Anyway, Black Pussy is a band from Portland who have somehow managed to transcend both doom metal and ‘70s-style pop music and create what front man Dustin Hill calls “stoner-pop.” Their songs are catchy as hell, but so heavy you can feel your lungs booming, and come packed with a punch of an Everest-sized pile of Sunn amps behind them. I saw them play on NYE and some smug idiot snickered to his friend behind me and said, “I wonder how many of those amps are fake!” I turned around, stared deep into his soul for as long as I could, and uttered a very stern, “Absolutely none.” I cannot tell you how many times I have seen them play alongside the dirtiest of sludge bands, only to set up, swagger onstage in their (very scarce) ‘70s clothes and blow everyone out of the water.
