Witchburn, Black Pussy, Objects in Space, LSD&D

[ROCK AND ROLL] Black Pussy—still Portland’s least Google-able band—has been a welcome boon more to the city’s live devotees than to its sequestered audiophiles. As should come as no surprise from a group that shares most of its membership with sludge-metal outfit White Orange, Black Pussy favors pummeling noise of the guitar-driven variety, though its heart remains faithful to the rawk posturing of the 1970s rather than the metallic violence of its sister group. On Blonde, the sextet’s debut LP, is a respectable specimen, but the group makes more sense in the flesh. Bedecked in leather, aviators and ascots and howling paeans to women, weed and wasted weekends, Black Pussy is just a hell of a lot of fun.
