NASHVILLE PUSSY - "In Our Own Form Of Rehab"
September 16, 2009, 15 years ago
NASHVILLE PUSSY guitarist Ruyter Suys has issued the following update:
"We are currently in our own form of Rehab, ie taking a break from the MOTÖRHEAD/REVEREND HORTON HEAT tour - as Nashville Pussy was officially uninvited to play Disney's House Of Blues (even though we've already played there).We decided to take the one show in five days as a vacation and come back to Atlanta while the tour plays on in Florida. We start driving again tomorrow to get to Texas where the tour picks back up in Houston, Dallas and Austin... etc.
The Global Warming Tour (as Motörhead calls it) is going Fanfuckintastically. Meeting up with Motörhead after nine years since your last real tour with them was like slipping into an old pair of sneakers; comfortable, makes you feel good and slightly smelly.
The big news was Mikkey Dee was leaving the tour to do his reality show and was to be replaced by Matt Sorum. We got to hang with Mikkey and watch him kick extra ass (as Matt was watching) and when Matt took over in D.C. In fact we had a day off and Motörhead had to practice! So far so good -not only is Matt a super cool dude with lots of good stories, he's also a quick learner and has managed to fill Mikkey's Swedish shoes with some seriously rocking ones of his own! In fact I would have to say the whole set has gotten a little more 'Rock n Roll'. It's fun watching Lemmy and Phil Campbell adjust to the new style - everyone is diggin it!
We have run into some cool old friends like Mike Inez from BLACK LABEL SOCIETY/ALICE IN CHAINS/HEART. The boys from VALIENT THORR, PRIESTESS, VOIVOD, our old bassist Katie Lynn Campbell, Sean from WHITE ZOMBIE, Chris from SUPAGROUP, Nikki Corvette and Amy from the GoreGoreGirls, A pack of the Sirens, Daniel Rey and so on and so on...
Nashville Pussy is on Twitter! Someone has our name already so we are under the moniker BashfulPuppy. It's a great way to let us know what's up and keep y'all in touch with instant updates. Sign up and follow us on our adventure.
There is a new Motörhead/Rev/Pussy Calgary show being added on the 27th and a Nashville Pussy Halloween show in Denver.
It's been great meeting all of you who have come out on this tour at the merch booth after our show- we can't wait to meet the rest of y'all."
