  Ink 19 :: Pussy Galore
I'm talkin' about the punk rock'n'roll band that, to many, serves to defines a great deal in terms of musical taste and attitude -- Pussy Galore.
Pussy Galore is Jon Spencer in the prime of madder, looser, and louder days/daze.
Live does a good job of capturing the pure, hell-on-wheels, attitude-over-skill blues punk of a fuckin' amazing band that is no more, and would make a great primer for those who are not so familiar, and an asset to those already in the know.

  Royal Trux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American rock band Royal Trux during their career from 1987 to 2000, was one of the most controversial bands on the underground rock scene, gaining their reputation in equal measures from extreme musical experiments, an outspoken lifestyle based on lots of hard drugs, sometimes outrageous stage performances, and ever-changing musical directions.
In either case, the band was completely aware of their public image and used it purposely throughout their career.
In his time in Pussy Galore, Hagerty was among other things responsible for talking his band mates into releasing a cassette-only remake of the Rolling Stones album Exile on Main Street, in whole.

 Pussy Galore (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pussy Galore was an American noise rock band that formed in Washington D.C. during 1985.
The band's earliest incarnation consisted of guitarist and vocalist Jon Spencer, guitarist Julie Cafritz and drummer John Hamill though this line-up would be subject to both change and expansion in later years.
Their final release for Caroline Records, the full-length set Dial M for Motherfucker, was released in 1989 and continued their formula of nihilistic guitar noise and punk rock provocation.

This is the kind of band that Pussy Galore were: the best thing about 'em was their album covers and their song titles.
As befits a band whose source material was largely discarded singles, Pussy Galore might have been the first significant rock-and-roll group whose entire recorded output sounded like outtakes.
Thing is, Pussy Galore were never viable enough to provoke anyone outside their insular corner of rock and roll, and by 1989 the illusion of their revolutionary offensiveness had greatly dissipated -- the big culturally important obscenities in America were going on in hip-hop, where 2 Live Crew were kicking up a storm.

The duo formed Boss Hog to fill a last-minute cancellation at the famed CBGB's, earning instant notoriety when Martinez performed their debut show au naturel; guitarists Jerry Teel and Kurt Wolf, bassist Pete Shore, and drummer Charlie Ondras completed the line-up for 1989's cassette-only Drinkin', Lechin', and Lyin'.

 Sonic Youth - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Initially inspired by the noise experimentation of Glenn Branca--with whom most of the band have performed--as well as the heavy garage rock-acid-rock of The Stooges, they were known for using a variety of unorthodox guitar tunings, and for applying screwdrivers or other preparations to guitars to alter the instruments' timbre.
Supposedly their name mocks the preponderance of bands with the name 'youth' in the title in NYC in the early 1980s.
The band was busy working on their 2002 album Murray Street in their NYC studio during the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Occasionally, the word kitty, which is a synonym for pussy in the second sense of the word, is also used as a less-vulgar sounding alternative for pussy in the sexual sense as well.
The word pussy can also be used derogatorily to refer to a male who is not considered sufficiently masculine (see Gender role).

Surprisingly, with all of their hip attitude and condescending, arty indifference, Pussy Galore was capable of creating some great trash rock.
Really the only difference between good Pussy Galore music and bad is that the latter is boring and the former is not -- that is unless you have an extremely high tolerance for low-rent nihilism.
Still, for a band that no one predicted would have a long life, Pussy Galore turned out many interesting side projects and bands since their demise in 1990.

 Gadfly Online.
Neil Hagerty, Pussy Galore's other six-string player, started making music with his partner Jennifer Herrema under the name Royal Trux as his main outfit was imploding under the weight of personal friction.
And while they have left the basic sound of Pussy Galore far behind in search of new territories, they have kept the forward motion of experimentation going in a way that their former bandmates—and precious few other rock bands—do not.
In their defense, the band produced it themselves, so no one can claim that their vision was polluted by corporate bigwigs.

Something happened to me while I was in college that led me to Pussy Galore and their all-out reckless, groovy, noisy, can-banging style of sweaty, sexy, fuck-me-now, fuck-me-now, yes-do-it-to-me rock.

 Cristina's biography
Within three months of Pussy Galore's formation, the group had already played every Washington's rock club and felt that the capital was a "dead end" and a "loser town".
She was supposed to attend the N.Y. University Summer Film program but, shortly after, she dropped and officially joined Pussy Galore as 3rd guitarist, an instrument she barely handled (but after all we are talking about "noise"-punk).
On the spur of the moment they decided the new band's name, "Boss Hog", which was taken from a biker magazine (not from the "Dukes of Hazzard" TV show, as is usually assumed).

Band names are such a ubiquitous part of the cultural landscape that you might even be numb to them by now: Sure, you hear the names, but you never give a second thought to what they mean or whether they’re good names.
Even if you haven’t heard of 70 percent of these bands, we guarantee that each and every one is (or was) real — with the obvious exception of an accompanying article on the art of making up band names for fictional bands.
And that’s just as it should be: Band names have to work on multiple levels — for the casual observers who don’t care where the name came from, as well as for the crazed fans who care enough to research a band’s name.

Pussy Galore are the undisputed kings of trash rock.
Though assailed by critics for their blatant conceit and seemingly haphazard irreverence, Pussy Galore was one of the raddest bands that Punk has ever seen.
Even at their worst, the band's vicious assault of messy, tri-guitar riffs (during 1986, Spencer's wife Cristina Martinez made four guitars), junky drums and what-the-hell-are-you-looking-at vocals had the remarkable ability to utterly offend those easily ticked off -- and inspire itchy middle fingers in the rest.

Pussy Galore are one of my all time favorite bands and I missed them every time they played in DC, I missed them when they played on my damn college campus (note- this was 86 and they were just getting started and I was 18).
At the time people told me they were an art/noise/goth band influenced by the Swans.
But in reality they "sound exactly" like a bluesy punk/garage band that threw up on tape.

Pussy Galore were like the world’s most anti-social teenager.

As with Royal Trux, the other band to emerge after the breakup of Pussy Galore, the Blues Explosion's earliest recordings are virtually incomprehensible (and impossible to find).
It was with the the Blues Explosion's 1992 self-titled release that the band began to write semi-coherent songs: Spencer adopted an imitation blues vocal style, and the band riffed wildly and crashed around him in a bluesy sort of way.
Live, the band was (and remains) quite a show, generating the kind of sweat and excitement that became anathema to many punk and post-punk bands.

Time would prove that Christina Martinez was no third guitarist for anyone, and when things with Pussy Galore eventually got rocky Boss Hog was born with Martinez in the spotlight.
To be sure, the band that resurrected rock n' roll for a new generation of angst-ridden teenagers with the 1987 release of their astonishing full-length debut, Appetite for Destruction, was dead, slain by a lethal combination of drugs, oversized egos and internal feuding.

Making their intentions clear with the indescribably manic garage stomper "Pig Sweat," which kicks off this 1987 album, Pussy Galore proceeds to mash it up dumpster style with 19 minimal short players riddled with the best elements from the Stooges, the Cramps, and the band's own askew, Lower East Side world view.
Immensely satisfying and generally disturbing, too, the band delivers a surprising range of moods in the midst of the monolithic beats, out-of-focus production, and pervasive punk snarl; the mix veers from the Velvets-like rockabilly thrash heard on "Biker Rock" and the hard, psychedelic slab of "Loser," to a handful of Sonic Youth and Fall knockoffs.
Several bands were big enough to play arenas, and many even earned gold and platinum albums.
