Hey all! Wussy and our friends the Sundresses will be playing in Lexington this Saturday December 5 along with Killer Meteor. We’re very excited to bring the full band back to the Green Lantern – one of our favorite stages to play! Thanks to the good folks at WRFL, CD Central, Boomslang Festival and the Green Lantern for making us feel so at home in Lexington.
The live Funeral Dress recording went well and we should have that in hand before too long!

It would be easier to split an atom than to separate the pair’s creative spark from their romantic life, which has been nuclear indeed. “What a *%#@ing nightmare it’s been!” says Messerly, without a trace of rancor.” read the rest
