Here's a review of our January 9, 2019 show at The Basement.
Who Pussycat Doghouse Is
Four of the five members have music degrees, but agree that most audiences don't care if you can play an F# Tristan chord. Everything comes down to groove. If you can bob your head or tap your foot to it, it's good music. And if you can dance to it, that's better still.
Ashley Chapman and Kiran Gupta met at New York University and wrote a musical together as part of their Master's thesis. They went their separate ways after school, but each ended up in Nashville in 2015 and 2016 respectively.
G. Lee Worden earned his Diploma of Jazz at Vancouver Island University before becoming lead guitarist for Canadian star Ian Tyson. He plays guitar, bass, keys, and drums, and has toured and recorded with dozens of artists. He moved to Nashville in 2014.
In 2011, Patrick Mosser was teaching music in a Kentucky high school when his aunt, singer Jonell Mosser, talked him into moving to Nashville. The first musician she introduced him to was Bill Bois, whose band happened to need a sax player. That band became the award-winning jump jive quintet, Eight O'Five Jive.
How Pussycat Doghouse Met
When Nashville musicians want to meet other Nashville musicians, they go to the blues jams. The members of Pussycat Doghouse knew each other from the jams, and had played with each other in various combinations over the years.
Shortly after Eight O'Five Jive broke up, Patrick and Bill were at a blues jam wondering what to do next. Lee walked up to them and said, "Y'know, we should start a ska band."
Bill and Patrick looked at each other, then looked back at Lee. "Yes," Patrick said, "yes, we should."
Ten minutes later, Kiran and Ashley were on board, too. Without playing a note or writing any songs, they were a band.
No fuss, no muss, just a lot of energy and fun.
What Now?
Pussycat Doghouse's first and only album, "Bananas," was recorded in a single day, direct to tape with no click track, not much autotune, and very few overdubs. Listen to it on any of the major streaming service or download it at Bandcamp.
