Rambling with Ruyter!

Europe Kicked ASS!! LEMMY=LAZY JESUS!! Time to hit the pool!! NEW MUSIC NEW TOUR!!

2011-04-27T10:03:00.000-07:00

Hello Pussy Possee!! Life has been a whirlwind as usual! A wonderful crazy sonic. whirlwind.
Me and Blaine JUST got out of Nitrosonic Studios in Lexington KY where we recorded his latest band's debut album. The Kentucky Bridgeburners - 'HAIL JESUS'.
It's a GOSPEL album..all about Jesus. And damn good if I may say so myself. I was on the bench for most of it but got to play guitar on a couple tracks, MOOG on one and Rhodes on another as well as add my slavewoman having her baby taken away from her - vocals on a few...It also features Earl Crim and Rob Hulsman from Nine Pound Hammer and Todd Gorrell kicking ass on bass. We had a blast and turned it around in 6 days! On the 7th day we rested...and decided track order. We'll be putting it out on our own Slinging Pig Label and it'll be available from the website exclusively and at gigs.

In case you missed it this past Euro tour was one of our best yet and soon we'll have a LIVE disc for y'all to prove it. While in KY one of my jobs was to go through all the live recordings our sound guy Mark did for an upcoming bonus on our re release of FROM HELL TO TEXAS.
We have re-mixed FROM HELL TO TEXAS...it sounds amazing. And LEMMY sings on LAZY JESUS!!! That's right- he sings the voice of GOD!!
Both'll be out this summer and they sound fanfuckingtastic!

So here's a shitload of pictures...

Dick Delicious and The Tasty Testicles Explode!! NASHVILLE EUROEURO PUSSY!!

2011-02-09T10:48:00.000-08:00

Hey Y'all! Short Blog today..

The NASHVILLE PUSSY Euro tour is going gangbusters, the weather has been exceptional so far. The crowds have been great and the cheese is even better!

While we've been out here slugging it out- DICK DELICIOUS and THE TASTY TESTICLES are exploding all over youtube with their first video 'I WANNA KILL THE BLACK EYED PEAS' - for those of you who don't know, I had the honour of playing on the new album 'A VULGAR DISPLAY OF OBSCURITY'. And they decided to let this single drop right in time for the Superbowl, when Black Eyed Pea hatred would be at it's peak (but I hear it's growing)

Check out the video, it even got picked up by the NRA website... next stop Sarah Palin!

The new album features guest appearances from Blaine Cartwright and Ruyter Suys from Nashville Pussy, Brent Hinds, Troy Sanders and Bill from Mastodon, and Kevin Sharp from Brutal Truth!

Ruyter

War Is Hell! I'm back from NAMM and off to Europe so let's Party! ATL Pussy Style!!

2011-01-24T08:28:00.000-08:00

Hello Pussy Posse! We are sick of the fucking cold and we need to party! Atlanta needs a good old NASHVILLE PUSSY style party - with all our friends - so we invited some of our favourite local bands to perform at our FIRST annual event.
It's a Southern Rock Ho-down - BUT - This ain't your daddy's southern rock....but he can come too. It's NASHVILLE PUSSY Headlining, BIGFOOT (ex Artimus Pyledriver ex - Evils) and Stone Mountain Freeway (ex Artimus Pyledriver) and Six Shot Revival - who we just saw for the first time at the Clairmont last thursday and they kick ass.
It'll be a let your hair down get sweaty and get laid kinda night. This Thursday Jan 27th at the Masquerade! Be there!

It's our last blow out before we go to Europe for a month so come see us off in style! Dates right here.. http://www.nashvillepussy.com/shows

I went to the Lemmy Movie Primiere in LA with Corey Parks. Lemmy sat right between us two old pussies. Corey Parks and I did the Red Carpet like old times and promoted our new project together - the NASHVILLE PUSSY LIVE IN RENNES CD from back in '98 when Corey was still in the band. The New Rennes Live cd available ONLY here http://nashvillepussy.com/store?id=486

Steve Vai on Lemmy's Red Carpet

Pretty fucking good movie but it could use more footage of Nashville Pussy!! How can you go wrong with a subject like LEMMY- Lemmy is God. The Rainbow was lit up that night. I whiskeyd with Lem's son Paul, Sean Yseult and Chris Lee of Supagroup and even managed to get away from Phil Campbell before things got out of hand.

Ruyter Suys, Chris Lee and Sean Yseult

Ruyter Suys, Phil Campbell - and his awesome ride

We finally finished tracking and mixing of the latest Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles album which I play and sing on along with Blaine and members of Mastodon and Brutal Truth. This New Album is INCREDIBLE - our first listening party produced a nosebleed!

Not only does it ROCK - it's fucking HILARIOUS!Justin Walden with special cupcakes, Ruyter with champagne, Jay Quinlan and Scott Waldrop with celebratory Bud Light

NAMM - was pretty incredible. Like Guitar Centre on Steroids.. Out of 80,000 visitors I managed to make a spectacle of myself as usual - I could not resist climbing up on that beautiful wall of Marshalls and getting a few pictures taken. Sorry to distract from the Mick Mars signing.... Within a few days I got an Email from Mr. Paul Marshall himself saying he'd love to see the photo with a 'lady' with Marshalls for a change from some sweaty arsed man.

Paul Marshall called me a LADY!!!

Yes, I'm STACKED!
Our good friend Michael from Fender is hooking me up with this Wayne Kramer MC5 Strat!! Gibson of course was awesome- Brenden Small of Metalocalypse was showing off his new Explorer- might have to get one of them too..

I hung with our producer Justin Z Walden (Korn, Sevendust, Guns and Roses, Dick D), Derek from the B-Movie Rats/Angus Kahn and Jay (aka Dick D.) from Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles and even wore a Dick Delicious dress that read 'I Was Voted Most Likely to Have Sex With A Goat While Worshipping Satan On Heroin'. Besides fiddling with all the newest toys I got stopped to take a lot of pictures and sign autographs. I was like Ron Jeremy at the AVN's; basically a kid in a candy store! We even met Rupert Neve!

Mr. Rupert Neve and Justin Walden getting some direct magicc
We thanked him for making us sound so good. I wandered with our old A&R guy Tom Zutaut, said hey to Megadeth, Mastodon, HellYeah, and a pack of rockers... Hung out with the guys from SLAYER, sweet Dimebags Hag Rita was in charge of doling out shots.....whoopsy...so I'm not gonna say WE got kicked out of NAMM but...

Kathyrn and Jeff Hanneman, Ruyter Suys

Kerry King says 'hello'
.....things got messy - our buddy was 'escorted with extreme prejudice' from the backstage of Dave Lombardo's signing after he (let's just call him 'Peter the Dickass') got so drunk he couldn't stand and fell right on top of Carmine Appice - at least he picked one of the best drummers in the world to wipe out on then roll on the floor past the curtain and pretty much straight out the door. After our graceful exit we drank into the wee hours with an endless open bar at the EMG party. Slayer's Dave Lombardo sang us all into submission with his rendering of 'We Are The Champions' accompanied on Grand Piano no less...fucking class motherfuckers. I cannot believe we are professional musicians sometimes.. well all the time actually. Thank you EMG - that rocked!
So yeah- NAMM was kinda great. War ain't hell-it just sounds that way.

(Thanks again Chad Lee for letting me steal photos and Samoan Joe and BL Dave for guarding our 'bodies')

see y'all down the road!

SUPERPUSSY! EUROPE! And finally a NASHVILLE PUSSY LIVE cd!

2010-12-06T11:25:00.000-08:00

Hey Pussy Posse! How the hell are y'all? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! LIFE IS RAD!

If you've been on Facebook or were lucky enough to actually be there - you already know the tour of CANADA was fucking crazy. Our Karen had a family emergency to attend to. Her step mom passed away and Karen had to leave the tour abruptly. We enlisted the services of none other than Mr. EDDIE SPAGHETTI of the SUPERSUCKERS to fill Karen's sexy shoes. Needless to say- it fucking rocked. Eddie stepped up and had a blast playing on the sideline for a change and got to show off some sexy moves that only work when you're the newest PUSSY. We even learned 'COATTAIL RUYTER' to make Eddie work even harder..

Halloween in Calgary was completely fucking retarted. Of course we did it up like we always do... Blaine was the Frito Bandito, Jeremy was Mr. T and I had to go as our local prodigal son Michael Vick. Eddie is new to the extreme Halloween PUSSY STYLE but wound up putting on a pretty good Zombieish thing. We recorded the show - so MAYBE it'll be good enough for human consumption one day. It was a blast- but not so easy to play with shoulder pads I gotta say. Our roadie Bobby went as a Gay Freddy Krueger

Sweet Edward Spagedward had to vacate the Pussy for his own solo tour so we had to enlist yet another Bassist of superior calibre - none other than ZEKE's own Jason Freeman who did and amazing 'FUCK YOU' solo Every night with his middle fingers! Jason kicked ass and was great to travel and party with.

At long last we rejoined with the lovely Karen for the last two shows and even got guest singer Erica Brown on NUTBUSH for our final show of the tour in Denver! She kicked it up a notch - what a blast.
Since we came home - Blaine and I have been insanely busy. We have a few other studio projects that have kept us recording for the last couple of weeks.
We started a record label. SLINGING PIG - our first release is being shipped out to fans right now. We found an old NASHVILLE PUSSY bootleg from 1998 'LIVE IN RENNES' and was blown away by the quality. It is a ferocious performance and exceptional recording of a really early show. NASHVILLE PUSSY'S first tour of Europe I believe. We played this Festival in Rennes and just destroyed the audience for Pere Ubu who came on after us. We are doing this on a super low level - it is a DIY as FUCK fan only release. It ain't in stores, it ain't on iTunes. It's website only! The pre-orders have been shipped out and now we're taking regular orders. If you dig the pussy - you'll fucking flip on this! No Shit - I couldn't be more impressed with our own performance and you know how much I hate listening to myself-I could play this over and over and over again. Jeremy and I are on complete MINDMELD and play off eachother so tight it's like we're twins speaking our own language with volmue. Corey is holding down the bottom and Blaine is on fucking fire - he's like the ring leader of a three ring circus. It sounds like we are trying to kill the audience (not much has changed). Anyways- get it while it lasts. It's a limited pressing..

Get it here! http://www.nashvillepussy.com/store (scroll to the bottom of the page)

Hell it's Christmas - get it for yourself this 'cause I know no one got enough PUSSY FOR CHRISTMAS!

We have new Euro dates announced on the website and yes, we are finally playing Atlanta! http://www.nashvillepussy.com/shows

See y'all down the road!

rrrrrruyter!

VOIVILLE CONQUERS!!

2010-08-16T11:47:00.000-07:00

(Snake, the LOUD PIXELS guy who filmed the LONDON Show and ME)

Hey Y'all! What A Helluva Fucking Tour. Short but oh so sweet. My Brain is still swirling with all the fun we had. NASHVILLE PUSSY was crammed in a styling double decker bus with VOIVOD. We started the tour just outside of Geneva Switzerland at the Guitare En Scene Festival in St. Julen France. We made the sun set with our music. Then once it was good and dark, Motorhead played. Our hotel was full of all the guests of the 3 day festival so we got to hang out with Bernie Marsden from Whitesnake who had enough stories to entertain us for the two days we lounged at the pool. I got to meet Al Dimeloa!!! WOW- last time I saw him play was when I was 14 and he played with John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia. Steve Morse opened up on accoustic. It was a guitar Geeks dream as was this festival. Johnny Gallagher and Joe Bonamassa headlined the first night Some cool photos here http://www.guitare-en-scene.com/ oh, and Chris the Wine guy turned up with more of his fabulous wine from our Vineyard in Bordeaux.
Above is a picture of what I did with Phil Campbell's rider.

Blaine and spent some time in Nijmegen, The Netherlands- where my boobs and hair come from..
On our time off I got to see SLAYER in my father's hometown of TILBURG - and here's the proof (look for the fuzzy head in the background watching Dave Lombardo)
We met up with the VOIVODS in the UK. I swear this tour was designed for my own personal enjoyment. I was totally in love with these guys in high school so this was a dream come true getting to watch them every night then drink whiskey with them all night long on the bus, glorious.
Dan (Chewie) and I share the same mother..Dee Snider
It was Snake's birthday on the first day so we celebrated every night, just to make sure. By the time we got to London I finally got up the nerve to sing the high part on Astronomy Dominae and did it again the next day in Holland as well. I've wanted to do that ever since I first heard their version. http://sonicshocks.com/VOIVOD-and-NASHVILLE-PUSSY-live.php We played the BULLDOG BASH in Stratford On Avon - yes indeed- the home of the Great Willie the Shake AND about 20,000 Bikers- needless to say they flew a few flags...

We took the beautiful ferry ride from Dover to Calais - here's Me and Anika (VoivodTM) and Away and Snake topside.

OK - here's a joke 3 Americans, 2 Canucks, 4 Quebequois, One Brit, One Scottsman and a Dutch girl all get into a beautiful tour bus - and here's the punchline.... instant hillbilly bus!

THIS MESS IS A PLACE

The final show we headlined was the Rock Den Lukas fest in Darmstedt, Germany- what a great night- Sad though because we had already said goodbye to the VOIVODS the night before and that was the night I had to kiss Blaine goodbye long enough to last until OCTOBER 5TH! Nashville Pussy flew home but Blaine stayed behind to get prepared for the big and Final - NINE POUND HAMMER TOUR!!

Here's my favourite place on the bus - Riding With The Driver - good Motorhead song too.. Thanks GONDOR! Our awesome driver.

I am very proud to announce the new NINE POUND HAMMER album is finally for finished and sale. It kicks ASS! -until the actual record deal is finished the only place to get it is right here! We have a Limited Edition Promotional pressing that is for sale internationally by preorder right now right here http://www.nashvillepussy.com/discography?id=1736. Unofficial shipping date is the 25th of August if all goes well with the pressing plant. but we might be able to get them out to you even faster- ORDER YOURS TODAY!! (here's a little Nashville Pussy secret..

Not only are almost all the Hammer Songs written by Blaine, I managed to sneak some kinda performance onto almost all tracks..) All HAMMER/ PUSSY/ Blaine & Ruyter Fans need this disc. The new CD will also be for sale at the NINE POUND HAMMER EUROPEAN TOUR starting next week. The dates are here http://www.teenageheadmusic.com/

NASHVILLE PUSSY hits CANADA next so stay posted on facebook and twitter for updates!

Rock on y'all!!
See you down the road

HELLO AMERICA! It's been a while! Happy 4th of JULY!

2010-06-04T17:08:00.000-07:00

GO US!!

HelloH Pussy Posse! GODDAMM! We just got off two solid months of the Good Old USofA! We had us a little opportunity to get back in touch with some of the people who made us what we are. These past few months took us to some of the towns we've neglected in the past few years as well as a chance to hook up with friends and fans in practically every corner of America.

It's been so long since the tour began it's hard to think about what went down. Hell, we met some dude in Dallas near the beg. of the tour then saw him about a week ago and his hair had grown about 2 inches!!
We played the motherfucking rock boat in NY! This time, it was really good, last time it was kinda disorganized (not the kind of thing you want to have happen on a boat!) This time we got to see the Statue of Liberty up close for the FIRST TIME! (it's only ever been four inches high in the past) We got to party with the fabulous Whitney Ward (she shot our first album cover) and Bambi!We've been partying with them for near on 15 years and it was wonderful to spend the wee hours with them again.

It was opening day when we played Cinncinatti- We're kinda baseball fans... it was sold out but Blaine and I got to sneak in somehow and watch the last few innings. Here's a picture AT 4:20!

Honestly the whole tour was such a blur I can't even focus. Our bandmates on this tour Green Jelly (o) and Psychostick were super cool and funny and thank god cause this was lasted SOOO long if they were assholes there would have been fisticuffs! Instead most of us would up pairing off in some way and imbibing in our own proclivities shall we say.

If y'all were following us on Twitter - you rode along on the whole tour. If you wanna join and get our late night drunken texts we're bashfullpuppy http://twitter.com/BashfulPuppy

here's some cool shots from the tour..

OAKLAND A's!! (Bring back the Mustache Gang)

Classic Texas Bar B Que

Geneva On The Lake (Jimi Hendrix, The James Gang, Nashville Pussy, James Brown and The Temptations played here..)

Hotdog man and..

EuroAustralia Ride the Whirlwind!

2010-03-15T22:47:00.000-07:00

WOW! What a month - and it has flown by. We have only been home a few days and we go back out within a week!

We had an absolute blast in London and Europe AND Australia- it already seems like forever ago we started off in London. What visit to the Uk is complete with out the ultimate British Breakfast! Fry it all please, bread too. It helps with jetlag, honest. We met our openers, Supercharger from Denmark, as they arrived, one by one- during their own set at the Underworld. Gotta give them credit for pulling off the gig missing half the band, then continuing while the remaining members raced across London and joined them on stage for the last few sogns. Way to start the tour boys. Supercharger continued to rock the house every night and we look forward to sharing the stage with them again. As quickly as we arrived we were off and on the ferry from Dover to Calais and back to the continent.

We started off Europe in Holland (I think) and drove back and forth on the same highway from Holland to Germany to Belgium to Germany to Holland etc etc. Hooked up with a bunch of old buddies, the guys from Peter Pan Speedrock came out to party along with a pack of good friends form tours past. Our houses were packed night after night. Great crowds pretty much everywhere. One day in Colmar we pulled up into what seemed to be a full on Gypsy campground, nothing but caravans, Bad Snatch imitations continued all day. We weren't in the club more that 10 minutes when we got downright swarmed by these gypsy children. It was kinda freaky, they were all excited jumping around and turning cartwheels while some of the more cynical of us took a step back with our hands on our wallets. It was kinda creepy. I i swear the 8 yr old boy was trying to break into the bus when we weren't looking, it was pretty depressing, luckily we got away unscathed- I hope those kids get a chance to get out of their situation. Colmar used a photo of Karen for a HUGE poster.

We had a ball that day wandering around the crazy streets of the old town. Each house looks like the 7 dwarves are gonna pop out. I can't believe it took me 3 trips here to finally see what I bought on a postcard the first time through.
We hit crazy snow in Germany, I had to run out barefoot one morning to retrieve my Whisky - a certain fan made off with (and left it by his car while he slept) that was the first quote of the tour "STOP THE BUS! I'M GETTING MY WHISKY BACK!!" that quote was replaced later by 'I seee you gypsy'. Crazy snow continued through Switzerland, But did not stop the crowds. We had to say goodbye to Supercharger after the gig at the Bikini in Switzerland. They had to drive home so couldn't even have a last drink with us, well they had a few... we had a few more for them after they left.

So Blaine's bad tooth finally reared it's ugly head and we had to go to the dentist in Italy. Of course the dentist was Italian and therefore damn cool, wore like 1000 dollar glasses and put Blaine on antibiotics. He couldn't pull the tooth because of the infection and also because the painkillers they had were 'no so good'. Blaine was slightly relieved cause they didn't pull it but couldn't drink for the rest of the tour. He finally got it pulled in France and was like a changed man, he was jumping around on stage like a freed convict.

Check out this awesome Italian fan Tattoo of Blaine's Lyrics from Hell To Texas - He Did it himself! Talent and taste!

The final shows in France were off the hook- packed houses and some of the loudest audiences we've ever encountered. We signed autographs every night until they locked the doors and kicked everyone out.
We met up with Chris the wine guy and he presented us with some fabulous wine from our vineyards at Chateau Nashville Pussy including a 17 year anniversary wine for Blaine and myself! Very cool! Of course French Pussy Time came out and we had a nice albeit short visit. We had to fly the next morning which means extra time spent trying to cram all that booze into our suitcases! We got caught in Le Hurricaine and our flight was delayed by 24 hours- it was pretty bad for the day we spent in Charles De Gaulle getting herded from one place to the next , not knowing if we'd make it home in time to fly to Australia. but at long last we did managed to get on a flight with 12 hours to spare we were back in the air and off to the other side of the globe!
What a plesant change from the winter we'd been experiencing- Australian winter!! Wow - the most beautiful day met us as soon as we set down in Sydney Australia! we met up with our old buddy Dave Batty. Dave and Jeremy took up where they left off years back- with their ongoing competition of Knifey Spoony! it's still a draw- we'll have to go back for a rematch!

OK, Australian Breakfast is very much like a British breakfast...

In Sydney we ate a famous TIGER PIE- a meat pie in a delicious crust covered in mashed potatoes, mushy peas and gravy! Yum! Now two Kentucky icons have eaten there. The Col. Sanders and Blaine!

Our favorite show was GOLDEN PLAINS - there had been insane weather and tons of rain/hail so we didn't know what to expect at an outdoor festival in Merideth. Little did we know we'd wind up rocking out with 10,000 Aussies - holding their Wellies in the air! We heard if they didn't like us they'd throw the gumboots at us - so I guess we passed the test. It was Blaine's birthday and it was well spent, with a few of our new friends...

We wound up back at the old Cherry Bar run by Billy from the Cosmic Psychos off AC/DC lane til the wee hours. And had a blast across the whole country. And yes, we finally got to hold a KOLALA!!!
Now we just have to go to PERTH!

We are back on the road for the next two months- can us if you can, we'll be pretty much everywhere in America! We'll be back to Europe for summer festivals so USA here we come!

HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR!!

2010-01-06T18:00:00.000-08:00

HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR!!

Hello Pussy Posse - Happy Mother and Father Fucking 2010! Hell Yeah! I can't wait- this year is gonna be a ball. So Far So Good. Last December for Xmas I had an early surprise in my stocking, I got a text from our old merchandise guy that I am in PLAYBOY! Nice of Playboy to tell me beforehand.. anyways, save your hard earned cash here's the picture

Our New Years show was really swell. We haven't seen each other in a while so it was good to get messy with the band and man did it get messy! I think we're still cleaning up from the after party... or at least still finding weird clothes around the house!
We are only home for few weeks before we head to Denver for a one off party at Three Kings - for those of you who had to work the last Halloween show - now's your chance to come and party with us. Then we're off to Europe for Febuary - should be nice and warm right?
Blaine and I are cleaning out the basement- we are finding all sorts of cool shit/merchandise and are slowly making everything available to the fans through our website - Most of the stuff we can't sell on the road because they will get destroyed in transport; Old Promotional Posters, A Cassette! Our Say Something Nasty Picture disc, the newest Nashville Pussy IN LUST WE TRUST beltbuckle, the Military Patch, some cool Nine Pound Hammer Cd's, Keychains, Tote Bags, guitar picks and more as we slowly dig our way through the basement. I don't have a proper way to show you all this so I'm gonna stick a bunch of photos right here for y'all to check out.

While we are home we can offer the rare opportunity to get your merchandise AUTOGRAPHED and even Personalized by me and Blaine. So if you have always wanted a NASHVILLE PUSSY Tote Bag for your laundry or records - but wanted one that read 'To BOB- the best fuck in Dallas, Love Ruyter and Blaine - NOW is the time. We never get to offer anything like this directly to the fans (because we're never home) so take advantage while we are still in Atlanta.
Fuck the jackass on ebay selling autographed drum heads for 125 bucks - this money goes directly to the band and keeps us on the road. (ps a couple of autographed drum heads coming soon..) Besides - the Autograph is FREE! You don't have to hang out at the backstage door in the cold just in case we actually LEAVE the bar before your ride leaves.

You can't get any of this shit anywhere but here.
http://www.nashvillepussy.com/page:rare_shit_for_sale

Thanks! See y'all down the road
Ruyter and Nashville Pussy

HALLOWFuckinEEEN!!

2009-11-16T19:28:00.000-08:00

HELL YEAH, WE DID IT AGAIN.. THIS IS RIGHT BEFORE WE HIT THE STAGE

WHOLLY SHIT! WHAT A FUCKING PARTY! This may have been our best Halloween so far. Short story, we Rocked Denver and had a ball! The city itself warmed up for our arrival.

Long story - If you're on Twitter you'll know already I had the most entertaining flight of my life cause the guy sitting next to me was none other than Smokin Joe Kelly; (he's the Honky here) The guitarist for none other than Ike and Tina Turner. Was he ever floored to find out not only had the chick he got sat next to had;
A) heard him play on record (we have everything they ever did and tons of bootlegs)
B) plays Lead Guitar (his part)
C) we recorded and play Nutbush City Limits EVERYNIGHT!
D) Blaine and I recorded River Deep Mountain High (also Ike and Tina) with Miss Georgia Peach.

(you can see her butthole!)
(big Icky's butthole, not REAL Icky)

gak gak! Dr. Rockso's gonna get yer g-g-g-gak David...

But wait, there's more....

(I was banned on music television cause you can see my junk through my jumpsuit!)

AND to top it off one one of our many tours hightailing it home and hitting all our favorite eateries, we were driving outside Memphis to go to Gus's Famous Fried Chicken and as we drove right near Nutbush we lived out the Lyrics that Tina wrote about her home town. The Lyrics (which we sing EVERY SINGLE NIGHT) are
'45 IS THE SPEED LIMIT,YOU BETTER WATCH OUT FOR THE PO-LICE' and sure enough, racing to get chicken we get pulled over. I don't know why we thought they'd let us go when we told them "We're goin to Gus's" but it seemed like a good reason.

Anyways I spent the whole flight asking him for secret dirt on Ike and what he was like (Smokin Joe continued to play with him for years after Tina split) The big break up (he was there that night), how hard Ike rocked, how much crack was actually smoked, and of course the movie. We even had Wifi on the flight so we looked him up (he was the first white guy on Soul Train). Saw him getting his groove on back in the day, learning how to NOT dance like a young white kid from Conneticut.
Before I knew it we were landing. Needless to say, I heard some great tales and can't wait to get some more out of him next time we see him. He has a sweet hotel gig in Aspen right now otherwise he would have sat in playing Nutbush that night in Denver.

Do me a favour and sign up for Twitter (we're Bashfulpuppy) we've got some cool shit coming up and wanna invite as many Nashville Pussy fans as possible to participate. and plus you get the inside scoop on all the drunk crap we think is tweetworthy at 4am.

and even more...

So yeah, HALLOWEEN!! Kicked more ASS than ever!! There were some pretty full on costumes. Check out Dr. Rockso and Gene Simmons and yes, that dude is dressed as a Zombie Blaine. If you can't tell who we are this time. I'll give you some hints.
see ya down the road

I hear it's someone's b-b-b-birthday on the 5th of November! Oh yeah, it was m-m-m-mine!! So much fun I have to do it again this weekend (so I can find out what happened to those hours I lost) Blaine got me the new ACDC rarities box set that comes in a Mini Marshall Stack (that really works!!)

I spent my birthday at the MASTODON/METALOCALYPSE show in Atlanta. Blaine got me flowers and FIVE kinds of chocolate cake and THREE kinds of chocolate ice cream and a bottle of Bulleit my favorite Burbon.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS AT THE END OF THE NIGHT - FAR FROM THE STAGE!!

MOTORHEAD ROCKS! And don't miss HALLOWEEN!

2009-10-26T22:08:00.000-07:00

Hello Pussy Posse!! We are home after one of the best tours we have ever embarked upon! what a fucking blast. I hope the ringing in my ears never goes away. This whole tour was invigorating. We're all going through withdrawls I think, I know I am.
Since my last Blog we played AUSTIN which was fantastic. Stubb's rules and we got to watch the bats do their nightly exodus from under the bridge. WOW! Like 45 solid minutes of Bats flitting out to wreak havock on the night bugs. Plus it was our buddy's Christina's birthday so we all wound up at her house to get smashed, literally - Our Buddy Billy (who's got no legs) somehow managed to bust a Lamp cover 10 feet off the ground. Kudos Billy. All of Texas was off the hook.
Canada was extra incredible. Friendly border crossings, perfect weather and a shitload of fans and friends and even a bunch of my cousins came out. I even got to reintroduce my parents to Lemmy in Vancouver. My father bears a striking resemblance to Lemmy's tech Tim. (I don't know who to feel more sorry for.) My old boyfriend who first turned me onto Motorhead got on my list in Seattle and we had the pleasure of sitting in Lemmy's court for an hour of drunken puns and historical references. I was wearing his Motorhead shirt when I was introduced to Blaine (who was also wearing his Motorhead shirt) otherwise, good chance none of this would have happened...
Blaine had the honour of introducing Jello Biafra to Mr. Lemmy Kilmister in San Francisco. Jello's 'friend' kept pestering Lem about if he was into D and D and 'gaming' and when Lem said 'No, definitely not' Jello said, in that voice of his, "So ends the Age Old Rumor of Lemmy Kilmister playing D and D".

The imfamous Tenacious D made it out to the Los Angeles show. Jack Black Showed off his new foam rubber 'guns' as he took the stage as roadie Eddie Riggs -a video game character he's promoting, to the point of hijacking the stage in between acts at the Motorhead show. Lemmy's son Paul even joined Motorhead onstage for Overkill. Backstage in LA was mayhem, Motorhead gave out 300 backstage passes so the place crawled with rock stars and security.

We got to hang with our Kentucky kin Earl Brown from Deadwood. He was also the retarted brother in Something About Mary.. you remember.. 'Franks and Beans!' but best of all he played MEATLOAF in the biopic. One of our old bass players, Corey, was in the opening band in LA and Blaine joined them on stage to do a cover of 'Mississippi Queen'. Lemmy gave him a '10 out of 10!' (Blaine wrote the words on his hands just in case...)

Whitey, Iggy Pop's crazy guitarist was there AND Phil Campbell introduced me to Carmine Appice from Cactus and Vanilla Fudge and Jeff Beck! WoW!

The last show in Vegas proved to be a slight letdown. Motorhead had to cancel because Lem's voice was shot to hell. Probably all 300 backstagers wanting to chat him up the night before! Regardless we still played to the packed house that turned up. Then in fine Las Vegas fashion we partied at Frank's Tiki Room until the sun was well up into the sky. ugh!

We went to ACDC as a nice reward for a tour well done, as usual they are stellar. Always raising the bar of energy and the blues.
We have only one show booked!! DENVER for Halloween! We have a tendancy to dress up so if you wanna join us for one helluva blow out, this one will be worth flying in for. It's at the Bluebird and will be our last show in North America for quite some time. Come out and dress up!
See y'all down the road

Canadian MOTORHEAD!! Mikkey Dee is back!

2009-09-30T10:45:00.000-07:00

Hey Y'all - if you've been lucky enough to get a ticket - these Motorhead Rev Horton Heat Nashville Pussy gigs have been some of the best shows we've played ever. What a fucking blast! Every night packed to the rafters and every night loud as fuck. It's been so much fun. After Mikkey split to do his reality show Matt Sorum came and whipped everyone into shape. Turns out he's a helluva cool dude - and looks good too!
Motorhead actually had to practice! But an what a show- everyone was sad to see him go.

But the return of the almighty Mikkey Dee fresh from the jungles of Malaysia has reminded everyone what a amazing drummer he really is. I think it's been good for Motorhead too. They're playing better than ever and you could tell it was good to have Mikkey back. Even though Phil had made up black armbands that read 'MISS YOU MATT' and wore them on stage you could tell he loved having Mikkey Back too!

We're just starting to get jungle stories out of Mikkey, yes he had to eat some bugs- some serious bugs. He said a 5 inch black beetle, and one of those huge bugs with a horn on it's head.. doesn't sound too delicious. I guess he came in third in the competition- which is pretty good. Didn't win but gave him a whole new perspective on life and rocking and rolling. You could tell how badly he needed to hit those drums as soon as he sat down.

The Reverend Pussy Motor Tour!!

2009-09-16T13:19:00.000-07:00

HELL YEAH!! Hello Pussy Posse!! We are currently in our own form of Rehab, ie taking a break from the Motorhead/Reverend Horton Heat tour- As NASHVILLE PUSSY was officially uninvited to play Disney's House Of Blues (even though we've already played there)
We decided to take the One show in five days as a vacation and come back to Atlanta while the tour plays on in Florida. We start driving again tomorrow to get to TEXAS where the tour picks back up in Houston, Dallas and Austin... etc etc.
The Global Warming Tour (as Motorhead calls it) is going Fanfuckintastically. Meeting up with Motorhead after 9 years since your last real tour with them was like slipping into an old pair of sneakers; comfortable, makes you feel good and slightly smelly.

The big news was Mikkey Dee was leaving the tour to do his reality show and was to be replaced by Matt Sorum. We got to hang with Mikkey and watch him kick extra ass (as Matt was watching) and when Matt took over in D.C. In fact we had a day off and Motorhead had to practice!! So far So good -not only is Matt a super cool dude with lots of good stories, he's also a quick learner and has managed to fill Mikkey's Swedish shoes with some seriously rocking ones of his own! In fact I would have to say the whole set has gotten a little more 'Rock n Roll'. It's fun watching Lemmy and Phil Campbell adjust to the new style- everyone is diggin it!

We have run into some cool old friends like Mike Inez from Black Label Society/Alice In Chains/Heart. The boys from VALIENT THORR, Priestess, Voivod, our old bassist Katie Lynn Campbell, Sean from White Zombie, Chris from Supagroup, Nikki Corvette and Amy from the GoreGoreGirls, A pack of the Sirens, Daniel Rey and so on and so on..
Nashville Pussy is on TWITTER! Someone has our name already so we are under the moniker BashfulPuppy. It's a great way to let us know what's up and keep y'all in touch with instant updates. Sign up and follow us on our adventure.

HAPPY STURGIS EVERYONE!

2009-08-11T21:35:00.001-07:00

HELL YEAH! What a fucking riot! Sturgis was everything I have heard and more! Thank god we got there a day early to get some serious local flavour and see what the fuss is all about.

Ok - for those of you who don't know STURGIS is a tiny town of not many thousand people that gets literally invaded once a year by up to 500,000 bikers, many of them on bikes! It is in absolutely beautiful South Dakota and really is the perfect place for riding a motorcycle. Georgeous scenery and friendly locals. We heard most of the locals dissapear during the rally and as soon as they're gone the grocery stores are full of old ladies who have been in hiding for the duration.

We lucked out and happened to have one friend who introduced us to many friends and gave us the royal tour. We hung out in Glencoe the campsite and got to ride on one of the most amazing machines I've ever witnessed. A fucking motorized couch! No Shit! Seems this bored genius decided to combine the chassis of a VW bug with a couch and a bar - this is the DRUNK DRIVING MAN in person!! The steering wheel even had a drink holder. George Jones would have been jealous.

We got to see lots and lots of boobies and even a few weiners there in 'Titty Alley' that night.

Everyone goes all out- it's kind of a hillbilly mardis gras but instead of floats - people make crazy rides out of anything, anything that'll tote tits! - one guy had buit a pirate ship with three stripper poles and plenty of ladies putting on a show. I saw a motorized beer cooler equipt with alarm and siren. 'Bikers entertaining bikers' was how it was explained to me. It was entertaining for sure.

We wound up at the Full Throttle Saloon to get on the zipline over the crowd. Again, some bored genius decided to buy an old bridge and run a zipline over the crowd to another old bridge - all this OVER the open bar which held at least 5,000 people. It turned out our old buddies the Last Vegas were on the stage as I was flying over the crowd on the zipline. We wound up back at the campsite in a zuchini, I mean, jacuzzi being pulled through Titty Alley. Me and a pile of half naked ladies driving down the dirt road sloshing water all over the onlookers and security guards. Not bad for the first night!
The next day we got to see the actual town of Sturgis and all the bikes lined up and all the campers on peoples lawns. We finally made it to our gig at the Broken Spoke - another massive Saloon out in the hills.

The show went great and we got to play in front of another pack of Virgins for the most part. Nashville Pussy Virgins that is... There was a VIP lounge to the side of the stage and they nearly broke through the floor rocking out to our set. We had a blast and a bunch of our new buddies from Glencoe came out to see if what they heard about us was true!

Once the glad handing was over we made it back to Titty Alley for a few more runs on the Couch and a couple of strong rides on the BUSHWACKER, (a very lady friendly blender, let's just say...)

We ran into Some of the guys from BlackBerrySmoke who'd played with Jackyl - lucky fuckers... and Yeah, if you haven't heard - Steven Tyler fell off the stage at the Aerosmith show at the Buffalo Chip campground. Cheech and Chong even played!
All in All - great time had by all- I got Bushwacked to say the least. One of those Blenders might be nice company when Blaine's on tour.

Thanks y'all for the ball. and the balls!

see y'all down the road
Ruyter and the Pussies

54,000 pussy fans can't be wrong and= 104 degrees in the Shade

2009-07-27T12:57:00.000-07:00

Hello Pussy Posse!! We just got home from a fantastic little run in Europe. Sweden, Italy And France - what a blast!

First was Hulsfred In Sweden- We played here years ago with Tracy and it was good to be back, I think we were the only rock band there this year and our set was followed by none other than Ice Cube! WestSide! Personally, he should stick to acting. We met some cool people and made the best of it- It was strange playin early in the day and the weather was pretty dismal - but we had fun.

Next we flew down to the South of France and hung out at the beach near St.Tropez for a few days and got to celebrate Bastille Day with the locals - It was a party that went on into the wee hours with a local band that played every kind of music under the sun including 'Cotten Eyed Joe complete with French accent and accordian - corny and hilarious! After we all got sunburnt we took a train to Bologna for our next show - the RiotFest in Ravenna Italy. We got to spend the afternoon in Nice watching the turquoise waves crash against to pebble covered beach and overhearing more American accents than we'd heard in a while.

We happened to be in Italy on the hottest day in 50 years they said, and man it was hot. It was a small outdoor festival with only one other band and was easily a million degrees. I thought we might actually melt when we played. The thermometer said 44 degrees C- But I think it must have broken around 40 - cause that is nuts!

We got taken to one hell of a meal, maybe the best of our lives in Italy. It started with traditional cured meats and cheese as an appetizer, Parma ham, Mortadella and Pig, in about 5 other ways - so amazing. Skinny crisp bread sticks and warm soft Pita like bread. The entree was just ravioli, done absolutley perfectly. It was filled with spinach and ricotta and a light pure tomato sauce. The main course was rabbit. The meat had been flattened and rolled with procuitto then baked and sliced so each half inch thick slice was a little pinwheel of pork wrapped rabbit, served on a fresh pea puree, almost like a think Dutch pea soup with more fresh peas floating around in it and roast potatoes on the side. Of course, just when everyone is bursting the ice cream comes then espresso then a digestive herbal alcohol shot to make the 'food go down'. We then had 40 minutes to check into hotels and get our shit together before heading back to the festival site. As usual once we are filled with the best food in the world, we are led off to a stage somewhere to rock our asses off. The sun had set and it cooled off but I waited til the very last minute to put my pants off (too hot for clothes!)

While at the hotel I saw our big French festival on the Italian News - so it was going to be a big deal! The Italian show was good practice. Supposedly we'll have a French film crew 'shadowing us' as well as a few songs on National television and a pile of interviews a press conference and a few photo shoots, we had a busy day ahead.

RiotFest was a ball, an 'Intimate' evening if you will. We were dripping sweat just sitting down. The show went realy well, there were a pack of fans from all over Italy and as usual we wound up partying with the staff and the few fans who managed to sneak in backstage.

Next day we flew back to Paris and took another train to the Bretagne area of France. One of my favorite area of France because that is where Asterix is from!! (My Favorite Cartoon Gaul!) Bruce Springsteen was on the cover of every newspaper and news show as he had just played to 43,000 people the night before.

Congratulations to us! We kicked ass at Les Vieilles Charrues. We actually played to more people than Springsteen!! There were 54,000 on our night. Our press conference went very well, the translator had done us three times before at other big French festivals and is a huge fan, despite the fact he has to be in his 50's. He called Blaine a genius for his lyrics and our riffs and even referred to us as a political band. He is particularly fond of the fact we are two women and two men and he says this is what his generation was working towards with the equality of women and he sees us as a direct product of his efforts. We also did a photo shoot for Rolling Stone and I did one for Gibson and their 'I LOVE MY SG!" campaign, three radio interviews, one for Latin america and two for France We played at 12:30 at night right after 20 solid minutes of fireworks, perhaps the best opening act of all time. The audience was fantastic and to top it all off a sexy French guitar player from the very popular band before us gave me his phone number! WOW!

What a Blast - after our little tour we flew home and wound up on TV again at the Braves game! Next stop STURGIS!! See y'all down the road and hopefully at the Biker Fest!

Ruyter and the Pussies!!

If this is HELLFEST I don't want to go to HEAVEN(fest?)

2009-06-22T12:06:00.000-07:00

Bienvenue!! WOW what a great weekend. We just got back to Hotlanta (fucking 95 degrees here) from Two fabulous shows in France! First we rocked Paris at The Nouveau Casino with none other than the infamous VOIVOD!!!

I was a big Thrash MetalHead in the teen 80's and these guys were definately on my short list of heros. I never had the chance to see them back in the day and as the years progressed I was scared to see them potentially devastate me by A) being a bunch of assholes or B) Suck Live, even worse than being assholes. Thank God it turns out A) they are super cool, friendly, smart and funny and B) RULE LIVE!!!! I was so relieved. Not only do I have a new favorite band I am also justified in loving them all these years. I phoned my mom to tell her VOIVOD STILL ROCKS!! I'm sure she was very relieved. Here's a shot of me and Blackie from the Vods.

Next day we drove to Clisson, only a few (5) hours from Paris, just far enough for us to get there really late and Miss both all our interviews AND our Autograph signing session (we are VERY SORRY) but we did not miss our slot of paying at 3:50 - the hour of ROCK that day! Wholly Shit what a great event. We did our thing, with maybe a little extra this time, because face it - we have no shows for at least two more weeks so what the fuck, whatever I do to myself onstage has plenty of time to heal before the next show!!

Our show was fantastic, a few technical problems, but to quote GIRLSCHOOL, 'that's what you get for being us!' But the Audience was on Fire. All 20,000 of them. The party continued off the stage and into the next day. As usual most of my recollections are one big BLUR but I know we had a ball with MAD SIN, the P-Shockabilly band from Germany. Two Tons of fun, and that's not just the lead singer. Here's Blaine with Hellvis of Mad Sin. And a shot of them on stage.

Some of the other bands playing were Motley Crue, Buckcherry, our homies from ATL- MASTADON, Girlschool, CLUTCH, HEAVEN AND HELL with DIO, DOWN, Backyard Babies, St.Vitus, Anthrax, WASP, The Entombed, Marilyn Manson, Machine Head, Kiling Joke, Misfits, Karma To Burn, Sacred Reich, The Cro-Mags, Manowar, Queensryche, Suicidal Tendancies, Orange Goblin, Napalm Death, KMFDM, and VOIVOD! needless to say, everyone's favorite band was the PASTORS OF MUPPETS - a 12 piece horn band with a drummer that played metal classics with lots of Metallica, done perfectly!

Needless to say - this was one of the most fun times we've had, and we have had our share, and a few other people's share too I'm sure.

The last few photos are of Dez Cadena of Misfits after a job well done and our Amazonian buddy Lucy from London who was in charge of 'artist comfort' - like spending 5 hours decorating Motley Crue's backstage in a Pirate Theme and a Dinosaur themed room for Clutch!

Thanks to everyone who was involved, can't wa it til next time! And finally a photo of 'the Australian Soup' for sale along with the SOUP OF DEATH!!

And by the way, Black is still the new Black.

See y'all down the road!

Hot Summer in Atlanta continued... (this got edited out)

2009-06-11T10:08:00.001-07:00

We head back to France next week for two spectacular shows, both with none other than VOIVOD!! The first show is in Paris at the Nouveau Casino on the 18th and will be an 'intimate' affair. The next show is the opposite - at one of the biggest Rock Festivals in all France. HELLFEST in Clisson on the 19th with HEAVEN AND HELL headlining. If they are anything like they were when we saw them in Chicago, it will be a spectacular event, I hear 100,000 people come to the three day event.

Summer in Hotlanta!!

2009-06-10T20:29:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone, How the hell are y'all? We are having a blast on our 'time off' here in Atlanta. It is just starting to get really fucking hot. 80-90 degrees if it doesn't rain. I've actually got my garden planted and Blaine and I have even made it to one Braves game so far. We got to see Unplugged/Unwigged Spinal Tap accoutic show at the Fox Theatre which was utterly historic.

Blaine and I spent 10 days in Lexington KY recording the new NINE POUND HAMMER album. They recorded a bunch of country songs - Hammer style and Hammer songs-Country style. So far sounds excellent. I was even called off the bench to contribute some mandolin. We'll be back this summer to finish up. If you check wikipedia it says the new Hammer album is out already and has a hilarious title.. I ain't gonna tell you. But like Homer Simpson says to Bart, 'Don't worry about Wikipedia, we'll change it when we get home'. Regardless it will be out, but we'll have to finish it first.

Also on our 'time off' I manged to play an accoutic gig with Mr. Eddie Spaghetti himself here in Atlanta's Gravity Pub in East ATL. Talk about an unexpected blast. We had so much fun and I actually managed to learn 9 songs for the gig. The show sold out and the audience was on fire. One of the locals closed the show by eating lightbulbs and sword swallowing for the last standing drunks (most of us). It turned out the lightbulb eater and his wife were being filmed for their episode of Wife Swap!! I can't wait to see the show.

So last week, we're watching this movie called "I'm Through With White Girls' and there's this scene where a guy is buying vinyl records and trying to impress the woman at the store. She comments on his Thin Lizzy purchase and he says "I like Nashville Pussy too". Pretty damn cool. what can I say, the guy's got taste.

Geordie's Rule

2009-04-19T07:31:00.000-07:00

Swansea was a DUMP!!! Eddie Spaghetti said on stage the club was so sticky it's like the floor is made of DUCT TAPE! Fucking funny. I had to see how far I would get on my knee slide and I pretty much went about a foot before I stopped short. Pretty funny. We have another gig in Wales in a week - so we are not out of the fire yet. So far all in all England has been fucking excellent. We had a few shit shows - Swansea and Birmingham of all places (hard rock capital of the world practically, in the 70's) but Manchester was 'Top' and last night in Newcastle we were 'Mint'. Both nights we played SUPER early- like 7:30 - because it's the weekend and to quote Blaine - 'the entire country turns into a Disco at midnight'. Luckily everyone knows this so the rockers come out early for the show - and we all can go to the pub together while the children do the disco.

We are in Glasgow today- got here early and I have to say- the rock gods seem to be smiling on us because for the second time here - the sun is shining and it is actually beautiful out. I am doing an interview in the GUINESSS factory when we get to Dublin on our day off - so I think everyone is going to tag along for that one. Oh and yes, the quality of the Scotch has improved immeasurably already!

We had an amazing experience after the Birmingham gig. Our tour manager Simon pulled some magic strings and had one of the best Indian Restaurants in the world stay open late for us. Supposedly Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in Birmingham as well as Cobra beer. We didn't even order - they just started bringing us food. What a glorious evening. One of the dishes was Chili Paneer - a super spicy and sweet sauce over fried paneer cheese. Very much like that Indian/Chinese food we've been enjoying in Atlanta. Anyways we were ecstatic, Rogan Josh is one of my new favorite dishes - though I keep forgetting the name and call it Seth Rogan or Josh Rogan, check it out- it might just be British ...

Wish us luck - we are off to Belfast tomorrow! And the Hawks are in the playoffs starting Tonight!!!

love and steak and kidney pie! - I'm eating HAGGIS today!

Proper Fish and Chips!

2009-04-14T03:13:00.000-07:00

We are at the beach in Brighton enjoying the fish and chips. We have a wonderful day off on this bank holiday while the Supersuckers have another show. The sun is shining and the place is crawling with tourists, we met a guy on the beach who said we must have brought the good weather with us. It is absolutely beautiful out. Almost nice enough to lay on the rocks on the beach. I tried to relate to the argument as to why rocks are perferable to sand ie 'rocks don't get stuck in your nooks and crannies, won't get in your food etc. But it still looked kind of uncomfortable.

Last nights show went really well. We played very early, 7:55. And on Easter Sunday. I think most people had just come from family Sunday dinner. We definitely played to a lot of new people which is fantastic. We had a very positive article and album review in Classic Rock magazine, 8 out of 10 stars. So hopefully we'll win over some fans here cause we'd love to come back.

Our London show might have been the best London gig to date. The club ULU is part of the University and unlike our shows at the Garage, Underground and Astoria, this was not frought with technical mishaps, tainting the show. No electrocution, no power outages and no fires! What a relief to finally be able to play a proper gig on a stage high enough that everyone can see. We had a really good performance and had an excellent time after catching up at the Crowbar with friends in town. At one point the bar was so full at the bar I think I was lifted off the ground and moved a few inches.

To end our perfect day in Brighton we had an excellent typical pub meal. I had the Cumberland Sausage Toad in the Hole style and Blaine had a steak and ale pie. Then we wandered the tiny crooked streets trying to find landmarks we only know from Quadrophoenia. Finally in search of local fried dough and sugar we hit the famous Brighton pier which has indoor gambling and games for all ages and an outdoor amusement park at the very end. It looks amazing at night all lit up. We found our dessert made by a machine called the Donut Robot and served by a young blond named Hedvig.

Next time we have to see the garden that Lewis Carroll based Wonderland on. Supposedly there is a 'rabbit hole' that is essentially a tunnel that travels from a field to the sea. Now it's a big gay hookup area. Maybe it was back then too.

Lotsa love from sunny England, off to Bristol where tonight I get to visit with a girl I used to babysit!

Back in the UK!

2009-04-11T04:42:00.000-07:00

We just got off the ferry from Calais and are en route to London. Dover's filthy chalk cliffs never looked better! The immigration guy had seen us play before in London and he gave me one of his picks. His band is called Die Fishboy! He told me to Youtube it!

We are back in the short bus and trying to sleep as much as we can today as last nights sleep was broken up by gear transfer and packing and moving into shorty here.

The tour is at the halfway mark.

Leaving the Continent ...

2009-04-11T04:40:00.000-07:00

We are driving on the road to Calais, we switch from our huge double decker back to the short bus AND lose our incredible merch woman Anika from Holland. We are sad to lose her to Cradle of Filth. Then we start the UK part of the tour. I only hope we can downsize all our souvenirs to fit the new mini bus.

The last show on the continent was spectacular. We sold out the Astrolabe in Orleans and made Jean Juc proud. We drank the Nashville Pussy wine from Chris the wine man from Bordeaux with our new crew and old crew. It was delicious. It had our Jesus logo and Blaine's lyric on the label 'he walked on wine'. Fabulous! Stefane our old TM was back from Darfour where he worked with Doctors Without Borders, and Steven was there who did our sound for years and Remy for 10 years ago and Bertrand and on and on. I had the honour of giving away a Gibson SG on stage to a lucky winner. Nice fucking guitar too!

The show was very very good. It is a pity we have to leave France so soon. But London will be a nice reward! We have a lot to do in the UK. And most of it is eating!!! And rocking too.

Much love from the road!

Happy Easter

Portugal!

2009-04-06T04:28:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody. We are in Portugal, just pulling into Lisbon. We had one of the best shows ever last night in Vigo Spain. The club was absolutley bizarre. No one had seen anything like it. Not only was the place huge but the stage must have been 15 feet in the air. We had to practically climb a ladder to get to the stage. The show wound up being absolutley packed and the audience was fantastic even though they were really far down there. The sound was incredible and both the Supersuckers and we had a ball. It was really like an indoor festival.

Since the bus fire the tour has been smooth sailing. Our new apology bus is a double decker so we have lots of room to spread out and drag friends along from town to town when we want.

All the shows have been pretty much sold out, even though most of our audience has been at the acdc show the day before. It seems we have been following acdc in both Switzerland and Spain. Our good buddy Norah from the band the Pleasure Fuckers In Madrid had a baby a year and a half ago. She named him Angus after Mr. Angus Young of course. Well she actually managed to bring her young Angus to meet and take a picture with Angus Young himself. Pretty damn cool. Big Angus wasn't actually that much bigger. A few people at our show brought pictures of Angus from the night before for me to see.

Hopefully tonight will rock as hard as last night but I don't know if that is possible. So far the city and weather is beautiful. We are surrounded by palm trees and the ocean right now. Last time we played here Blaine and I got food poisoning so I am sure this time will at least not result in us throwing up. Here's hoping!

See ya down the road

The Rules of Comedy, Explained by Example

2009-03-27T04:55:00.001-07:00

Okay!! Day motherfucking one! Yee haw! Back in Europe, back in France!! Kick ass show in Strasbourg. Stellar audience! The Supersuckers rock, but have to cut their set short so Dan Bolton can go back to the airport to go through customs to get his luggage that the airline has lost. You would think the rock gods had their fun? No! We fall asleep on the bus to the whiskey laden dreams that is our vocation only to be awoken to the tune of 'FIRE!!! Everyone grab your passports and get off the bus!' We follow suit. Stood on the side of the road, somewhere between France and Switzerland watching the billows of smoke churn out the rear end of our fancy new bus. Luckily there was no actual flames, but enough smoking to cause us to stop tout de suit! A tourist bus full of children stopped for our sorry asses and kindly decided to drive us as far as the Swiss border where now, we wait. For what? We don't really know. A new bus has been dispached to transport our gear and hopefully pick us up as well, untill then Nashville Pussy has taken up residence at the French/Swiss border and will be sleeping on the curb until we are admited into the country, with guitars and vehicle. We remain, rocking, though mostly in spirit. A slightly smoke scented spirit, but rocking none the less! Excelsior!
At least the coffee and the company is good even if it is 5am dark, and busless. Hopefully tomorrow will be kinder.
Love and rock!
Ruyter and the pussies!

PostScript:
We are at the gig, new 'apology' bus coming with our merch and is currently stopped at the border about an hour and a half away. But we have our gear and our health and our awesome attitude! What caught on fire was actually the fucking motor so it's a good thing we got out when we did. All is fair in love and rock and roll.

Hello babies!!! We are one hour away from the stage here in Paris. The Supersuckers should be going on any second now. So far so good. We got into Paris fine, easy flight then got promptly pulled over by Les Flics for driving a van painted flat black, evidently a non non en Paris. Once on our way we slept the first 12 hours easily.

Gibson has loaned us three new guitars 2 Les Paula and 1 SG. Ludwig has loaned Jeremy a flashy new kit. I'm rocking some cool new pants and we're playing at least 6 new songs. We're traveling in a smaller bus, the 'short bus' as we call it. Pretty styling, DVD players in every bunk and a hard drive with 200 glorious time wasters or movies you may call them. We have a new crew too, three Brits and a Canuck to keep me company. They all seem real hung ho.

Today we did a shitload of interviews, including Rock Hard, Extreme Guitar and Batterié, the drum magazine. We also did an TV interview that 2 million people will watch to promote our French tour in April.

...

Okay,hours have past, the show is over. First show on tour , SOLD OUT!!! 900 people!! What can we say, Paris fucking rocks. The audience was outstanding, totally on fire. Belgium tomorrow. I only hope they can keep up. France hit a high water mark.

Love from the road

So, we are three glorious day into our Canadian tour and it has already been fanfuckingtastic. The weather is perfect, the leaves are all turning crazy colours and the snow deprived Canadians are ready to explode with pent up adrenaline.

We had a handful of gigs in the states to bring us up here. Got to play 'Nutbush' with Miss Georgia Peach singing and Mr. Travis 'Ramo' Ramin on guitar in Minneapolis. Georgia and Blaine had a sexy screaming contest on stage. Hung out with our old sound guy Tim Mac. It was really heartwarming to catch up with some people who've known us since the beginning.

After the kindly border crossing allowed ALL of us in (thankyouthankyouthankyou) we took the ferry to Victoria where for the first timie in my life of taking that same ferry we saw whales!! There were like 7 Orcas around the boat feeding off Crabpots planted deep down. What a moment!

At the club I had instantly what can only be described as a typical Canadian experience. I met some cute little Island chick who we'd met years earlier in Toronto. Jeremy had snuck her in when she was underage. Now she was tanning hides to turn into drums on Saltspring island. She brought me some talismans for the road, an antique bottle with 1,000 year old Ojibway tobacco seeds in it, a buffalo tooth and 4 pennies squished by a train. Why that was typical I don t know, but it was a perfect moment And a touching beginning to the night. The show was great. Jesus Bonehead from the Dayglo Abortions brought us all schwag and an old lover turned up with a bunch of cool canadian redneck shirts for Blaine.

Vancouver always kicks ass. We did a retarted interview on CFOX and they actually played Nashville Pussy on the FOX!! I grew up listening to that station so to finally be on it is a sign that ROCK is ALIVE!!! Turns out everyone heard the 'interview' so we had a serioulsy packed house. My mom and dad included.

We met a shotputter who is qualifying for the 2012 olympic games in Vancouver and wants our version of 'Rock n Roll Outlaw' for his theme song. And no, one arm wasn't way bigger than the other.

A bunch of high school buddies of mine came out to party like no time had passed at all. We wound up at a late night chinese restaurant where they sneak you beer in a teapot after all the bars close. The code word is 'cold tea'. I ordered a whiskey too. And no code word was needed. Bad girls reunited, felt good.

Last night was Nelson. And as usual Nelson is fucking nuts. We heard the winner of the Cannibus Cup was grown here so we practiced up on our judging in case we get called off to Amsterdam to perform our duty in the area of expertice. You gotta stay sharp.

The show was nuts, there are a shitload of hot chicks in this crazy little burg. And they were going fucking bonkers in the audience. Gordie Johnston from Grady played harp on 'Lazy Jesus' with us and the audience loved it. We played at least 4 'one more song's right until they turned the house lights on and retired to the streets and house parties.

Right now we are off for more serpentine roads climbing through the mountains and more Pussy hungry Canucks.

See y'all down the road

Wacken Open Air Festival!!

2008-08-01T06:19:00.000-07:00

Hey y'all, we are en route out of Germany and back to France. Tonight we play a small festival of 3500 in a town named Selestat with the Entombed from Sweden and Mass Hysteria from France.

Last night was our first time at the famous W.O.A. Where once a year it seems 100,000 Metalheads converge from all around the world upon the little town of Wacken and turn in into a well oiled metal machine for the 3-4 days. The festival has been active since the 90's and last night was the biggest ever. It was sold out a month ago at around 90 thousand for the weekend. Each paying 100 euros including camping.

We hit the 'Party' stage around 5 after doing some interviews with various international .com magazines and shows. I have no idea how many people were there for us but let's just say it was very healthy. Jean Luc said we might have played for 15,000. Hard to tell you know? Nothing quite like the audience chanting your name to get you going, and go, we did!! It's was rocking and fucking hot too, hot sun beating down on us. Karen got a little sunburnt even. The crowd was great for us, felt great- lots of fans made it from al over the world to see us and we met people from France, Portugal, Brazil, Australia and Japan!

We got to meet and watch Girlschool which was a first, they used to open up and pal around with Motorhead back in the day.

After our show we got to watch one of the most fun bands we've seen in forever: Airborne from Australia. They were super rocking Ac Dc style pub rock but for a HUGE crowd. They are young, long haired and cute, jumping all over the stage in a sea of fog. Fucking great, really impressive and the audience went nuts for them. We really only watched the two rock acts Airborne and Girls School who we met backstage and did and Metal Hammer interview with where they played us songs and we were supposed to recognize them. I can barely repeat the band names we heard but I am proud to have recognized the only cool band they played, Deep Purple. Luckily Jackie and Enid were just as clueless as Karen and I. They were super cool and easy to get along with. Together we sat in front of the 'black stage' to watch the headliner IRON MAIDEN!!!!!!

There were SO MANY people there I can't begin to guess how many. All I know is Jeremy and Karen got trapped out amongst the people and Jeremy thought he was gonna have to get airlifted out by a helicopter with a ladder. He said it was like standing in line for 20 different rollercoasters only none of the lines are moving. And each ride is an hour and a half wait, the length of the concert. I didn't even venture out it was so overwhelming already with fans taking pictures while we're eating and stuff. Karen got to meet Steve Harris, Maiden's bassist but it was super brief, he din't exactly stick around to party.

Maiden was pretty great I have to say, they brought out a giant mummy style 'Eddie' monster from behind the stage and even had a guy in stilts walking around as an Eddie from the album 'somwhere in time' where Eddie is mostly skinless muscle and a future helmet with a laser eye! Spooky!! I was pretty chuffed! And still have. '666, the number of the beast' ringing in my ears!!

What a blast!

Hey ho!! We are finally back in Europe!! Even though Blaine and his Nine Pound Hammers were here in the same town just a mere month prior It's been at least a year for the Pussy since we disgraced this fabulous continent. It's already good to be back. Right now everyone has arrived in Antwerp from their many points of departure and we are rushing off to Amsterdam to pick up Jeremy's drums and stock up on some high test legal weed!

This tour we play a combination of big club gigs with the Reverend Horton Heat and a bunch of groovy festivals by ourselves including the Wakken Open Air fest with Iron Fucking Maiden!! It will be our second show ever with them, hopefully their guitarist won't fall off the stage during 'Number of the Beast' again and end the show like last time.

The second gig of the tour is at Amsterdam's Melkweg which is already looking dangerous because it seems like half of our worldly friend are flying in for the show, it should prove to be retarted. I don't know why we get treated with that town at the beginning of a tour. That should be the reward for a job well done. Thankfully we end in an equally fun town, London, at the good old Astoria where the ceiling was lit on fire last time we played. The entire capacity crowd was asked to vacate, pint glasses in hand, for an hour until the fire department declared it 'safe for rocking'. At which point every last person filed back in to do just that, and get a fresh pint as well by then. This time I'm sure we can rock without the fire department's ' intermission'.

The Rev hasn't played over here in at least 8 years we've been told so it should be an eye opener for them to get off our continent for a change. As much as I love touring the US and Canada, I do crave a good cup of coffee which even the shittiest of truckstops can deliver almost anywhere here. Nevermind the cheese and the beer and the weed!!

Wish us luck and we'll see ya'll down the road!!

P.s. Our buddy Hale is selling off some very interesting Nashville Pussy memorabilia at his website noisenoisenoise.com. Check it out all the money goes straight to the newly founded Gas fund we've started. Evidently cheap gas is a endangered species now so we're going hybrid. Our new van will run on bald eagle heads and cocaine to save money.

Love and Rock from ruyter and the pussies!!

GO NORTH young band!!

2008-05-14T16:07:00.000-07:00

Hey ho everyone! We have been on this latest tour for a few weeks now, starting down the barrel of the last weeks worth and it has been really good.

This has ben a tour of invitations and tours so far. We started in Cleveland at the House of Blues with the Rev before we hopped the border into my glorious homeland for a weeks worth of Canuck shows. H.O.B. As usual was fantastic and we were cordially invited to peruse the Rock n Roll hall of fame to see the latest exhibits. They had a baseball exhibit which sounds kinda funny but not if you consider all the crossover -- even we try to get to as many games as we can.

After the border crossing we played two Toronto shows and I got to hang out with some cousins Jennifer and Jonathan whom I hadn't seen in years. That same night I met this super cool dude Stefan, a horror movie actor and voiceover dude who I just picked out of the crowd because he was so cool looking. Turns out he was in Silent Hill and Resident Evil. He has the coolest job ever and has even gotten to write his own death! One day he did the voice of god in the morning and the voice of the devil in the afternoon. One day I'd like to follow in his footsteps. Be some kind of voice for anything, maybe a puppy!

We did a Ottawa show and stocked up on Poutine, the only truly Canadian food! So very delicious at 3 am eating out of a styrofoam cup with a plastic trident. Quebec City was great and Montreal even better cause we went to Schwartz' Smoked Meat!!! We played the night the Montreal Canadiens lost to Philly in the Stanley Cup playoffs and the city was prepared for the worst. There were probably four cops on every single block geting ready for a riot. Last game 20 cars were lit on fire including a bunch of cop cars.

All the Canadian gigs were played with GRADY as the opening slot. The band is based out of Austin but they're all Canadians. Gordie was the engineer on our latest record and will begin mixing on it as soon as their tour is over. Being familiar with the newest songs we got Gordie to come out and play harp with us every night on our latest hit song 'Lazy Jesus'. A crowd-pleasing favorite!

Once back in the states we met the new opening band, Backyard Tire Fire. All cool dudes who are totally fitting in with ease. It helps to dig weed and baseball even more than Blaine. After knowing them one day Blaine drove with them to Cooperstown to see the Baseball Hall of Fame. The highlight was seeing Babe Ruth's bat. He looks just like Jimbo!

In Baltimore we got invited to visit Duff and his crew at Charm City Cakes. Talk about cool! Mary Alice was awesome and they hooked us up with a bunch of cool 'Baked in Baltimore' schwag and a shitload of CAKE!! Travis sold merch that night wearing JUST his charm city apron. Being the total Food Network geek that I am, it was super cool.

Right now we are in the van driving all the way to Dallas from Bloomington, Indiana. Last night we had a suprise visit from our old roadie and good buddy Pat Nyffler. He's a full-time dad to a 4 year old girl named Lucy and doesn't look at all like a roadie anymore!

Hopefully we'll hit Interstate bar b que in Memphis in a few hours. Our bbq levels are dipping dangerously low. Plus we haven't had bbq spaghetti in some months now. We had delivery of some awesome Mutton from Owensboro but no one got their fill.

We'll be in Austin in a few days, Gary Lindsey's blues band is opening for us. That is going to be a hell of a night -- our buddy Chief is throwing a party at Emo's as well called Cheifest with the New Bomb Turks playing so hopefully we can catch some of their show also.

Nine Pound Hammer play next week in Lexington so Blaine and I will have approx. ONE day in our house before we gotta take off again, then he's off to Europe with the Hammers for three weeks, then we meet in Salt Lake City!!! More Rev and as long last we play again with the SUPERSUCKERS!!!! Should be a ball.

Rock on!

WILLIE NELSON FOR PRESIDENT!

2008-04-13T01:10:00.001-07:00

Okay- topper of all toppers, AFTER having FINISHED recording what is perhaps the greatest rock record of all time... or at least our time. The Nashville Pussies saunter over to Willie Nelson's old timey ghost town named LUCK, Texas. Which has been used for a buncha movies and videos with the provision that any movie using the property has to build ANOTHER fully functioning old timey building to add the town. Willie has his World Headquarters there which is basically an old timey two level building with a nice long wooden bar, poker tables, wood stove shoe shine seat and big screen tv and a stereo, oh and tons of trinkets of his travels. He has a wall that at a distance is merely and orange wall - then the closer you get you realize it's made up of a serious lifetime's collection of Orange ZigZag Boxes. We got permission to shoot some cool pictures with our buddy Judson who takes a helluva picture and drives a fucking cherry Roadrunner.
We shot a buncha beautiful pictures as the sun was setting, moseying down the gravel road with the chuch behind us,
hanging out in the Saloon and looking 'no good' around the bank and eventually posing in the Hoosegow.. or jail. As we were leaving we had seen Mr. Willie Nelson himself arrive to his HQ at the head of the main street in Luck. We could hear him cranking out some tunes and saw him serving from behind his bar to some buddies that dropped by. Obviously we all wanted in there, hang with Willie - so Judson knocked on the door and sadi thankyou for letting us shoot on the premises and Willie said 'No problem, y'all smoke?'
The rest, my dears, is history! I'll leave you with - there was no more tequila and our cheeks were sore from smiling. He is a class act all the way and it felt a little bit like leaving Heaven as we had to say good bye. Sitting in the Bar with Willie Nelson enjoying his generous 'company' etc. and listening to his playing a recording of 'Sitting on top of the world' was very apt and true and as we left town, even though we were literally 'out of Luck' it sure feels like a lot rubbed off.

ciao amigos!

CHICKEN FRIED BACON (day three)

2008-04-02T19:18:00.000-07:00

OK, we have been Haulin balls on this recording, not to get ahead of ourself cause we are day three and still have ONE song left to track. The weather, the people and the vibe have been condusive to some balls out rock n fuckin roll. Blaine has been hitting the Boone's farm for some serious inspiration and from what we've heard him singin so far, this album is going to make our last album seem like an asshole. He has seriously surpassed himself. We have to turn his vocals down so we don't hear what he's saying and accidently fuck up playing coz we're laughing so hard. Today is TRUTH day - every song is the Gospel Truth - all true tales from the front line.
I borrowed this awesome old Fender Telecaster for a couple of twangy songs. Remo's father Jerry was kind enough to lend it out for this album - though I'm not so sure he's gonna love what we've done with it! Nah, he'll love it. We been calling it the 'Daddy Tele' and I am slowly learning how to ride it. It's quite the singing beast - gonna have to get me one for the tour.
Yesterday we had an amazing suprise, turns out in these parts, they have a food we never have even though of in our wildest drunken depraved Caligula dreams, get this....... COUNTRY FRIED BACON! - it's true!! it was part of our regular massive order of food and I can honestly say, to quote our original drummer Adam Neal; 'I can feel myself dying with each bite'.
In rummaging around Willie's pad, I found an old Golf Score card of his from '94. I'll get the picture up here soon cause, it is pure comedy. He won, is the short story, the Rules are another... that man's got Moxie.
Today we met a dog that plays the fiddle.
I ain't lying, she rides around in that Horny Texas flagged 'Cat a lac' that Mr. Daniel Rey is a settin in in the picture. The cute puppy behind him is Molly, who has been on Conan O'Brian, no shit! I'm jealous of a dog, for Conan, the Car AND the damn fiddle playin!!! I think we're gonna have Molly sit in for a solo tomorrow. I wish the Georgia Flag was car-able.
OKAY it's a few hours later from the last paragraph and after a bunch of takes and some serious options on how many hours the solo should go on for, we got a rediculously take on our last song!! I wound up on my back on the floor playing with my fingers on Daddy's Tele! Thank you Jerry! I hope to have done you proud. We'll have to get you an instrumental version so you can play it for your friends without having to explain all the cussin' n comedy.
We heard that Willie was playin golf this morning- but that was this morning and we were still sleeping off last night. We saw his stage manager (the famous Poodie, who has his own Hot Mustard!) now that's class! his bar is just a few miles down the road so we'l probably have a celebrate there when performance warrants a reward. Until then we'll be ordering Opie's Bar B que and laying down greasy tasty tracks with Sticky Saucey Fingers. I finally know what the Stones meant, they must have recorded in Texas.

Day one at Willie's place!

2008-03-31T12:54:00.000-07:00

Well we are here, after a grueling 16 hour drive which left Karen, Jeremy and myself all loopy. We arrived Saturday at noon in Austin. Blaine had a crazy Nine Pound Hammer gig in Stone Mountain (outside of Atlanta) on Saturday so he flew in and met us Sunday. We spent the night sleeping off the trip at Jeremy's parents and woke up to freshly cooked Mom Food, pot roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, veggies and bisquits and even Peach Cobbler. We hung out with our Austin buddies and reconviened Sunday for the requisite Mexican breakfast and later burgers at Casinos before making the trek out to Perdenales studio here in Spiceland or Briarcliff Texas, only about 30 min from Austin.

Both our condo and the studio are right on the Lake Travis so the view is beautiful. We have two balconies that both face the lake and right now I can see Turkey Vultures and little black birds slowly making circles in the sky. I'll make sure to keep moving so they don't think I'm lunch.

Blaine and Remo are at the studio already, we have to get some groceries and Blaine will probably be off to get Daniel from the airport.

It's really pretty and calm out here. And Willie Nelson's studio has a great vibe. Gordie from the band Grady and of Big Sugar fame is our engineer and he has all sorts of drum sound tricks that Jeremy is excited about.

We got everything set up last night more or less enough to get some basic sounds for when Daniel arrives. It's a groovy old place with lots of Willie charm, Gold records, pool tables and even a real reverb room tiled from floor to ceiling. We'll be recording to tape initially to try and get the fat sound of the 70's so vacant in todays compressed for ipod recordings. In the tape room there's a reel labeled 'Willie and Frank' and yes, Frank means Sinatra. Pretty awesome company we're keeping here.

Unfortunatley the olympic sized swimming pool at Willie's has been filled in. Insurance reasons and such. Pity, we all bought our trunks, and I even trimmed the hedge! Still the studio is spacious and has lots of escape rooms for anyone to go off and 'concentrate'. Basically Blaine has lots of places to write lyrics and come up with good silly stuff to sing about.

So day one is underway, we're all anxious and excited about getting some stuff down to hear how it sounds.

In the last few weeks cramming with Daniel in Atlanta we've managed to nail down 12 originals for this new titleless album. Most of them are so fresh they won't be fully baked until we get them on tape. We've been tweaking and altering them everytime we play them so nothing is even remotley stale. We'll be recording live, as usual, with Jeremy enclosed in the drum room so we can watch what he does but won't have to smell his farts! (We all need our own rooms for that). Mmm mexican food!

The funny thing is the studio feels strangely familiar. I think I actually had a dream about this place. Feels real comfortable. Like all the ghosts are our old friends, helping us rock out.

Love y'all!

Ruyter and co.

Long Overdue Long Ass BLOG, XMAS etc.!! LEMMY FOR XMAS

2008-03-12T19:41:00.000-07:00

Everything is great! The last tour went VERY WELL!

As you all know we started our tour off being very excited to play 5 shows with Hank 3 - whois easily one of our favorite live bands these days (and we like him on album too! STRAIGHT TO HELL is the one to buy) But right before we started out on our fucking 3 day drive across america we found out that Shelton(HANK) had to cancel. So we began the long, lonely drive across this country knowing that it would only be us two bands on the first part of the tour with the REV! It is about 50 hours of driving and our first show was Dec 26th in San Francisco. That meant we HAD to spend Christmas at a truckstop! Pretty suitable for our style anyways.

It must have been the Christmas spirit because our Christmas present this year was finding out that the tour with the Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy would be joined by none other than LEMMY KILMISTER himself! That's right you heard me right!!!! LEMMY from MOTORHEAD decided to spend his Birthday with us and the REV. What a gift. So for the first week on tour we got to watch Lemmy every single night play at least 5 songs with The Reverend Horton Heat. They played 'Going To Brazil' 'Run, Run Rudolph','Route 66' and a few Rev's songs also.

For New Years Eve in San Deigo Blaine was asked to join them on stage and sing one of the verses of 'Run Run Rudolph'. Karen and I were asked to sing Background vocals on the same song. That was so FUCKING COOL! There really is nothing cooler than being on stage in front of a bunch of crazy super awesome fans cheering you on and looking over and seeing your husband singing and next to him seeing LEMMY smiling while he watches Blaine sing too (we'll try and upload the vid Trav shot) - No one else in the world can say that! what a fantastic night! Mojo Nixon (a dj on Sirius radio) Came out and met the band finally. We listen to him all the time when we are touring. He is one of the main DeeJays on OUTLAW COUNTRY and we are dying to have one of our songs on there.

So even though we fought over who's Jack Daniel's it was every night most of the time we had too many bottles of 'drink' and we were all very sad to have to say good bye to sweet Lemmy - He will always be a mentor and hero to us! Plus he's fucking funny as shit, and smart, and smells good - a real class act all the way!

Let's see, what else happened..... We played in Colorado for 11 shows! that was kinda crazy - especially when you consider we have only ever played about 5-7 different cities in the entire country of HOLLAND. But yes Colorado is pretty fucking big and we even managed to play a few new places which is always fun.

The first stop was Durango - it is in a VERY amazing area of this country which we had never seen before - just south of Durango is some of the most amazing landscape I have ever, ever seen. Super long vistas of nothingness, then out of nowhere HUGE giant crazy dangerous looking rocks jutting out of the ground, then nothing again for MILES AND MILES. Fucking cool as shit! Durango was tucked into the foothills of some fucked up crazy mountains that were pretty exciting (and terrifying) to drive. It is a beautiful little town with a bunch of very cool people (buying me whiskey).

I met a cool, generous tattoo artist named Matty who gave Blaine the coolest cowboy shirt in the world. Blaine has not taken it off since. He wore it on every single show after that! It is an old timey stitched cowboy shirt which Matty drunkenly tore the sleeves off. But the back has this super awesome embroidery of a Skeleton in a cowboy hat drinking XXX whiskey!! Woo Hoo! So cool! We also met Ed Stasium (he engineered 14 Ramones records) and also the Reverend Horton heat - so VERY cool to meet him and his awesome wife in that bizarre little town.

Some of the highlights in Colorado include staying with Danny and her friends in her parents mansion in Aspen (her house had an elevator!!) and hanging with Sara (from the Virgin Islands), Micha and John at the swanky Resort in Vail!! Thanks again for giving us that amazing hotel to stay in for FREE! Anytime gentlemen! We had a swell time!- Getting stuck in the snow in downtown Apsen was pretty funny too - at least we finally learned how to put snow chains on.

Another HIGH point was being invited to one of the best meals we have ever had in our life! A friend of a friend was drunk and bragging about what an incredible chef he was. When he sobered up we asked him if he was still such an incredible chef and he re-invited us to his restaurant for a 5 star meal. with at least ten courses plus dessert and paired wines - the whole she bang. He specializes in food from northern Italy and I hate to tell you but the competition is on! Any restauranteur who wants to challenge THE GREATEST MEAL OF A LIFETIME - Nashville Pussy will gladly be your humble judges. On a day off - otherwise we will just go to sleep when we hit the
stage! Anthony Bourdain watch out!!

In Boulder, Colorado we were visited by the one and only JELLO BIAFRA from The Dead Kennedy's. He has been a friend of ours for some years now and is a good friend of The Reverend Horton Heat as well. His family is from the area so after our show in Bolder we drove him home and he gave us a little tour of the town he grew up in including where JonBenet Ramsey's house was. CREEPY!! Jello came out to the next three shows and when we played Denver - he came out on stage with the Rev and sang WAR PIGS! It was crazy and the audience went nuts. But even better was when both Blaine AND Jello came out and Jello sang the chorus's of ACE OF SPADES with Blaine! That might have been the high point of the tour! I thought the audience was gonna melt they went so crazy over that.

One of the other outstanding moments of the tour was in Tulsa, Oklahoma at Cain's Ballroom. This place has been around since at least the 30's - and had giant 'colourized' pictures of old musical cowboys and cowgals on the walls. People like Roy Rogers, Spade Cooley, Hank Williams(before he was a Sr.), Tennessee Ernie Ford and the like. We heard tell that this was where BOB WILLS and the Texas Playboys used to play ALOT!. Bob Wills by the way is one of my all time favorite bands - Good old Texas Swing, Buck Owens was a huge Bob Wills fan (Buck is also one of my favorites )Skynyrd is also a fan and another huge fan is DWIGHT YOAKUM!!! When we played in Tempe Arizona we had the honor of meeting a very Foxy Cowboy in mustache and cop sunglasses.

I was asked to guess who he played drums for and guessed 'Bob Wills?' they said 'NO - DWIGHT YOAKUM!!' so we got to meet and hangout with Mitch Marine - who besides having good taste - is pretty damn foxy I might add!

TULSA was downright HISTORICAL. the audience was fantastic - but the Venue - is really something else - we are honoured to have rocked the shit out of that club (plus there was a cute little 10 year old girl in front of me all night wearing a KISS shirt - I had no choice but to Rock a little extra hard for her!)

Really the whole tour was very amazing. We spent so much time in cold ass Colorado my face was chapped!! It was fucking cold and there is NO moisture in the air at all- it was kind of difficult for Blaine and I. Evidently Whiskey is not very moisturizing despite what I have heard!

After Lemmy Left the tour - Blaine was invited to sing every night with the Reverend Horton Heat! The band had learned how to play 'Ace of Spades' just in case Lemmy wanted to play it - but he really wanted to play songs he never gets to do so we never once heard Lemmy play ACE it with The Rev. The guys in the Rev did an excellent version one day in sound check and asked Blaine to sing it once Lemmy left the tour. So for the rest of the tour - for the Rev's encore - Blaine ran out and did Lemmy justice- Blaine was fucking incredible and the audience reaction every night was practically electric! he nailed it!

The funniest night was in Springfield Missouri where Blaine was off drinking with some chicks and missed the beginning of the song. Jim (the Rev) announced his name from stage - but there was no Blaine - no one in the band saw him at all. Someone finally told me they saw him walking towards the bar a few minutes earlier - so I ran off and found him being 'entertained' by some locals!! I told him he's supposed to be on stage and he was like 'yeah, yeah - I'll be there in a minute" and I had to tell him that they were singing the song without him. Blaine ran through the bar and jumped up on stage in time to do the Chorus and the rest of the song. He only missed one verse! And instead of shaking hands with the band he stage dove into the audience and they carried him off!! Probably back to the Bar! What a finale. I know that night we drank AMISH moonshine out of a plastic milk jug! OUCH my head hurt in the morning! BUT again - the bar owner was really foxy! What can this poor girl do?

We said goodbye to the Reverend Horton Heat the night before in their home town of Dallas TX. The Grenada Theatre in Dallas had a really cool lighting rig that kept whispering 'Ruyter, climb me, you know you want to'. So at the end of the show I monkeyed my way up to the very top (about 20 feet) and pulled all the strings out of my guitar over the audience. One of the guys who worked at the Theatre said he had seen audience members TRY to climb up it but never someone in a band!

The last night of the tour was in glorious Austin, Texas and we got to do our own show. Finally we played a WHOLE SET in front of the always awesome audience at Emo's. It was a perfect end of a successful and rewarding tour - and our good buddy Gary Lindsey (from Hank3's ASSJACK) was there and came up on stage to sing Rose Tattoos 'Rock n Roll Outlaw' with us. It was an intimate evening spent with a few hundred of our best friends and a handful of very cool strangers with excellent taste!

I hope this will do for now- we are home for a bit - writing new music for the next Pussy Album!!!!! Blaine has been very busy writing music 24 hours a day. And the new Nine Pound hammer album comes out real soon - so keep your eyes peeled for it!!!

love you all

Ruyter and (Nashville Pussy)
p.s. I know this is LOOONG, hey I ramble. and I'll find some cool photos soon I promise!!

We Still Got A Long Way to Ho (Ho Ho!)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS All Y'all!! Nashville pussy Hits the road again TOMORROW! after an amzingly productive week writing new songs with none other than Mr Daniel Rey - who graced us with his presence for three glorious days here in the ATL before hitting the Xmas Circuit with Mz. Ronnie Spector. We had a ball and came up with some pretty impressive new stuff. Hopefully the audiences in the next week will be so kind as to let us try some of them out.
Unfortunate news, Mr Shelton Williams AKA Hank III/ASSJACK - won't be joining this tour as previously announced. we just found out yesterday that he'd had to pull out of this tour but hopefully that will pave the way for the Truly Unholy Union of NASHVILLEPUSSYHANKIII tour down the line, coz now they owe us cuz!
With or without- the Pussies will be doing the glorious trek across this fine country to celebrate Xmas in no less than the finest Cracker Barrels this nation has to offer. Our first show is in San Franciski on the 26th and the tour goes until the 17th in Dallas with the Reverend Horton Heat. Then we have our own headlining celebration gig in Austin TX at EMO's. Should be a blast as always.
Blaine and Nine Pound Hammer just got back from a few gigs in France and Holland including the amazing SPEEDFEST with Peter Pan Speedrock - all reports have been stellar so far and I am fucking pissed I wasn't there. I finally watched the PETER PAN SPEEDROCK DVD out of jealousy and there are some classic Jeremy moments on there to say the least - most of the DVD is in Dutch but Jeremy is speaking one of those Universal languages that happen late at night... pretty funny stuff. Look out for a movie called Run Fat Boy Run - Hammer has a song in it - also look out for a movie called ALL HAT which uses the Pussies 'High as Hell'. I haven't seen either so if you have, let me know!!
Much Love to y'all, We'll miss Shelton and his gang - hope you guys have a swell Xmas without us, we'll miss your whiskey!! If you come to the gigs, I know yule have a ball (ho ho) and we'll see y'all down the road!

Rev Horton heat and Hank III HELLRIDE

2007-12-05T23:30:00.000-08:00

Okay we've been off since Thanksgiving from this tour and I think we are all still reeling over how great it went. I cannot say enough about this combination of bands - Every night was sold out and every night the crowds were wrung out from partying so hard, three times in one night! It was a triple threat and Hank III was a triple threat within himself - playing in his glorious Damn Country band, The HellBilly co-oprative and finally the full frontal assault of Assjack. Having never seen Shelton and his entourage perform we were floored by the whole show and the people behind the machine - princes among men all of them.
We spent Halloween in Baton Rouge and got done up good. Harry Pussy Potter, Dee Snider, Elvis and of course Yosemite Sam!

Even the Rev was in the audience that night disguised as Joey Ramone he coud walk amongst us and not get hassled. Shelton was dressed in Ghoul makeup and later as some freaky New Orleans style Satan with a belt around his neck hoding his mask on - creepy!
We got a good look at those strips of leather he calls boots ducttaped to his feet - what a mess! We gotta buy that boy some boots!
The Rev's Jimbo had cuts painted all over his face so got no sympathy when he thew his bass into the ceiling and it came down and sliced open his nose. Oh well Chicks dig scars luckily.
It was my birthday in Orlando and before I passed out in the van the band arranged a delicious cake and a bubblemaker backstage for me to play with.
One of the crew got named FUCKBUBBLES for fighting with the bubbles that night. I had fun shoving cake into peoples faces andeven though the Fiddle player Adam had gum in his mouth- he was kind enough to say it was pretty tasty!

We got in the habit of borrowing assjack's lead singer Gary to sing Rose tattoo's Rock n Roll Outlaw with us - we got pretty damn good at it too I think. I still gotta remember to make sure I don't lose a tooth in the enthusiasm.

At the end of the tour we had gained a crew member as Kevin from Hanks' camp came home with us to celebrate Thankgiving 'Pussy Style' (a couple days late and too much of everything!!!) He baked a cake and even carved the bird!
Nashville Pussy has a few weeks off right now but will be back doing this all over again for Xmas and New Years on the west coast - we are all counting the days back to all that dirty fun on the stage and the back of the bus! I think I am starting to like the taste of moonshine now that I know it don't taste like water like Barney Fife led me to believe.
If we are still allowed on the bus - it'll be a blast, otherwise we'll be at the bar!!
Blaine is in Europe as I type - he's got three Hammer shows including one with the Almighty DWARVES in Eindhoven Rock City, Holland for the second annual SPEEDFEST put on by those Dutch cuties PETERPAN SPEEDROCK! Damn I wish I was there!
That's all for now - I'll try and figure out how to post some of the cool photos from the tour.
Rock on, see y'all down the road

Gettin Down time finally!

2007-10-09T08:56:00.000-07:00

Hey Y'all!! After our whirlwind tour of South America we had a few days off then we spent a few days in Vegas playing a private party which quicky became public at the PALMS 'Rain room'. It was really swanky to say the least and we ran into BMX'rs from around the world there for the Film premire we were playing. A bunch of crazy fuckers from Nelson BC put the show on and we met people from as far away as good old Holland. Partied with a bunch of Dutch that we met at the Lirop Festival as well as a bunch of Canuckleheads and of course the local Las Vegans. We played in front of a waterfall and there was a giant candelabra of fire blasting in the centre of the room that kept going off at climaxes in the music- it got hot in there.
Now we are just enjoying some time off - working up some new tunes and getting ready to hit CMJ in New York at Don Hills on the 18th. This is a virgin experience for Blaine and I as we get to play with both Nashville Pussy and Miss Georgia Peach. We have never performed as a band with her so it should be pretty exciting. Hopefully we will play early in the day at Don Hills and another show- I'll post on here when I have the details - but it should be worth checking out. The Miss Georgia '45 comes out in November and hopefully we'll have some for sale in NY as well.
We got to hang out with the Turbonegros when they played Atlanta last week (Euroboy's got braces!) And Saw Nick Oliveri for the first time since he was in Queens. Also Brent from Mastadon is fine in case you heard about his scuffle at the VMA's. For the TURBONEGRO after party Blaine got to DJ. This was his first time DeeJaying in the USA! Now he's done it in Melbourne, Montreal, Japan? I can't remember where else but the place was rocking. Man that guy can spin some wicked tunes - I know it sounds like my living room but that night he busted some shit out that we don't even listen to around the house. Including a bunch of shit that Turbonegro ripped off and some VIKINGS too!

By the way - our Buddy HALE has some new Limited Edition Autographed stuff for sale on http://www.noisenoisenoise.com/ Our merch website has been closed for renovations so he has some new cool shit up on his site instead! I apologize to those who have wrote in saying we have nothing available! Check out his site, he has stuff no one else does and the proceeds go straight to the band, not some lying jerk getting his daughter to ask for autographs then selling them on ebay. This guy is straight up.

see y'all down the road!

Livin' High in Sao Paolo!

2007-09-10T22:13:00.000-07:00

Hello from Sao Paolo!!

We are here at the beach! Chile was kinda chilly. Great show, blew their minds. Did an encore, partied all night then flew here.

Sao Paulo is 17 million people. The city with no end they say. Our hotel is next to the club and there are hookers and sex shops every foot. Some whore houses are 'disguised' by being 24 hour barber shops but they ain't fooling anyone.

We got into the city around 9 at night and had a fabulous meal of local delights. Lots of empenadas, beef stews, rice and beans. dried Salted beef with onions and 'Halloween fruit' that had cheese in it and tasted like good cheesey grits. Today we drove to the beach. Down a crazy mountain past a giant Peteoleum city that was disgusting. And past cities of ghettos called favellas. Where it is supposedly super dangerous and they sell crack.

We spent hours walking on the beach and ate some great seafood and drank caprianahs. While watching guys play futball. Blaine was all excited we were gonna eat squirrel but the translation was wrong and it turned out to be only squid! We'll probably have to go back to Georgia for the squirrel. Now we are settling down for spaghetti with three sauces made by one of the girlfriends.

We have pretty much three days off. Two at the beach apartment and one in Sao Paulo when Blaine is going to DJ in the city and we get to watch!!

This is a photo of Guaruja, the beach we are staying at for a couple a days!

So far so good, and it is good, bon viaje indeed.

Ruyter and the Pussies

From North to South!

2007-09-07T20:46:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody!! I am writing to y'all in the airport in Miami on our way to glorious Santiago Chile!!

We just had a fantastic fucking quickie in Canada! Whistler as usual was a complete blast, they got no snow up on the mountain so all the permanent victims of that town are hungry for the rock. The opening band Fireflood were very metal, very Judas Priesty but with hot straight boys instead.

Calgary at the Snatch bar was THE best Calgary show we have ever had. The place sold out by midnight and we had 1100 fans of rock to party with. Nashville Pussy was the entertainment for one of the biggest tattoo conventions in North America. People were there from all over the world so our audience was full of diehard Pussy fans and a shitload of virgins. The crowd was crawling with super hot chicks and freaky dudes. Mr. Pink Suit turned out to have his own reality show about a rock n roll style barber shop where regular customers have their own beer steins stored for their next haircut. I swear every next person had a tale to tell.

Kat von D. was the big draw for the fest so a bunch of those TLC fuckers were there. We met Pixie who is on LA Ink also. She seemed totally cool for someone who has to deal with cameras in her face all the time.

If you read my first blog you know Jeremy was in a Smokey and the Bandit style road race to Texarcana. First prize was a Trans Am.

I guess they had to scavenger hunt photos to prove they had done the whole trip. One of the items was a photo of two guys in matching cowboy outfits. Jeremy and Tom and Adam actually managed to convince two guys in a western wear shop to get done up in their goofiest matching outfits to pose for the shot, turquoise shirts and those licence plates real cowboys use for beltbuckles. Not to be outdone Jeremy wore his tuxedo t shirt, a cape, a top hat and cane with little white gloves. Tom and Adam had matching Dickie coveralls with Tom wearing his Easy Rider red white and blue motorcycle helmet and Adam wore a ten gallon hat and a fake mustache over a drawn on sharpie mustache. One of the scavenger photos was of a bar brawl and Jeremy said they almost started one walking into a bar dressed the way they were. Unfortunately they lost the race to a bunch of savvy chicks from Atl who had a GPS and nailed all the scavenger points but fortunately the first prize car our boys lost was a piece of shit spray painted Firebird that no one even wanted to ride in and wasn't even bolted to the frame. Remo said the windows wouldn't roll up and were kept from rattling with napkins stuffed between the glass and car door. A real classy ride.

Ahhh a good time had by all. I will try and convince them to post some photos cause it sounds like a fucking hoot!

Our last show in Canada was in good ol' Edmonton and went real good but it was the end of the lo-ong weekend and everyone rocked out but was pretty burnt out. 'the weekend was showing...'

So now we sit at the Miami airport watching Osama on CNN because he dyed his beard for his new video. Blaine says he was at our show in whistler but snuck out before the encore to go boarding.

We have five shows in South America, they keep changing our schedule, but it looks like we play Santiago Del Chile, a few days on a beach, Sao Paulo, Goiania, Sao Paulo again and Belem and back home. Sounds like a great time. Any tour that has the words 'beach day' right on the itinerary is good with me! I talked to Lisa from the Bellrays last night and she said Sao Paulo was fantastic so we are ready for a good time. Lemmy told is that Brazil is the most rock and roll place on the planet.

We'll let you know! We are now on board the plane and will wake up in Chile. !buenas dias y hasta manana!

Ruyter and the Nashville Pussies

Rock and a hard place

2007-08-16T04:54:00.000-07:00

HELLO Pussy Posse! Welcome to our new, slowly renovated Website and MY first ever BLOG! A lot has been happening with the PUSSY lately even though we've been on 'vacation' writing the new album - so I thought I'd drop in and say HIGH!

Most recently we celebrated 10 years of a successful Menage et trois. Blaine and I and Jeremy have been playing in NASHVILLE PUSSY for ten years now! Who had any idea we'd be presenting Jeremy with a trophy for 10 years of dedicated service in our backyard with a cast of miscreants and other heathens to celebrate the milestone. I think ten years is the Hamburger anniversary isn't it? Maybe It's the Whiskey anniversary - either way we had it covered and we all had a ball.

At this very moment Blaine and I are awaiting word that Jeremy might be the winner of a Burt Reynolds style scavenger hunt al la Smokey and the Bandit. Him and Adam (ex drummer of the Drugs and the 45's) and Mr. Tom Jergowitz started off at 8 am from Atlanta towards Texarcana to get a case of COORS! There was supposed to be 20 teams leaving from here this morning for the10 hour non race - but last night was the Burt a thon at the drive in and therefore only 5 teams actually started the race. The winner gets a car, an old trans am or something- but I'm still waiting to hear that it's a matchbox car... Anyways - Team Remo was the first to get there with all the scavanged Photos they had to collect to get points and now we just wait........ should be any minute now!!

This past weekend was quite nuts - we had the first Saturday night off as a band in New York City in the history of Rock bands who don't live in New York City! - Oh and we had a couple of gigs too. The Boat Cruise - was... a lot of fun, we rocked a shitload - but we didn't get to see the Statue of Liberty as promised - and for some reason we were still playing while we docked. Someone needed a watch or something. The next day was ASBURY LANES! This place rules and is truly the gem of Asbury. Like a time machine back to a groovier time full of hipsters from hell. We played right on a stage built over the lanes while Texas Chainsaw/ Car Crash/ Burlesque stuff played on a movie screen behind us. The audience was very cool but the atmosphere was outrageously fantastic - anyone near this place HAS TO GO! We played with none other than Scott Biram and SWASHBUCKLE a pirate metal band, aarrrrrr.

Saturday we spent a working man's hours at MANTOBA'a swell bar - getting told Rock stories form Daddy Dick. Again swell time had by all- but this time we were the audience. Mr. Daniel Rey was there and we are making plans for the future!!! Hint Hint.

So welcome to the blog- please feel free to leave me messages on the message board - Blaine will have his BLAINE SEZ blog up and added to before you know it also. please send us any cool photos from any of the gigs and we'll find em a home.
see y'all down the road - wish Jeremy Luck - I want a ride in his new car!!!
