The Hussy is a two-piece psych-punk band from Madison, Wisconsin, USA formed by Bobby Hussy and Heather Sawyer in Summer 2008. On June 27th, 2008 the band played their first show. Their energetic live set caught the attention of Science of Sound Records who released the bands' debut 7" single in March of 2009. A handful of other 7" singles and cassettes quickly followed on independent labels in the US and Europe. On May 9th, 2011 the Chicago label Slow Fizz Records released the band's debut LP Cement Tomb Mind Control and distributed the record through Drag City. The band toured the East Coast and South on the record, gaining positive reviews for the debut LP and band's energetic and dangerous live show, eventually selling out first pressing of the LP. In March of 2012 the band's second LP, Weed Seizure, was released via Tic Tac Totally to strong reviews from The Onion, Maximum Rock N Roll, Raven Sings the Blues , and many more. The strength of Weed Seizure prompted the band gaining opening slots for sold out shows with Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, The Men, King Tuff and Nobunny. "Stab Me" from Weed Seizure was released as a 7" for the Bloomington, Indiana based label Eradicator Records. In August 2012 the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel picked The Hussy as a "Top 10 Wisconsin Band to Watch". They stated, "Kicks in the face. Guitars on fire. Catchy psychedelic punk that shakes you. Madison duo the Hussy is getting so good at what it does it may not stay underground for long." On September 28th, 2012 The Hussy performed at Gonerfest 9 in Memphis, Tennessee after being asked by Goner Records founder and Oblivians member, Eric Friedl earlier in the year.
