Harry Pussy

1992–1997·Miami, FL

Bill Orcutt on guitar attacking the strings like he's trying to cut through something; Adris Hoyos on drums and vocals screaming over the top; short songs that feel way longer because your nervous system can't process them. Among the most extreme noise rock bands anyone ever recorded. Broke up in '97. Orcutt's subsequent solo career (especially the acoustic records post-2008) is as essential as Harry Pussy.

People

Bill Orcutt
guitar

Harry Pussy's guitarist — chaotic, scraping, attacking the instrument like it owes him money — and since the 2000s one of the most important solo guitarists in experimental music. The acoustic records post-2008 are as essential as the Harry Pussy discography.

Adris Hoyos
drumsvocals

Harry Pussy's drummer and co-vocalist. Bill Orcutt's creative partner. Her screaming over Orcutt's collapsed-bridge guitar is what made Harry Pussy terrifying in a way almost nothing else in 90s noise rock was.
