Wussy is a four-piece rock band hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio. Fronted by ex-Ass Ponys frontman Chuck Cleaver and Lisa Walker, the band formed in 2001 after Cleaver’s stage fright led to them performing together for a brief run of solo shows. The duo’s first show went well, prompting them to continue and expand their musical journey.
Joining forces with Mark Messerly on bass and utility man duties, as well as Dawn Burman on drums, Wussy released three full-length albums and one EP on their native Cincinnati’s Shake It! Records. Their music has garnered critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, SPIN, Village Voice, NPR, Washington Post, Uncut, and other press outlets.

The band underwent changes when Burman left in 2009 and was replaced by veteran Cincinnati drummer Joe Klug. The revamped line-up embarked on an Eastern U.S. tour in 2009 while also recording two vinyl-only singles. Wussy continues to captivate audiences with their unique sound and are set to release their fourth full-length album.
