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.
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.
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.

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.
Tonight we are in Colorado Springs, where we are supposed to see our buddies we met in Vail, Kyle & Jake. I think I’m gonna switch from bourbon to vodka tonight. We got a new smart media card for the camera so we can now take over 80 pictures at a time. And we figured out how to make short movies so look for those too. All of our pictures and movies will be available when we get back to Atlanta and get them all linked up and stuff. We have some awesome ones already.
Till after the show…Viva La Vulva MF’s.

1. That unfuckinbelievable bartender remembering us from the night before and serving us in real glasses the whole night instead of plastic cups.
2. Sitting on barstools with our legs between each others, waiting for the show to start, and having one of those deep conversations we get into.
3. A dumb blonde coming up to me and asking if we are the ones following NP around and then telling me I have nice teeth. heh.
4. Jeff making me go to the front of the stage where I felt the whole floor shaking and saw Ruyter slide her hand(while playing the guitar)between her legs during “Fried Chicken and Coffee” on the lyric, I’ll Shoot Your Ass….oh that makes me hard. I loved that part…a lot.
5. I liked the dollar bill thing too cause it was such a cool “fuck you” to whoever threw it up there.
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. :)~~
It’s too easy to say Nashville Pussy played better tonight than last night. That in reality isn’t always the case…but I can truthfully say that tonight they were better than any time I have seen them live. They were louder, looser, and harder than not only the night before but anytime I have seen them up till now. Blaine sang clearer than I have heard, and they played in a manner that had all the “beautiful people” rocking hard as hell. The club was shaking, literally(more on that later) and they were not only soaking it in but pouring it out like no one in VAIL had ever seen or dreamed of. It’s time for some jeff pussy right now so more on the show tomorrow. This whole trip is SO MF AWESOME!. P.S. > we took a 24 second movie of the band tonight instead of pictures..lool for it tomorrow when we get up and around. And check out the top 5 bestest moments for me and misschicky of the show tomorrow too.

Some pictures from last night…we have about 30 more but BMF forgot his download cord…however he did remember Jack and Mr. Happy.
I’m up finally. Head is not however. Yes I almost let the Evan get the best of me last night. But it was a great time. Tonight I think it’ll be water for me but ya never know how I’ll feel later. My second time seeing NP last night was awesome, the first time seeing them as the openers for the show. They didn’t seem to shorten their playlist though. They opened their show with two new songs. I feel a little brain dead right now so I’m not going to try and be all journalistic and shit. I’m having a great time, and it can only get better.
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.
