ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY
Questions answered by Bryan Cox/Alabama Thunderpussy march-2007
History?
**1996, Richmond, Virginia. On a dirt floor basement, Bryan Cox, Erik
Larson and Asechiah Bogdan founded ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY (ATP). Fueled by a
desire to play dirty, kick ass rock and roll, they honed their skills and
began assaulting the local circuit, sans singer. Shortly thereafter,
bassist Bill Storms joined ATP and after several failed attempts to find
the right vocalist, the band discovered Johhny Throckmorton and the
line-up was complete.
With a full band intact, ATP entered the studio and recorded a six-song
demo. One of these tapes landed in the hands of Frank Kozik of Man's Ruin
Records and an offer was made to release the demo tape as a CD EP.
ATP was already in the habit of constantly writing songs, and in the fall
of 1997 the band's first full length 'Rise Again' was recorded and
released in the summer of 1998. Between the recording and release of 'Rise
Again,' Bill Storms was asked to leave the band and Sam Krivanec quickly
filled the void. Inspired and invigorated by the new line-up, ATP returned
to the studio and recorded the 'River City Revival' LP (just prior to the
release of 'Rise Again' and it's subsequent southern U.S. tour), which was
released in the winter of 1999. Within a month of 'River City's...'
release, ATP was on tour supporting the album, which featured a stop at
the prestigious SXSW Festival where the band met with rave reviews. ATP
then headed back into the studio once again in August of 1999 to record
again and embarked on their first tour of Europe alongside High On Fire -
28 shows, 29 days and over 50 bottles of whiskey!
Summer 2000 heralded yet another return to the road in the form of full
U.S. and UK tours. ATP then delivered split EPs with HALFWAY TO GONE and
ORANGE GOBLIN and completed another full U.S tour with support provided by
SUPLECS and DIXIE WITCH. A line-up change brought guitarist Ryan Lake and
bassist John Peters to the fold, adding an entirely new dimension to the
band, enriching and filling out their sound with dual guitar leads and
utterly rocking harmonies.
In May 2002, ATP delivered ten ass-kickin' shots of "moonshine metal" on
their Relapse debut 'Staring at the Divine.' With the one-two punch of
low-end rumble and twin-guitar harmonies inspired by THIN LIZZY and JUDAS
PRIEST, and the do-it-yourself work ethic of their punk rock roots, ATP's
songs run roughshod over their contemporaries and straight through your
head. 'Staring at the Divine' served up the soundtrack to a whiskey-soaked
rumble and showcased ATP's outrageous blend of volume, distortion and
blazing hard rock. Continual touring commenced immediately upon the
release of 'Staring...' including high-profile appearances as part of the
legendary Wacken Festival (August, 2002), the
2002 Relapse CMJ Showcase in NYC and the 2003 Relapse SXSW Showcase in
Austin, TX.
Not long after this Johnny Throckmorton left the band, but ATP quickly
found a replacement in Columbus, OH native Johnny Weils. With Weils in the
fold ATP went on to record their fifth full-length album, 'Fulton Hill'.
'Fulton Hill' delivered maximum ATP with hard driving riffs and bruising
vocals with plenty of grit and dirt. Immediately following its release,
ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY hit the road in support of 'Fulton Hill'
completing headlining North American and European tours as well as going
out to support friends CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, CROWBAR, GWAR, and others.
During the middle of the touring cycle ATP had a little hiccup in the bass
position again, resulting in Peters being replaced by Mike Bryant. The
band continued touring relentlessly.
Following the band's last headlining North American tour of 2005, Weils
returned to his hometown of Columbus resulting in ATP resuming the search
for the perfect frontman. Enter Kyle Thomas...the smokin' pipes that once
fronted EXHORDER and FLOODGATE.
Thomas joined The 'PUSSY during the summer of 2006, right when the band
was piecing together riffs and beats for their next record. With the
confidence that came from the addition of Thomas, those riffs and beats
quickly became ravaging hard-rock songs with a tip-of-the-hat to classic
metal. Thomas added his vocals with a skill and range often not heard in
younger generation metal bands and ATP's sixth full-length record was
born, ready and aimed to showcase the band's growth and power. Taking no
hostages, it's time for 'Open Fire'
Please tell me a little about every member , age, family, interests, work(if the music isn´t your work) and something bad about every one?
**We're all in our early to mid 30s. Family is nobody's business. We're
all interested in playing loud music and drinking beer. I'm not going to
say anythng bad about anyone in my band because that would suck
Howcome that it became this sort of music?
**Because the other sorts of music suck.
To be on Relapse , how does it feels, are you feeling that you suit in good among the other bands?
**We don't fit in anywhere. Period. But Relapse has been really cool to
us, and for that I am grateful.
Favouriteband on relapse?
**Neurosis
My review of your record sounded like this:
ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY-OPEN FIRE(CD-RELAPSE RECORDS CD RR 6719-2) Relapse use to have heavy/tough/mad things in their luggage and I think that before I put this record on this isn´t any different thing. Wow; I only say when Alabama Thunderpussy do their record for me. Here we get a big doze of 70´s heavy metal mixed with Stooges/MC5 and that type of rock n roll. A singer which sounds really angry and this type of metal is really cool. You can really feel hwo they feel and their sound makes me feel like I´m into the music in some odd way. I go in regress and I feel like I´m really young again and I´m sitting in my boysroom and listen to dangerous music.(SEVEN)12/2-07
What about it?
**Sounds good to me! Thanks for a killer review.
Other bands you being compared to?
**I don't know. I'm sure you can go read a review or two and find some.
How would you describe your music in three words?
**Over The Hill
When you do music, which is most important, is it to have a good melody,good lyrics or to have a refrain that people remembers?
**All three are equally important.
The name where did it came from and does it got many comments through the years?
**Came from an old movie with a transvestite named Alabama Thunderpussy.
People comment but mainly just to ask where it came from.
Have you done anything more than Open Fire? How can I get it and how does it sounds?
**We've released 5 full-length albums previous to Open Fire. You can go
buy them on the Relapse website. They sound like Alabama Thunderpussy.
The typical fan to Alabama Thunderpussy...how does she/he look like?
**Not typical fans here. They're all different.
Is there any good bands in your homecountry now(which is your home country?
**I think you're asking me if there are any good bands in the United
States. And obviously the answer is yes. My favorite one would be ZZ-Top.
What do you know about Sweden? have you been here?
**Yes, we've been on tour there twice. Sweden is great!
Have you heard any good swedish bands?
**Yes! Entombed, Spiritual Beggars, Grand Magus, Dark Tranquility,
Dismember, Sunday Morning Einsteins, At The Gates, ABBA, the list goes
on...
Which is your relation to punk?
**Erik (guitar) was in AVAIL for 10 years. That's the extent of our
relation to punk.

** I enjoy it for the most part.
Which is the question you never get...please ask it and answer it?

seeing Rush live as my first concert was pretty special.
First, last and most expensive record ever bought?
**First, **Thriller last **Born Again
