Livin' High in Sao Paolo!

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!

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

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!!!
