Besides simply loving the name of this Cincinnati based band I love their loose scattershot indie rock. It’d probably be a cliche to say that Wussy sound anything but (more Wussy here, here). But that’s true. The band’s made up of half women but they are not wimpy or staid. They rawk with a capital W.
Btw have you heard the Pixies rumors? A new Albini produced album and possible tour. I lived through the Pixies era and was a huge fan, but I could give a shit that they have a new record coming out when there is music so vital being produced right now by bands like Wussy. They haven’t had a lot of blog love. In fact Each Note Secure (their hometown blog) is the only one who’s covered the new s/t record out now on Shake It Records.
I asked the band to send me any song from their new record since I was so confident I’d like anything on there. I was not let down by the B-52′s meets Chrissie Hynde rocker “Maglite” (I’ve got my crossbow, you’ve got your Maglite”).
The band comes to Chicago for a rare show at The Charleston in Bucktown on May 30. Check `em out.
