Slow September
September is gonna be slow. As in full of slow fizz.
The Hussy return to Chicago after breaking U of C and almost burning down Crown Tap. On September 1 they will headline that little venue in the barrio called Panchos. Not only will you be able to see the full force of Wisconsin through the visage of two degenerate savages with Melrose Place names like Bobby and Heather, but two of Chicago’s finest will be testing you testes as well. Since Birth broke up because that dude Mike is going to California to be a fucking doctor, sister band Den is now the defacto noise maker in the chuck city. Good thing they rule. Axis: sovA comes from another planet, one with all the terrible things our planet has like isolation, electricity and bath tubs, but with a groove unknown to this atmosphere…at least the post-1984 born atmosphere. The other two bands I don’t know, so sit and spin. Or show up for all and die by the time The Hussy kill.
Then, as if a Thursday of murder wasn’t enough, shit is gonna get weird at the Hideout on Saturday, September 3rd when Grimble Grumble announce their return to your face with a records release show for FIZZ03! We’ll be there selling the new record, September Sun, which has a limited number of colored vinyl available at the show. Get it first this Saturday! Special surprise for you all, Slow Witch opens!
JON TYLER VERSUS THE VIKING!
You know when you’re all like great, then you’re like no. Fuck a van. Can’t we travel in tubes? Well Times New Roman, I am switching to Verdana. Wait! What ever happened to love? Ah! Love! Yes, I forgot about love for a second. I do love love, love. Totes. So I’m taking it all back. All four sentences of that Teenage Lust. Slow Fizz is around for love not Hate Hate Hate. Unless its the kind that makes us hand-over-face get our rocks off. So Tanya tells me via Andykins.
Now, about last night. Demi Moore was good in that movie, Rob Lowe was a bitch and Belushi did a good job looking like his brother but with blood running through his veins and not buried.
But TONIGHT! The best thing to come outta Columbus since mothafucking SOVA will be joining Tyler, Jon and Tyler for a sure to be cool fashion show. Two ladies on stage?!?!? Oh my god yes! Dibs on the white one. But Rebecca “I’m not from Mexico” V-F is cool. If Tom would give that hand job he promised I wouldn’t have to wait around for Nathan to pass out to get off. Either way Tonnie is setting me up with some single moms so we’re good.
Times New Viking – Tyler Jon Tyler – Dusty Bibles @ Empty Bottle tonight Wednesday June 29th, 2011. I want to see you there and trade rounds cause the 30th is tomorrow and, well, money just doesn’t come every day, man.
Hussy in Rocktober, on Chic-A-Go-Go…kinda.
Fucking rocktober, man. They always know what to say: “Best thing created in Wisconsin since they constructed the turrets on the Mars’ Cheese Castle.” If you’ve never been to Wisconsin, you are missing a lot. Like the Dells. My house is filled with Kohler faucets and I only wear Oshkosh B’Gosh janyes mayne. And the new castle is below. yeah. whoa…for chedda sake.
and The Hussy were in Chicago for WHPK’s summer breeze fest, so they did an episode of Chic-A-Go-Go. It is probably the worst episode ever, phoned in like a muh.
Hussy with Radar Eyes and Strychnine tonight at Crown
Tonight at crown liquor tap dump L’Amour salon. Hussy, Radar Eyes, Strychnine. And new music from all. Let’s get hey and go.
Get yer Hussy
Fresh off a couple of shows in Chicago and a billion others everywhere else, The Hussy’s debut LP is available for possession. On June 1st you can go to Amazon or iTunes and download it, but you can get the physical LP right here at our online shop. Like now. Go over there.

The Hussy Record Release Show
yeah yeaah yeea. Tomorrow is turkey day and its not even November, man. The same band that brought the ceiling down at the University of Chicago a couple weeks ago will bring the loud stuff to the good-old-fashioned-nothing-valuable-enough-to-break home we call the empty bottle. The Hussy at the Bottle. Thursday May 26. It’s a perfect way to kick off what should be a Blacked Out weekend.
We’ll be there selling the LP for $10 then next week it’ll be on this site right here for just a bit more. So if you’re around tomorrow, save on postage and fuck on over to Western Avenue and pick one up. Its a hot cut they say. 12 inches of big black wax spinning at an impossible 45 are pee ems! yep yep yep. Did we say its a hot cut? Cause its loud, too.
And people already like it. Bobby Hussy has some correspondence ship to shore style on his site: Kind Turkey
Slowly fizzing as usual on everything so get with us if you want something or whatever.
