Raised on a diet of Marshall stacks, Gibson Guitars, Jack Daniels and weed, NASHVILLE PUSSY is the bastard offspring of foul-mouthed, demented, hillbilly, ice-cream man Blaine Cartwright and tractor driving, nude art school model, guitar prodigy Ruyter Suys. Born deep in the Baptist Bible Belt of Kentucky, USA – Blaine Cartwright used the Ramones and The New York Dolls to maintain sanity – meanwhile in Vancouver, Canada, 8 year-old, hippie kid Ruyter Suys picked up her father’s guitar and started playing along with Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix. “We got married on a dare after dropping acid, NASHVILLE PUSSY is our baby,” says Suys.
Hitting the road trippin’, NASHVILLE PUSSY quickly gained a reputation for being like “AC/DC with a female Angus” in Ruyter’s blues meets punk frenzied guitar solos and Blaine’s hilarious “jailhouse nursery rhyme” lyrics. Rowdy and unpretentious; NASHVILLE PUSSY got voted ‘best local band’ in opposite ends of the country their first year of touring.
