October 22 – On This Day!

1987: Pussy Galore show at Cat Club, New York City, NY, US
w/ Sonic Youth and Black Snakes

“Pussy Galore uses three guitars, each contributing a different range of textures and a distinctive rhythm attack, along with Bob Bert’s unusual drumming, which combines trash-can sounds with swing and precision. The arrangements filter some of the most flashy British blues-rock stylings through an ironic post-punk sensibility. The riffs are taut, the music moves; chaos intrudes, but isn’t allowed to overwhelm the solidity of the riff structures.”
