The show last night was the best one by far…my ears are still ringing…but more on that later. We gotta get out of here and get on the road to Aspen before we get snowed in…which would be great but then we would miss our last night of Nashville Pussy. And that ain’t gonna happen.
See you in Aspen…

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.
5 for 2.17.02 @ Colorado Music Hall
BMF 5
1. This. 
Official Photo Pass(find photo-found it! 8/23/20 at 2:30 am @ musicfilter tumblr)
2. Talking to Ruyter after the show, getting the info on Tracy, and Ruyter asking me to post the information on our website…(which she loves by the way.)
3. The security guards actually inviting me to get between the barricades to take pictures when usually they are telling me to get back. (see #1 for the reason why)
4. Getting another drumstick. Now I have a pair.
5. Seeing Blaine get real crazy into it…jumping up and down with the mike in one had, beer in the other, and the guitar strapped across his chest.
punkarella 5
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.

Nashville Pussy Swag
Ow my brain hurts a little this morning and I have a lot I want to say about Pussy love but right now I’m being a little rushed by my BMF here to get my ass in gear and get ready to leave for Colorado Springs.
At least I can post NP’s set list for the last two nights. It was the same both nights except they added “Let’s Ride” to last night’s show. I’m going to type the list the way it was written. I wonder who writes up these lists? Looks like a man’s writing.
Say Something Nasty – new song and it’s awesome
DrunkDaddy
Struttin Cock
Piece of Ass
She’s Got the Drugs – love this song for the riffs
All Fucked Up
Johnny Hot Rod
Shootfirst
High as Hell
You Give Drugs A Bad Name
Let’s Ride
Go to Hell
I’m the Man
Keep On Fuckin – new song that gets better
Fried Chicken and Coffee – my favorite 🙂
GO Muther GO
If I was a drunk dumb blonde watching a bar band I’d write two song requests on a little piece of paper and get the waitress to take it to Blaine. The two songs would be “DRIVE” and “Rock and Roll Outlaw”. And Blaine would actually smile – lol – and say in that real gruff voice of his “sure baby…this is for you”. And then he pours a bottle of beer all over my dumb blonde head. :)~~
Alright … alright I’m gettin ready!

Last night was my 5th time to experience Nashville Pussy. I admit the first time was the very best because the first time is always the best plus it left my ears ringing and my jaw dropping for two days. But each time since has been its own good experience. Like the time a sex store sponsored the show and strippers and porn stars were mingling around, or the time the guy threw up on my new shoes and I still felt sorry for him, or when I finally got to see NP with Jeff for the first time and some guy who claimed he played bass for James Brown kept feeding him Jagermeisters. I didn’t know if he would still be awake to see NP after that but he made it. Barely. So a NP show is always going to be eventful in some way. That could explain why we picked Nashville Pussy to be the first band to follow around for a few days. We had talked about doing it for about two years and finally just went for it. Or maybe we finally made the decision because Nashville Pussy’s first tour of 2002 opened in some of Colorado’s best resorts but mostly it was just cause of Nashville Pussy.
Nashville Pussy is the best live act going and last night was no exception. I can only compare them to Iggy Pop in terms of energy and playing to the crowd. That thought just gave me a fleeting fantasy. A Iggy and NP tour. Goddamn.
Last night we got to see Katie the new bass player. I spent my time watching her play. Maybe because that’s the side of the stage I was sitting on…tonight I plan to be on the other side. It was obvious everyone was trying to make Katie feel comfortable especially Ruyter who had Katie by her side before and after the show introducing her around. But Katie looked pretty comfy to me once they started playing. I’d say her stage style is very similar to Tracy Almazon’s style, kinda reserved and laid back. Even though some guy there told us the last time NP played the 8150 Club Tracy was spitting water at the crowd! Oh wooo. But who knows…maybe Katie just had first night jitters and her wild side will come out soon. After all she was a Vampire once upon a time.
I just have to add that no matter how many bass players NP goes thru, and I’ve seen all three now, the NP experience will always be about Ruyter and Blaine. Sure, it was great when Corey was there because she was so stunning and kinda cartoonish in a sexy way and it was pretty cool she could breathe fire and all, but it’s Ruyter your eyes always travel back to…that girl has the goods and it’s not just a novelty.
That other band playing,The Reverend Horton Heat, seemed pretty damn good too. The Vail frat boy/dumb blonde type crowd was really into them. I think I’ll be sipping plain water tonight so I can stay for the whole show and really hear their music with an untainted mind.

Arrived about an hour ago in Vail…the drive was awesome. Snow, big mountains, skiers down the big mountains on the side of the highway. The beautiful people. We are staying in the cheapest hotel in Vail at $150.00 per night. It’s real…ummm…cozy. But right now that’s not so important because we just called the 8150 Club to find out about tickets for the show tonight. We were told people were standing in line for tickets and they were almost sold out.
But true to their word … Nashville Pussy put us on the guest list. And they were at the club doing sound check when we called and told the guy we were good to go. They rock don’t they?
Heading out to explore Vail a little before coming back to get ready for the show. Well I’ll be getting ready…Jeff says he’s ready right now. And he’s smoking a lot of Winstons so he must be getting excited.

What a fuckin night. I’m packed, powdered, and too damn excited to sleep although I know I’ll pay later. No matter…I’ve got a whole day to get ready for the first two nights in Vail. We leave Atlanta in approximately 5 hours.
Just got the Nashville Pussy Valentine Edition newsletter in e-mail. I was happily reading along when all of a sudden I see a link to this website. Fuck me. Thanks guys. Its a labor of lust truly. :)~
Everybody knows I love Vampires.
p.s. thanks to Smokie for being a doll.

2002: “This is the motherufuckinrocknrollistsonofabitch rock and roll band I’ve EVER seen. I’ve seen Everyone by the way……if you want real dirty lusty sweaty rock..this is the band to see.”
2001: “Sex and drugs play a very prominent part in NP’s visuals and lyrics. And most prominent is Ruyter, NP’s lead guitar-playing Goddess, with singer/rhythm guitar/husband Blaine at center stage. I bought their first single back then, and still buy their records. Their sound has slowed down from their early Punk roots and now is more 70s Hard Rock oriented, without sacrificing one bit of snarling power and still maintaining a big-ass Punk attitude and edge.”
2000: “Nashville Pussy have got a mission that transcends the whining, griping and moaning of “alternative” rockers. They are here to bring back what was originally so appealing about rock and roll in the first place. Fun, danger and SEX. But they don’t just talk the talk, they rock the walk!”
1999: “Nashville Pussy is superior to Manson, because its act doesn’t depend on props and production values, like feathers, smoke and costumes, but is embedded in the bandmembers’ very being. Just their walking on stage is a visual jolt, as is the femininity of the lead instrumentalists. Feminists have long wanted to infiltrate rock & roll’s boys’ club, and frankly Parks and Suys’ attempt, lesbian licks and all, is a hell of a lot more convincing than Courtney Love’s effort at playing movie-star-cum-rebel.”
1998: “Best live punk band in the universe right now. A blistering metalpunk subterfuge exploding from two scruffy rednecks and two X-rated babes that champions Nugent, Kiss, Motorhead and the Cro Mags. Hotter and sexier than Gene Simmons’ spittin’ fire at a strip joint.”
1997: “Once upon a time, on a humid July evening in 1977, Ted Nugent stood on the stage at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium with his guitar in his hands, and to thousands of sweaty, riled-up fans, he wailed out, “This is a love song. I’d like to dedicate this to all that N-a-s-h-ville pussy!” He then busted out his song “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang,” like a charging rhinoceros with its tail on fire. Nineteen years later, in March of ’96, four particular Nugent freaks decided to form a band, lovingly named “Nashville Pussy.” Stepping into Nugent’s footprints, as well as Mother Nature’s for that matter, these Pussies were born to rock with a rhino’s cock.”
1996: Nashville Pussy (featuring ex-members of Nine Pound Hammer) scared the fans with its abrasive punk. -Sleazefest ’96
