Nashville Pussy - Live Photos from Rocks Off Cruise, NYC 4-8-10

Nashville Pussy kicked off the 10th Annual Rocks Off Concert Cruise Series with a headlining set. The band is on the road with the Parental Advisory tour which runs through May with Psychostick and Green Jelly (tour dates below).

Nashville Pussy's set was the perfect way to end the night as the band continues to be one of the prime purveyors of Southern fried, good-time, beer drinking rock n' roll. The band's most recent disc From Hell to Texas was released just about a year ago and Metaleater said that if this disc "was released in 1975, Nashville Pussy could have zapped ZZ Top and tampled Ted Nugent."



Here is a recent live video from Nashville Pussy which was filmed this past February.

Green Jelly - Live Photos from Rocks Off Cruise, NYC 4-8-10

Punk/comedy band Green Jelly reunited in 2008 and released a new disc, Musick to Insult Your Intelligence By, in 2009. The band is currently out on the "Parent Advisory Tour" with Psychostick and Nashville Pussy which runs through the end of May (tour dates below).


Here is a quote from Bill Manspeaker/Moronic Dictator on the band's reformation "..AND THEN ONE DAY I WOKE UP WITH A HANG OVER AND SEVERAL NAKED GIRLS KISSING AND I SAID TO MYSELF...DUH SILLY MONKEY DONT YOU REMEMBER THAT YOU PUT ON SILLY PUPPET COSTUMES AND SHITTY ALBUMS FOR A LIVING...

SO I GOT OUT THE OLD COUCH CUSHION PUPPETS AND I PUT THEM BACK ON MY HEAD....IT WAS A LOT FUNNER THAN WRESTLING DOWN DRUNK STUPID PEOPLE AT MY CLUB....I THINK I GOT A LITTLE TOOOO CAUGHT UP IN CREATING A HOLLYWOOD UNDERGROUND MUSIC/ART WORLD THAT I FORGOT ABOUT MY OWN UNDERGROUND WORLD OF ROCK N ROLL PUPPETS.....

SO NOW THAT I REMEMBERED THAT I AM AND ALWAYS WILL BE A PUPPET ...I AM PLAYING THIS BROKEN WRECKERD ONCE AGAIN....27 YEARS AND 238 BAND MEMBERS LATER GREEN JELLO STILL SUCKS....I AM VERY PROUD OF THAT...SO HERE I GO AGAIN...WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE RIDES I HAVE RIDDEN I THINK I LIKE THIS TRAIN WRECK OF A RIDE THE BEST....GREEN JELLO SUXX....LATER..MORONIC DICKTATOR"









Here is a live video of "Three Little Pigs" from a recent show at Jaxx in Springfield, VA.

Psychostick - Live Photos from Rocks Off Cruise, NYC 4-8-10

Crazed beer metal band Psychostick kicked off the night on the first 2010 Rocks Off concert cruise. The band is currently off on an April - May tour with Green Jelly and Nashville Pussy (tour dates below) and the band's most recent release, Sandwich, came out in 2009.

Psychostick's MySpace profile describes the band as a "Beer is good and stuff band" and this quote fits well with the band's lyrical outlook on life. The band has songs about beer, Jagermeister, first jobs and more - all of which comes off as sort of a cross between The Meatmen and Green Jelly. What is refreshing is that the band's sense of humor doesn't substitute for their music abilities (Hello Shat) and Psychostick has the punk/metal chops to keep their music engaging.









Here is a live video from Psychostick from the current tour along with upcoming tour dates.

Godhead Plays Rebel Tomorrow Night with American Head Charge and Bleed the Day

Godhead seemed to suffer the curse of a lot of Baltimore/Washington, DC bands. They had great material and a great stage presence but never seemed to get that break that would push them out of the clubs and into the arenas. I still lived in Washington when Godhead formed in the mid-90s and I believe (though memory fades as I get older) that Miller was a bouncer at the 'old' 9:30 Club.

The last time I saw the band was when they opened for Genitorturers at L'Amour in 2001. The band seemed to lay low for a number of years after Marilyn Manson's Posthuman records folded (shortly after the release of the band's 2000 Years of Human Error CD) and I don't think they have been back to the East Coast more than a small handful of times.

This looks like a great show tomorrow night as all three bands put on a killer live show and none of them come through the area that often. Tickets are only $15.

There are more details about the show on the Rocks Off Presents website (link).
