Nashville Pussy Chronicles -Steamboat Springs

Nashville Pussy @ Levelz Club in Steamboat Springs, Colorado

The drive to Steamboat Springs was incredibly beautiful. So far Steamboat Springs is the best place we’ve been. If we are going snowmobiling this will be the place to do it…if I can talk Jeff into it. Boulder is great and Vail is pretty good if you have LOTS of money. As for Colorado Springs…just about any other place on earth would be my favorite. Nothing personal but anybody living there should move. Sorry to be so harsh.

We have performed our pre-show rituals and are just on our way out to see NP at the Levelz Club (right up there) We saw the Reverend HH’s bus pulling in right after we took that picture and the club manager said NP were not schedueled to arrive until 7 for soundcheck. NP isn’t in a bus but a white van with a U-haul behind it. I wonder if they drove all the way from Atlanta? If so…goddamn.

1. The official photo pass was indeed cool.

2. But getting searched for weapons at the door was even more better.

3. Getting some video especially the ones with Blaine’s “You Give Drugs a Bad Name” speech and the one with Jeff watching the Ruyter. I think he has a crush. 🙂

4. Gettin lectured by the guy for taking too many pictures of Ruyter and not enough of Katie. But…But…Katie doesn’t take her shirt off. Yet.

5. Watching Jeff from the other side of the stage get a chance to talk to Ruyter and feeling a little jealous, but really being happy for him cause he loves this whole roadtrip and the rock and roll thing so much. And I know he loves me with all his heart.

Hey Pussy Fans, I have some news about Tracy leaving the band and some news on the new bass player Katie. I had the chance to talk to Ruyter after their show last night in Colorado Springs. It turns out that even the band themselves have no idea as to why Tracy quit the band. Ruyter said she sent the band an E-Mail simply stating that she quit. No explanation, no nothing. Ruyter says they were blown away cause as far as they knew things were going along great. She went on to tell me that they sent email after email to Tracy begging her to at least tell them why she wanted to quit, to say she was ok or something, anything to explain why but they only recieved one other email from her saying,” My decision is final.” Ruyter told me that they were truly upset over the whole deal not only cause she quit abrubtly, but because they truly love her and are concerned about her. So it seems only Tracy can answer why she left the band cause the rest of the band sure in the hell doesn’t know.

Ruyter asked me if I liked their “Katie” and I told her hell yes and asked her if the band liked her. Her response “oh fuck yeah!” She went on to tell me that they feel like things have actually worked out better for the band this way and described Katie as “a cross between Corey & Tracy, and after only her 3rd show with the band she is kicking ass.”

Last night’s show at the Colorado Music Hall did kick major ass. It seems like they get better with each show. The majority of the crowd last night were obviously there for The Reverend. Three songs into Nashville Pussys show, I had to go out into lobby for a second and there were a buttload of people out there just hangin around. I wanted to go up to each one of them and tell them they were missing one kick ass band. So I watched the crowd when I got back in the arena and they were just kinda standing there not sure how to react. By the middle of their set though, NP had obviously won them over as the crowd started moving and screaming. Katie gets better with each show. Ruyter rules over the stage every night, this night being no exception. Blaine is a BadMotherFucker period. Jeremy seems to effortlessly bash the drums like no other, proven by the way he splinters his drumsticks. I love it when Blaine talks between songs. Their new song,”Keep on Fuckin’, gets better every night. This tour is KICKING FUCKING ASS and I’m so fuckin’ happy to be here doing this. No matter how star struck I may get though, the only person that really gets me is Miss Chicky. She cuts me the deepest every night. I love you baby.

A few pictures from last night’s show…
