Hear Pearl Jam's Mike McCready Guest on New Thunderpussy Song

solo to one track.

Seattle's Thunderpussy have won a lot of local fans since they formed in 2013, and one of those is Mike McCready. The Pearl Jam
guitarist is so taken with their sound, which blends classic-rock
muscle with soulful vocals and punk energy, that he agreed to produce
their debut seven-inch – and even make a cameo appearance on the track
"Velvet Noose," premiering here.
The
song builds from a dance-y verse to an anthemic chorus, on which
vocalist Molly Sides belts out, "Can you hear me breathing?/When you
watch me swinging/From that velvet noose." According to guitarist
Whitney Petty, the title "was gleaned from a Twisted Sister documentary,
where one of the band members was talking about getting too content,
too comfortable with material gain. The song is about when the things
you own begin to own you." McCready duets with Petty on the fiery outro,
putting an exclamation point on the track's defiant message with one of
his signature screaming leads.
When they showed up to McCready's
studio to record "Velvet Noose" and its companion track, "No Heaven,"
Sides, Petty, bassist Leah Julius and drummer Ruby Dunphy found the
guitarist to be an extremely enthusiastic collaborator. "He had already
learned [the songs] from the shitty cell phone recordings we had sent
and was musing over arrangements and augmentations," Petty explains. "As
we lay down the tracks, he paced the room; fist raised in rock salute,
head banging. He plunked along on the piano, and hopped on the guitar
anytime he had the chance, content to add whale noises, rhythmic strums,
and of course, a blistering solo at the end of 'Velvet Noose.'"
"Thunderpussy is my
favorite new band, and it was an honor to work with them on these songs," McCready told Rolling Stone in a statement. "'Velvet Noose' is an amazing and catchy rock song that deserves to be
heard. Live, they have an incredible energy with amazing musicianship.
All four women are as talented as they come."
The "Velvet Noose"/"No Heaven" seven-inch will be out Friday, and that night McCready and Thunderpussy will play the first of two benefit shows at Seattle's Showbox. The Pearl Jam guitarist – and recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee
– will appear with his tribute band Flight to Mars, which honors
veteran British hard-rock outfit UFO, and Thunderpussy will open both
gigs.
Check out the debut single from Thunderpussy at Rolling Stone! The new single is now available via iTunes. Limited edition vinyl singles available at all three shows this weekend, then online May 19th!
Vinyl copies will be on sale tomorrow @ Up Stream & this weekend's Flight To Mars shows @ the ShowBox. 10club will be selling copies on May 19th. Not sure if they will be selling both editions.
