Harry Pussy, noise rock band from Miami, Florida, USA

Not crap. Not something I want to put on every day, but they could scratch a particular itch when I had one.
I saw them in Houston once and I was legit scared the drummer (can't recall her name at the moment) was gonna jump out from behind her kit and attack one of us watching the show. She looked scary as shit!
Bill Orcutt is great. That Ride a Dove LP is great.

Really fun band. A lot of folks along the same lines make a mess, but HP made a fine mess.

Agreed. A lot of Skin Graft bands going for similar results were annoying to me, but HP leaned more towards Beefheart than grindcore or fake jazz.

I dig all that shit you mention to various degrees, but Harry Pussy's approach seemed like the best fit for the people involved. A lot of bands operating similarly might treat the results of playing together like raw materials and by the time they made a record, refine the excitement out of it by giving those sounds a firmer and more ordered kind of identity, but HP seemed to appreciate that whoever they'd appeal to would place a greater value on the clay and not the sculpture. That or they really didn't give a shit and that apathy simply flattered them. Truly noise-rock as opposed to noise-rock. Great stuff.

Possibly the funniest band name ever.

big fan!

*edit ohh you mean the band, I read that as


Nevermind

Terrifying in the best possible way

Never heard the band
But as a thing to bury my face in, NOT CRAP
