'90s Noise Rock | “A Record Is A Record” Superior Viaduct Pop-Up Shop

Check out a free live performance by Bill Orcutt of former Miami noise rock band, Harry Pussy.

Harry Pussy was a noise rock band from Miami, active from 1992 to 1997. The main members were Bill Orcutt on guitar and vocals and Adris Hoyos on drums and vocals. The often violent and sexually charged music of Harry Pussy is still well-regarded and highly influential in the noise and noise rock scenes. Bill Orcutt’s guitar playing was almost exclusively atonal, and performed on a four-string guitar. – Wikipedia
