WUSSY - Beautiful (Live Session + Mashup Video)

in

Wussy performed live at Seattle’s KEXP studios on June 20, 2014. Here is their live version of “Beautiful” from the 2014 album Attica!.

“When I saw Wussy play ‘Beautiful’ at last year’s Nelsonville Music Festival, they stretched out the ending until the seams frayed; the mantra-like chorus, drone-fuzz guitars and strummed bass erupted like a lost Yo La Tengo outtake.” – Pitchfork

This is a very rough recording of Wussy initially arranging "Beautiful" in the practice space, captured on an iPad April 2013. Mashup video made with local WXIX commercials from the early 70's - which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmX_S...

WUSSY - Gene I Dream (Official Video)

in
Gene, I Dream by Wussy (Attica! / Shake It, Damnably) John Erhardt compiled some tour footage to send to CBS. They used some of it, but this is the original 4 minute reel. On a whim, we played it against Gene, I Dream and found it matched up perfectly Dark Side of the Rainbow-style.

Wussy is happy to announce the premiere of our video for “Gene, I Dream” from the album Attica!. John Erhardt compiled some tour footage for a segment on Wussy that aired on CBS This Morning. The network used a portion of it, but this is the original 4 minute reel created by John. On a whim, we played it against “Gene, I Dream” and found that it matched up perfectly!

More About “Teenage Wasteland”

  • Download from KEXP: Song of the Day.

  • SPIN’s Best Songs of 2014 (#55 Teenage Wasteland): “Title references aside, no band besides the Who is supposed to write songs that build this well.. If you’re not weeping by the time you get to the chorus — and it’s every bit as heart-burstingly exultant as you’d hope it would be, by the way — you need some more guitar-rock earnestness in your life, friend.” – SPIN

  • “Walker pays homage to the Who in first track ‘Teenage Wasteland’, a pop song that rivals its namesake. She references ‘Baba O’Riley’ and the band’s legendarily explosive Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour performance (‘When the kick of the drum went off like artillery fire’), but it’s less about classic-rock head nods and double entendres and more about capturing what it’s like to be a kid and finding a band you connect with on the deepest level imaginable.” – Pitchfork

Wussy performed live at Seattle’s KEXP studios on June 20, 2014, receiving the first ever Midday Show encore!

From KEXP: “We’re glad to see more and more listeners and critics take notice of the the Cincinnati band’s dynamic 90s-steeped pop-rock sound. And they’re as much fun to talk to as hear them perform, so it was no surprise that Cheryl would ask them to keep playing after their fourth song for the first ever encore on the Midday Show!”
