2/12/17 – Updated this post as every link was dead as dirt. – mc
At a The Damned show in 2002, Peters met future wife Corey Parks, who had just left her previous band, Nashville Pussy. Parks joined Duane Peters and the Hunns on bass guitar and soon the band changed their name to Die Hunns, recorded a fourth full-length album entitled Long Legs, Die’ Hunns, and embarked on another tour.
The Hunns playing “L.A. Doom” at Vinyl Solution record store in Huntington Beach CA. I think this was in July 2002. All I know is it was boiling hot in there, so July sounds about right. This was the Hunns’ first live show, waaay before Corey joined. Fans of the Humpers might recognize Mark Lee playing guitar. Hope you like it.
2/12/17 I updated this post because all the links are fatally busted. Fact is youtube did not exist when this was originally posted in 2002. But I’m happy it’s here now as both of these are stunning great! BMF would love it. Peace and love baby! Miss you every single fucking second.
“Nashville Pussy was all about decadence, sexy swagger, and slashing Southern rock – AC/DC with a worse attitude. It’s satisfying to report that the songs from the new disc, ”Say Something Nasty” cooked on all burners, landed a few snarling hooks, and suggested Nashville Pussy’s range goes beyond gimmickry.” [read more about the 6.4.02 show in Cambridge]
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.

Awww now who would have guessed Nashville Pussy are Led Zepplin fans?
Ruyter went one on one with Livewire’s Phil Bonyata sometime last month before they left on tour:
“Yes sir, I love 70s music. I don’t know, I dig real classic rock like Zeppelin. We’re all huge Zeppelin fiends! Lately, it’s been really bad. On the last tour we’ve been listening to the whole box set and listen to 10 hours straight of Zeppelin, then we start listening to the Black Crowes doing Zeppelin. It’s gotten really fucking bad about our Zeppelin, man. We’ve got about 50 hours of Zeppelin boots on the road with us. We have tons of Stones shit, too. We’ve been rediscovering the Who lately. I saw the Who in high school in something like ’84 or ’83 and they were quite amazing. That was their first last tour. We saw Tenacious D. We saw them play at South By Southwest two years ago. It was fucking great, it was like 1 in the morning and they were playing for about 800 drunks. About 200 drunks knew all the words, now everybody knows the words!”[read more]
Canadians love Nashville Pussy. Read a Say Something Nasty album review by Canoe.
“Yesterday at Buckingham Palace Ozzy, with secret guest Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi, played “Paranoid” in front of an audience of 12,000, as part of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. The Madman promised to behave himself, saying “I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in the Tower [of London]. I mustn’t drop my trousers, no bad language, or perhaps a trap door will open.” Princes William and Harry reportedly got their headbang on as father Charles looked on, perplexed by their nodding approval.”
I hope Zakk gets some advice from Nashville Pussy how to survive on the road before Ozzfest comes to Atlanta and that t-shirt site is cool. Funny how I used to crush on Ozzy now I just want him for my daddy. :)~
I took four cd’s with me down to Flordia. The three Nashville Pussy albums and a BMF mix consisting of Clutch, The Cramps, Iggy Pop, Dope, Slaves on Dope, Mary Prankster, Impotent Sea Snakes, Elvis, Gillian Welch, Dead Boys, Marilyn Manson, The Pixies, Zen Guerilla, and Nashville Pussy. I was told by a nineteen year old that she didn’t like any of my music, but instead wanted to hear the likes of Bright Eyes, Alkaline Trio, and Dashboard Confessional. I agreed we would take turns being I have such an open mind. After listening to 26 songs by Alkaline Trio I had to pull the plug. I inserted the first album, Let Them Eat Pussy, and clicked right over to the last track, “Fried Chicken and Coffee”. She almost got thru it before finally screaming “STOP! …it’s just noise. It sounds like trailer trash music!”.
I replied, “Exactly”.
Check out Nashville Pussy pictures from the Knoxville and Baltimore shows last week.
Rutyer says…
“All these guys with their lines — I’ve heard them all,” she says, laughing. “They usually start off with, ‘You know, I respect the hell out of Blaine, but …’ I get that constantly. I just tell them, ‘That’s OK, baby. I’m already getting laid.'” [read more – great article]

(updated by ~mc~ on 7/28/17 – goddamn time flies – and Nashville Pussy is still rocking it all over the world!)
Say Something Nasty is the new Artemis album by Nashville Pussy. Not surprisingly, NP singer/guitarist Blaine Cartwright declares in no uncertain terms that, “It’s our best one yet!”
But Blaine’s words are-to quote John Lee Hooker-“no brag, just facts.” This 15-track set of raunchy, high-voltage Southern guitar rock features the best songs and sharpest production yet from this Georgia-based quartet. Say Something Nasty includes such hilarious, hard-rocking originals as “You Give Drugs a Bad Name,” “Keep Them Things Away From Me,” “Beat Me Senseless,” and “Gonna Hitchhike Down to Cincinnati And Kick The Shit Outta Your Drunk Daddy.”
To record Say Something Nasty, Blaine explains, “we went back to Glasgow, Kentucky and worked with [producer] David Barrick. I knew him from my old band, Nine-Pound Hammer. David runs a small studio with big-time machines. He installed the board, he engineered all the sessions-he’s the whole show! He’s worked with a lot of up-and-coming bands, doing demos, and also with Kentucky Headhunters and with Bernie Worrell.”
The entire album took less than three weeks to track and mix. “Glasgow is in a dry county, which kept everyone concentrated,” notes Blaine. “It’s impossible to score any weed, and the nearest beer is 30 miles away. You can’t even buy a Playboy magazine! So the only place to go every day was the studio.”
Say Something Nasty contains 11 new songs written by Blaine Cartwright, although “I credit everybody because of their contributions.” Two other standouts are “Beat Me Senseless,” recorded for a Circle Jerks tribute album, and a blazing take on Johnny Winter’s “Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo.” “Say Something Nasty,” “Can’t Get Rid Of It,” and “Gonna Hitchhike Down To Cinicinnati And Kick The Shit Outta Your Drunk Daddy” also appear on a 3 song sampler that is being serviced to metal and rock specialty radio.
Formed in 1996, the current lineup of Nashville Pussy features Kentucky-born singer/guitarist Blaine Cartwright, lead guitarist Ruyter Suys (pronounced “Rider Sighs”), drummer Jeremy “Remo” Thompson, and bassist Katie Lynn Campbell a/k/a “Vampire Girl.” The band’s debut album, Let Them Eat Pussy, was released on Amphetamine Reptile in 1998 and later picked up by Mercury Records for national distribution. A track from that album entitled “Fried Chicken and Coffee” was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. Nashville Pussy’s second disc, High As Hell, was released in 2000 on TVT Records. Two cuts from High As Hell – “Wrong Side of A Gun” and “Shoot First and Run Like Hell” – were featured in the film Super Troopers and on the soundtrack album.
This is one “people’s band” that has garnered some surprisingly favorable press. Philadelphia’s City Paper called Nashville Pussy “arguably the funniest, raunchiest, most kick-ass group in rock today.” The Orange County Weekly wrote: “Nashville Pussy [are] a guilty pleasure-swaggering, menacing, hedonistic, riveting-yet they don’t come off as contrived�Part of their potency, no doubt, is that they’ve got excellent musicianship to back up the glimmer.”
For nearly six years, Nashville Pussy has virtually lived on the road. “Out of the last six months, we’ve been home for about three weeks,” says Blaine. “We don’t go home!” They’ve held their own in venues ranging from a Hell’s Angels festival in France to the 2000 “Tattoo the Earth” tour with Slipknot, Slayer, and Sevendust. During a European tour in the summer of 2001, the band managed the astonishing feat of playing four different European festivals within 40 hours.
Contrary to popular myth, the Nashville Pussy live experience does not include fire-breathing, live sex, or the open promotion and use of narcotics. (In the audience, maybe, but not on the stage.)
“All that stuff’s just a myth,” says Blaine with a chuckle. “It’s the kind of thing that always starts going around about any crazy, high-energy rock and roll show. When I was growing up, I heard that Alice Cooper killed puppies on stage. People swore they had seen this!”
“We just try to create a situation where you think anything can happen. We always have good shows in places like Indiana, where there’s nothing else to do.”
Perhaps the key line in Say Something Nasty comes from the anthemic, uproarious “Keep On’ Fucking,” in which Nashville Pussy declares, “you don’t have to be smart to understand.”
“That’s what this album and this band are really about,” declares Blaine Cartwright. “We rock for the stupid and the smart, and our audience runs the gamut every night. We’ll be closing with ‘Keep on Fucking’ for the next 20 years. We’re gonna shove this album up America’s ass!”[via Artemis Records]
Say Something Nasty comes out in Japan on July 24th with bonus tracks and will only be available thru the internet.[thanks countrystarr!]
