About Pussy Galore

Pussy Galore are the undisputed kings of trash rock. Formed in Washington D.C. in 1985, their largest body of work fell under the lineup of guitarist/vocalist/saliva factory Jon Spencer, guitarist Julie Cafritz, guitarist Neil Hagerty and drummer Bob Bert. Though assailed by critics for their blatant conceit and seemingly haphazard irreverence, Pussy Galore was one of the raddest bands that Punk has ever seen. Even at their worst, the band's vicious assault of messy, tri-guitar riffs (during 1986, Spencer's wife Cristina Martinez made four guitars), junky drums and what-the-hell-are-you-looking-at vocals had the remarkable ability to utterly offend those easily ticked off -- and inspire itchy middle fingers in the rest.
