Nashville Pussy is not from Athens. Parks is trying to soak up some Georgia sun in order to fit in with the stripper scene by the time they play a showcase show for Epitaph Records in Los Angeles this month. Although the band members have been playing together for just over a year, the band has toured the U.S., attracted record label interest, and fired two drummers.
Parks plays bass guitar and breathes lamp oil fireballs for the band.
Blaine Cartwright, of Nine Pound Hammer fame, manhandles the guitar and vocals. The band has released two singles and plan to release another on Scooch Pooch Records. When they were in Austin last month, they recorded with Mike Miraconda, a producer known for his work with the New Bomb Turks. Ex-Phantom Creeps drummer Jeremy Thompson is currently being put through a serious workout as the band's new skinsman. Thompson approached the band in Austin, Tex., last month and promised to be on the front doorstep of the N. P. Manor on Barber Street, with his kit and suitcase in tow.
