"Imaginea Yo La Tengo too tight to get cute or far out, dispensing a Velvet Undergroundderivative, fluent enough to warm the erectile tissue of anyone with a thingfor guitar drones.” Rolling Stone4/5
“I consider Wussy the best band inAmerica ... just about every one of the 46 songs on those five albums: Funeral Dress, followed by Left for Dead, Wussy, the unplugged start-to-finish remake Funeral Dress II,and Strawberry. We're talkingBeatles-Stones consistency here.” RobertChristgau
“Recalling a roll call of adventurous boy/girl-styled indie bands – Yo LaTengo, Handsome Family, X – Wussydraws on plenty of yin/yang sexual and existential tension, a charminglyshambling, rough-hewn sound, and an army of alternately droning and janglingguitars on their sharpest outing yet.” Uncut ****
ChuckCleaver (formerly of Cincinnati's Ass Ponys) and Lisa Walker began playing together in2001 as a result of Cleaver’s stage fright when asked to perform a brief run ofsolo shows. The duo’s first performance was largely unplanned, and yetwent without incident… so they agreed to continue and expand. Mark Messerly came on board in 2002 asbassist and utility man, with DawnBurman joining on drums shortly thereafter. Joe Klug was added as drummer and multi-instrumentalist afterBurman’s departure in early 2009. Not one, but two great singersongwriters complimenting each other on guitar and vocals over a pulsatingthrum of drone-shoegazey spikey rock. The four-piece has released severalalbums and EP's on their native Cincinnati’s Shake It label.
