Nashville Pussy.
Trucker cap rock fans watch out: It’s a larger-then-life double bill that the promoter promises will “tear Australia a new one” in a florid media release - and who are we to argue? The Supersuckers and Nashville Pussy are due in these parts in January. And of course they had to call the tour "Superpussy".
Nashville Pussy headlines Sydney (Manning Bar on January 23) and Adelaide (The Gov on January 26 ) with Supersuckers doing the honours in Melbourne (The Croxton on January 24) and Brisbane (The Zoo on January 25). Tickets go on sale on Wednesday here.

Nashville Pussy last toured Australia in 2022, memorably bringing down the curtain on the last night of Frankies Pizza in Sydney with crowds queued for blocks wanting to get in.
Raised on a diet of Marshall stacks, Gibson Guitars, Jack Daniels and weed, Nashville Pussy is the bastard offspring of foul-mouthed, demented, hillbilly, ice-cream man Blaine Cartwright and tractor driving, nude art school model and guitar prodigy Ruyter Suys.
Born deep in the Baptist Bible Belt of Kentucky, USA, Cartwright used the sounds of The Ramones and The New York Dolls to maintain sanity. Meanwhile in Vancouver, Canada, eight-year-old, hippie kid, Suys picked up her father’s guitar and started playing along with Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix.
“We got married on a dare, after dropping acid… Nashville Pussy is our baby,” says Suys.
The Supersuckers are described as "the bastard sons of Foghat, AC/DC, and ZZ Top after being weaned on punk rock” (credit to AllMusic). You might call them Cowpunk. They have a devoted following Down Under after numerous trips here.
The band consists of Eddie Spaghetti, Metal Marty Chandler and Christopher "Chango" von Streicher.
