Wussy Announce New Album And UK Tour

• 28th Jun 2012

Exclusively for Europe, this remastered 17-track release entitled, from Cincinnati, Ohio band Wussy will feature a selection of highlights from their previous albums, and will be the band’s first official International release. Buckeye will be released on 9th July 2012 via Damnably.

Chuck Cleaver (formerly of Cincinnati's Ass Ponys) and Lisa Walker began playing together in 2001 as a result of Cleaver’s stage fright when asked to perform a brief run of solo shows. The duo’s first performance was largely unplanned, and yet went without incident… so they agreed to continue and expand. Mark Messerly came on board in 2002 as bassist and utility man, with Dawn Burman joining on drums shortly thereafter. Joe Klug was added as drummer and multi-instrumentalist after Burman’s departure in early 2009. Not one, but two great singer songwriters complimenting each other on guitar and vocals over a pulsating thrum of drone-shoegazey spikey rock. The four-piece has released several albums and EP's on their native Cincinnati’s Shake It label.
