Doors at 7:00PM, Show at 8:00PM
Ages 16+
Cincinnati’s Wussy bring their own signature brand of Ohio noise rock to the Woodward Theater for their first full-band headlining show in over four years. They’ll be debuting some new material, as well as reviving some of the old. Joining them will be special guests The Chris Brokaw Rock Band - featuring Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine), Clint Conley (Mission of Burma) and Luther Gray.
Cincinnati CityBeat: “A sort of Americana-tinged My Bloody Valentine.. The band's imminent eighth studio album of new material [is] quite possibly their best album yet.”
The Ringer: “The Ohio band has been quietly crafting one of the great rock catalogs of the decade.”
NPR: “Few bands since the Velvet-steeped heyday of the Feelies, Yo La Tengo and R.E.M. have abandoned themselves so completely to the ebbing, flowing currents of keening, droning guitars.”
Wussy are one of the most celebrated independent bands in the American Midwest, a group whose idiosyncratically thoughtful songs and atmospheric, forceful guitar attack have won them a fervent cult following and a growing stack of rave reviews. Built around the sweet and sour mix of vocalists Lisa Walker and Chuck Cleaver, Wussy came together in 2001 when the two singers and songwriters casually performed together at an event in their native Cincinnati, Ohio, and soon the duo expanded into a full band. In 2005, Wussy released their debut album, Funeral Dress, and while they toured and recorded at a casual pace, between excellent reviews and positive word of mouth, albums like 2009's Wussy, 2011's Strawberry, and 2014's Attica! found an audience as the band began to edge out of the indie rock underground towards the boundaries of mainstream recognition.
