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!

New Press: Wussy Feature in Cincinnati Magazine
“The Ballad of Chuck and Lisa” by Jason Cohen, photographs by Jonathan Willis. Excerpt —- “Fifteen years later, Cleaver is still living in Cincinnati, and still playing in a celebrated Cincinnati band—assuming, it can be said with minimal hyperbole, that the group in question, Wussy, didn’t break up in the time it took this magazine to go to press. But if that happened, not to worry. The band’s implosions never last, and make-up records really are the best… Formed on a whim (and possibly a crush) by Cleaver and Walker in 2001, Wussy—which also includes bassist/multi-instrumentalist Mark Messerly and drummer Joe Klug—highlights her voice and writing chops as much as his. 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
