRDCLOUD?

They are 2 very, very hot chicks that sing dirtier and sometimes funnier songs than I do!! No shit!
Just checkout their brilliant videos like Washing My Big Ole Pussy and Fuck You Cop on YouTube and you'll know why they're my favorite band.

ALSO, ONE OF THE GIRLS PLAYS HARMONICA INTO THE OTHER ONES PUSSY DURING THE SHOW!!!!!

There's also another band on the bill called MOUNTAIN SPROUT. They are real Arkansas hillbillies who play wild authentic bluegrass.

It's going to be a great show! Fucking great!

Blaine loves to smoke your weed!! NINE POUND PUSSY!!

WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?

Good question. Yes, I'm actually taking a newly acquired acoustic guitar and going on a tour singing some of the best songs I've ever written.

Why? Not sure yet. But it's going to be fucking fun!

I have Earl Crim sitting in and adding some tasty licks and rocking solos on his

 beat up telecaster every night.

We've been jamming for the last 3 days and came up with a great set list.  

See this tour if you can. 

It might not ever happen again. 

 


RARE PUSSY
 
 

Oh yeah! I'll also be carrying some rare Pussy stuff for sale that you'll only find at my 

shows on this tour.

I'll also be around to sign anything you want me too, shoot the shit, and smoke your weed. 

See you on the road! 

All the dates are on the NASHVILLE PUSSY Facebook page!

INSTANT PUSSY!! NEW PUSSY! Up The Dosage Euro Tour.2 and MORE Babblin' With Blaine

Well well well motherfuckers. The revolution is here and if tastes better than fried chicken coated in Cajun cornflakes!! As a matter of fact, that's what I'm having for lunch to celebrate!! I'm just glad I've lived long enough to see this day and to taste the hot sweet grease of victory!!

    For the last 30 years people have asked me over and over "how do I buy music straight from the band?". Until now, you couldn't. That's right, until NOW!! You can now get great UNRELEASED NASHVILLE PUSSY,  KENTUCKY BRIDGEBURNERS and more straight from us! Just click HERE to the INSTANT DOWNLOADS. Along with all of the classic Slinging Pig Records, we have 4 great new UNRELEASED MONSTERS!! Check this shit out!! They are all great!!

     NASHVILLE PUSSYLIVE AT NOTTINGHAM 2009

    This is a very good quality recording of an obviously inspired performance. It was the very last night of the European 2009 From Hell To Texas Tour we did with the Supersuckers. This recording even features Supersuckers guitarist Ron Heathman on our best ever version of Nutbush City Limits! The show was professionally recorded and we talked about releasing some songs from it, but it was put on the shelf. No kidding, that's where I just found it, on a shelf at Pussy Manor. I'm glad I did and you will be too. Play it loud! It's just like being there!! Maybe you actually were there - It was an amazing show and we're excited to offer it to y'all! 

INTRODUCING NASHVILLE PUSSY

A very cool compilation of covers from our early rare singles. NUFF SAID! 

KENTUCKY BRIDGEBURNERS 

"NO APPLAUSE IN ANTWERP"

    This mesmerizing 5 song live ep from The KENTUCKY BRIDGEBURNERS "No Applause In Antwerp" It was the last night of a long 7 week tour. We played rock n' roll songs about Jesus for a crowd that seemed to hate both. The world's greatest band, in front of the world's worst audience. There was probably a crowd of around 100. And in the words of our Lord "None were saved that day"! In the words of Charleston Heston "Damn them! Damn them all to Hell!" Judge for yourself. We were amazing! Ruyter even thinks we were better than Nashville Pussy at that point (at that point, not anymore) you decide...

LOST PUSSY TRACKS

  This LOST PUSSY collection starts with 2 unreleased tracks from the the 1998 Live at Rennes album. It also features 2 live tracks from the 2000 Tattoo The Earth US Tour, including the only authorized live recording of "Go To Hell". The remaining tracks come from early, extremely hard to find short run compilations. Great stuff!!!

   What is happening on the PIG you ask? ACDC VS. ZZ TOP on Slinging Pig Radio Hell Yeah! The battle of the millennium!! Go to  slingingpigradio.com/ on September 29-October 6 to witness it for yourself!!! The world's best station just got even better!

It also has the radio station slingingingpigradio.com I don't know shit about computers, but I know what's cool. And there will be plenty if cool shit on there. It's constantly being tweaked but there's plenty of cool shit to check out right now plus I'm adding stuff all the time, so check it regularly. I've finally realized that I'm never going to write that fucking book I always said I would. Instead I'm going to throw shit on this website. You 'll see!!!

A NEW DRUNKEN ROCK SHOW!! That's right! Episode 3 of the Drunken Rock Show is available for streaming on the home page of Slinging Pug Radio. These just keep getting better. I'm very proud of this one. As usual I let the music and alcohol do most of the talking. This time however, I replace the the vodka with some legal Denver weed, as I recorded the podcast live on tour in Colorado! The show has got an ever growing cult. A growing cult? Does that make me the new Charles Manson? Well, one can dream. Let me put it this way. The new podcast starts off with a song by LUCIFER'S FRIEND called RIDE THE SKY.

I FUCKING HATE COMMERCIALS I don't want to sound like those assholes over at PBS, but we have some cool packages for any and all you good rocking souls out there who want to contribute to Slinging Pig Radio. We have a commercial license for the radio station. But commercials are awful. Fucking awful. And I don't want to piss all over the euphoria that you feel when listening to Slinging Pig Radio by having some screaming jackass interrupt the rocking by trying to sell you a bunch of crap that you probably don't need. Car Insurance, yoghurt, diapers, phone plans, Christian dating services and spaghetti. I hate all that shit. Commercials are the worst and I'm not having any part of it. Not on our station! Also Slinging Pig Radio is a totally legal station. We do pay royalties on what's played. And I'm constantly purchasing new tunes to add to the rotation. So if any of you feel like joining me in this Holy Quest to keep rock alive, please check the home page of Slinging Pig Radio and check out the cool things you can get by donating. This radio station is great. I'm very proud of it. No Shit. Thank you for listening. UP THE DOSAGE 2014 TOUR DATES here! keep track with the Pussy APP! - It's FREE!!

PS - When life gives you lemons....

SUPERPUSSY TOUR!! - or PUSSY SUCKER? either way.. Hail Jesus!

HEY Y'ALL YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS!! In honor of the upcoming NASHVILLE PUSSY/SUPERSUCKERS TOUR, slingingpigradio is having a SUPERPUSSY month! And it's already started. YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS!!

We are not only playing tons and tons of tunes by both these great bands, but also some timeless inspirational rockers from our heroes and peers like Motorhead, Montrose, Danko Jones, Zeke, Thin Lizzy, ZZ Top, Gary Glitter, Link Wray, Black Sabbath. It's a literal "Who's Who Of Who's Great"!! It's the ultimate rock n' roll playlist and the best format we've had here yet at slingingpigradio.com. YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS!! So check it out. It's free!! HAIL JESUS!!!

We just received a box of the previously sold out cd THE KENTUCKY BRIDGEBURNERS HAIL JESUS!! Get one while you can at the Rare Shit Store at nashvillepussy.com And if you order one before May 19 I will personally autograph it. You can also buy them and other classic super rare Pussy memorabilia (singles, posters, CDs) at all the Nashville Pussy shows. Sorry if this sounds like a commercial, but I'm very, very proud of HAIL JESUS and I think everyone in the world should own a copy. WE NEED A FAVOR FROM OUR FANS

I'm going to turn it over to Ruyter to tell you about this. Take it baby--- "Hey everybody!! Vote for our niece Kalee's high school!! Kalee's is part of a "VANS team" where they design and paint VANS shoes. Her team has already won from this region. They are now trying to win the Southeast region for the country. It is based on public vote. If they win, they get $50,000 for their school's art program as well as a trip to New York. You can vote once from each IP address. We would appreciate any votes you can cast at ... it's like supporting the arts and 'Doing It For The Kids' Because everyody knows Nashville Pussy fans are connoisseurs of the arts in all forms - even sneakers. vans.com/customculture/vote Thanks!!!! Spread the word:) She goes to EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL!! in the SOUTHEAST Region Thanks Ruyter!

Seriously, my family has put up with my crude attention getting antics for years without once criticizing, complaining or casting judgement. So by getting our fans to vote on the vans is just a our small way to help pay back these good Kentucky folk. NO CUSSING!! And out of respect for my family, I haven't cussed once in this blog! Not once. I promise to return to being the love able foul mouth hillbilly on the next writing. BUT, for those who got the need to hear me curse sooner than that, you should listen episode 2 of THE DRUNKEN ROCK SHOW! It's available for streaming at Slinging Pig Radio and it's full of drinking, cussing and rocking. And in the immortal words of Bill Cosby "if you're not careful you just might learn something". Actually I had originally thought that I made that quote up. But as I just wrote those words I remembered that was the opening introduction each week for FAT ALBERT. That means it's time to get back to writing some Hammer tunes. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK KIDS!!! Blaine Cartwright PS Dont forget to go to Facebook and DIG THE PIG!!

Hey Y'all!! Nine Pound Hammer teaser, UP THE DOSAGE Tour USA!!, The PIG!!

HEY Y'ALL Check all this shit out. HAMMER RECORD And it begins! We've started rehearsing new Nine Pound Hammer songs for the new record. Don't believe me? Well suck on this!! Here's a link to a short video showing me and Rob jamming to a new classic cowpunk ditty. Just click this: Hammer Teaser

We'll be entering Nitrosonic, the world's coolest studio, in early May. Well-wishers can send all flowers, cards, candy, album title suggestions, cover requests, hookers, hot sauce, and buckets of chicken to the address on the Nitrisonic website. And speaking of chicken!! DID YOU SEE THAT BADASS VINTAGE 1979 FENDER AMP I'M PLAYING IN THE VIDEO?!! Well, right now it's mine but it could be yours. After our preproduction it's going on eBay, here's the link. Blaine's Badass Vintage '79 Fender It's a great amp and it's served both bands well. But I've become a bit of a music equipment hoarder. And I'd rather have someone else using it than than keep bumping into it while I'm rocking out in our practice space. And for you Hammer fanatics, it officially had the first notes of the new Hammer record on it. If you decide to buy it you can rest easy knowing that a generous portion of the proceeds will go to my favorite charity "Chicken For Me". "Chicken For Me" is about people from all walks of life coming together to buy me chicken. It's beautiful. THE PIG IS GETTING FATTER We just added several thousand songs to the repertoire here at Slinging Pig Radio. And the PIG's belly is about to burst! And he loves it! Right now there's a little more varied format and both the listeners and critics are raving. You might here Black Sabbath then Link Wray then Clutch then Bo Diddley then The Sex Pistols then Hank III then some old r&b then some classic country. Oh, and lots of Humble Pie! It's all great and it's all FREE!! Just go to slingingpigradio.com Go there. Stay there. And never leave.

THE DRUNKEN ROCK SHOW IS THE "BREAKING BAD" OF PODCASTS I really don't know which is lamer, having a podcast or a blog. Now I have both. Even the words "blog" and "podcast" reek of impending boredom. Most podcasts are done by wanna be comedians to an imaginary audience. But THE DRUNKEN ROCK SHOW is about celebrating the time tested teaming of a little alcohol and a lot of great music. I'm calling it the Breaking Bad of podcasts because it's all I'm going to talk about for a while and if you haven't listened to it and we run into each other I will yell at you about it. I guarantee that you will always hear some cool tunes that you haven't heard before-- AND IT'S FUCKING FREE!! Just go to slingingpigradio.com where it can be streamed and downloaded. That's it until I feel the urge to write again. But remember one thing UP THE DOSAGE IS AMAZING!!! Everyone thinks so and you will too.
