I believe we saw this band at 9 Lives Saloon (Atlanta’s Only Rock and Roll Club /as their website proclaimed and they were correct about that). Not sure of the date. They were hardcore punk like old school Black Flag
We went to the 9 Lives Saloon last night to check out “Artimus Pyledriver”. Look for a full review of the show on the review page. Not a lot been going on downtown here. We are still recovering from our Colorado trip with Nashville Pussy. We still have a lot of photos to post but haven’t gotten them all downloaded yet. Tomorrow night we are going to see DICK DELICIOUS at 9 Lives. Looking very forward to that one. Look for pictures and comments from the show tomorrow night or the next day knowing me.
THE BMF SHOW REVIEW!
Artimus PyledriverUPDATED Last night we went to 9 Lives Saloon to check out this band. I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I liked them. A lot. They rock very hard. The lead singer Dave reminded me of James Hetfield on speed when he was still cool. He had an intense stage presence that made me take notice. I couldn’t get that out of my head. The James Hetfield thing. They said it was their first show, but it was obvious these guys had been practicing. They also kind of reminded me of a country version of “Speedealer”. Which to me a good thing. Speedealer are cool as fuck but Artimus Pyledriver are cooler as far as I’m concerned. As I watched the band I couldn’t help but think of combines, and wheat fields and fifths of Jack Daniels. I would lay money down on odds that at least one of those guys can drive a combine and climb down and kick your ass for the fun of it. Their music as I said was hard as fuck, but it was cool as fuck too. They impressed me anyway. Still, you can tell that the more the band plays the better they will be so you can count on seeing me at the next show. To find out more about the band check out their bio on their website. Download a sample of one of their songs called “SWAMP DEVIL” here.(reposted from WHTRR Reviews)
8/16/20 I restored a few pictures found on the server at musicfilter.net and updated the page with BMF’s scattered posts about Artimus Pyledriver. I removed the referenced links in the review from 2002 since they were very dead. There are more original photos of this show, but I will have to find those on one of BMF’s computers some other day. 🙂 As BMF said in his 2002 review, we saw the band’s very first show at Atlanta’s infamous 9 Lives Saloon (closed for a long time). Looks like it would take another few years for them to put out their first and only album including the song “Swamp Devil” mentioned in the review. I think we saw them play another time on a ticket with Nashville Pussy. Check out Artimus Pyledriver on Facebook and take a look/listen to “Swamp Devil” @ youtube.(thank you baby – I found the #57 in that video) Southern hardcore goodness! ~mc~ #57bmf4ever
Although they take their name from a Nuge song and use a Confederate flag in their imagery, The Pussy’s politics ain’t god, guns, and gay-bashin’– they run both red and blue. In fact, on the band’s fifth album From Hell to Texas (SPV), they assail religion on “Lazy Jesus” (“God’s just a king with a lot less money”) and bash “The Late, Great USA.” “We walk the line,” Suys says. “The party we vote for is
the Party party.” The song, she continues, is about returning home from Europe to notice the little differences between here and there. “Some of the freedoms over there are different… like, you know, hash and nice, state-sponsored hookers.Then you come back to America, land of supposed freedom, and you’re not allowed to smoke 50 feet in front of a building and shit. It’s like, ‘What the fuck?”{read more}
