WUSSY - Pizza King (Live at KEXP)

Wussy presents a video mashup of their song "Pizza King" (from 2012’s Strawberry) set to scenes from Marcos Valle's 1980s "Estrelar" video.

“Before Wussy vocalist Lisa Walker uprooted to Cincinnati and co-founded one of America’s most critically acclaimed bands, she grew up bored and restless in Muncie. This droning slice of Midwestern ennui name-checks her hometown in addition to Terre Haute, Valparaiso, pay lakes, and the state’s greasiest homegrown pizza chain.” – Indianapolis Monthly

Also be sure to check Wussy’s live version of “Pizza King”, recorded at KEXP in 2014.

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

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.
