PUSSY GALOREJON SPENCER, JULIA CAFRITZ, JOHN HAMMILL, NEIL HAGERTY
Deconstructionist, willfully offensive, hyper-aggressive thrash-rock band, went on to spawn
a who's-who of '90s indie rock bands. Pussy Galore didn't invent noise rock, but they
did change the way many musicians approached the notion of transforming chaotic noise
into music. Early on, most bands that embraced noise as an aesthetic either had an arty
world-view, a philosophical axe to grind, or some combination of the two. Pussy Galore,
on the other hand, simply embraced godawful racket for the hell of it, laying out willfully
primitive and technically ragged music drawn from '60s garage punk, gutbucket blues,
and several generations of attitudinal and misbehaving rockers (most notably
the Rolling Stones), all wrapped up in a simple but aggressive agenda of annoying
anyone within earshot, even those who had sympathy for their approach.
Pussy Galore were formed in 1985 in Washington, D.C.

It may seem hard to believe, but the intentionally crude, gleefully offensive
Groovy Hate Fuck represented something of an improvement over Pussy Galore's
inconsistent debut, Feel Good About Your Body. First off, these cats (and kittens)
were really just provocateurs -- or "poseurs" as the less charitable would have it, not punks.
They meant to make people mad, and they did, but there really wasn't anything
particularly dangerous about their music. It was more like a conceptual art piece
about teen angst. The song titles give the game away: "Teen Pussy Power,"
"Just Wanna Die," "Pretty Fuck Look," and more. Despite the off-putting title,
"Cunt Tease" is actually the best of the bunch; Jon Spencer spews a misogynistic
tirade over a lo-fi Cramps stomp while Julia Cafritz rebuffs each
outburst with a simple, "F*ck You!" ...(AllMusic)
