Comment
WINNIPEG -- The name is Nashville Pussy. The band's bassist breathes fire on stage. And every song on the group's one and only album is laced with profanity.

But while it's an older and wiser Nashville Pussy that Peggers will see tonight at The Pyramid -- one that covets some "respectability" -- don't expect to see a dramatic shift to mainstream rock for the hardcore quartet that took its name from the Ted Nugent song Wang Dang, Sweet Poontang.

"We'll keep doing what we're doing, and something is gonna hit hard," says singer/guitarist Blaine Cartwright. "Sometimes it's the song you least expect."

The band hopes that song will be in tonight's show, which will feature tunes from their upcoming second album -- a collection that has been penned to include potential singles, Cartwright says.

"The first one was done in a basement, it was an independent record. There was never a thought that it would get picked up and re-released. We were just doing our set," he explains, noting in hindsight, the band might have gone a little easier on the four-letter words. "That's the main problem with what we do, with radio being as conservative as it is."

But while Nashville Pussy might ease up on the nasty language, don't expect the Atlanta-based rockers to soften their hard, guitar-driven sound. And bass player Corey Parks still breathes fire.

"She breathed fire before she was in the band. It's just a little extra incentive to get people in there, to make us stand out," he says, downplaying the group's stage antics, which led to the recent arrest of guitarist Ruyter Suys, who was charged with battery after trying to climb on the shoulders of a security guard.

"The guy just took it too far," says Cartwright, who is married to Suys, a former groupie he fell in love with seven years ago while playing with his old band at the Albert in Winnipeg.

"We love Winnipeg. It's one of our favourite cities in North America. The audiences are really cool. It's the right combination of people being hungry for what we do, and wanting to have a good time."

Tickets are $12 in advance at TicketMaster, Pyramid and Music Baron; $15 at the door.
