Nashville Pussy Rocks Aspen

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 

We just got back from the Aspen show at the Double Diamond. We called it a early night and left right after NP played since we have to be up at 6 AM for our flight back to Atlanta. I wish we had one more day to explore Aspen because it really looked cool, maybe next time around.

I thought it would be hard to beat the crowd in Steamboat Springs but the crowd in Aspen proved me wrong. The club was small and packed shoulder to shoulder with people. I’m quite sure it was probably some kind of disco in the past because the stage was set up in what used to be a sunken dance floor. Real early 80’s style. I thought at first we might be dealing with another “beautiful people” crowd like we had in Vail. But they turned into moshing animals as soon as NP got cranked up.

We arrived at the Double Diamond around 9PM just in time for the sound check. Ruyter looked so cute in her racoon hat, glasses, and sheriff’s star pinned to her sweatshirt. It was really cold in the place and Katie was freezing. We saw her later all bundled up in her coat and red scarf before their set started. Sometimes just seeing stuff like a sound check can be real exciting to those people standing around watching it. They warmed up with “High as Hell” and it was so awesome.

After they finished Ruyter, Katie, and Blaine came over…talked for a few minutes and signed some cd’s for us. Thank you guys. And I just want to say HI to Ruyter’s mom…and let you know we got some great pictures of your girl and everybody else too for that matter. 🙂 And one other thing…she’s kind and sweet and plays guitar better than any man I’ve seen. And she’s funny…I’m sure she will tell you about the dog poop box which we looked for but could never find…

I have to mention one other thing I saw that made me smile to myself cause it reminded me of Jeff…and that’s while we were sitting there talking about silly stuff like dog poop and how expensive everything was in Aspen…Blaine gently rushed Ruyter to hurry up cause they had to get ready to go on stage. He was really so sweet to her.

The show as always rocked and was full of energy. They had to play a shortened set so the Reverend could get on by midnight I guess. They left out “Fried Chicken and Coffee”…dammit. Blaine was extra good with his between song stuff and he let out some screams that would make any metalhead proud. Katie looks more and more comfortable and she smiled a lot more tonight. Ruyter was her sexy ass kicking self as usual. And Jeremy just looked real happy to see a joint land on stage and eventually in his hand. And he directed a drumstick towards Jeff who now happily has a third one to join the pair he already had from two previous shows.

I’m sure there is a ton more I could write and probably will later on when we get back to Atlanta and things calm down. But right now I need to get in the bed and get some sleep. It’s been one exciting week and we wish it wasn’t over, but we’ll save up some more money and get back out there again soon to continue the Nashville Pussy chronicles…maybe the New York or Florida leg of the tour.

We took several little 20 second videos…but they are huge files. I’ll post one here and hopefully you can take a look at it. You will need Quicktime to view it. I’ll try and figure out how to reformat it when I get back to Atlanta.

In the meantime… NP Live in Colorado Springs.

Its snowing like a muthafucka in…

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…

Steamboat Springs-NP Night #4

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. This. Ruyter Suys and BMFOfficial 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.

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…

Nashville Pussy Chronicles...Keep On Fuckin

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.

2. Ruyter doin’ one of those awesome leg kicks right towards my face.
3. Ruyter walking over to me mid song, turning around & shaking her ass at me.
4. Some dumb ass threw a dollar bill at Ruyter at the end of the show, she picked it up, looked right at him, ripped it into pieces and threw it back at him along with the middle finger.
5. Realizing I’m living a dream with the girl I love the mostest.

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.

p.s. Bourbon…he’s sticking with the Bourbon.

The Morning After Pussy

Nashville Pussy SwagNashville 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!

Nashville Pussy Rocking it HARD in Vail

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

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.

a little brain dead

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.
