They formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in the early 2000's with original drummer Dawn Burman.
Cleaver and Walker began playing together in 2001 as a result of Cleaver’s stage fright when asked to perform a brief run of solo shows. The duo’s first performance was largely unplanned and yet went without incident.. so they agreed to continue and expand. Mark Messerly joined in 2002 as bassist and utility man, and Dawn Burman joined on drums shortly thereafter. The four-piece has released three full-length albums and one EP on their native Cincinnati’s Shake It label. Klug joined the band shortly after Burman's departure in early 2009.
The band is known for its use of "an army of alternately droning and jangling guitars" (Uncut 6/09) to offset the traditional three-minute pop format. Lyrics are typically split evenly between Cleaver and Walker.
Their work has met with critical praise from Rolling Stone and SPIN, both of which gave the band’s second and third albums four stars each, in addition to favorable reviews from Village Voice, NPR, Washington Post, Uncut, and many other press outlets. The “Dean of American Critics” Robert Christgau placed the band’s first two albums (Funeral Dress and Left for Dead) on his Best of the Decade list, and their third album (Wussy) ranked tenth in his best of 2009 Dean’s List.

LYRICS
Where you headed, baby
Off the wagon, out the door
Don’t you see me close as you’ll allow
You won’t pick up calls
From that number anymore
But I’m not dropping houses on you now
So you give it the old heave ho till the bitter end
You’re giving it all you’ve got, but you never win
Everybody’s laughing as you fall on your face again
But you’re giving it all you’ve got till the bitter end
Haven’t seen you in so long
I wouldn’t know your face
I almost could forget the things you said
Tiles in the roadway
Say you’re part of outer space
Laid in bare cement and painted red
(Spent so long sucking on a snake bite
Trying to keep the venom from entering the bloodstream)
Give it the old heave ho till the bitter end
You’re giving it all you’ve got, but you never win
Everybody’s laughing as you fall on your face again
But you give it the old heave ho till the bitter end
Where you headed, baby
Off the wagon, out the door
Don’t you see me close as you’ll allow
You won’t pick up calls
From that number anymore
But I’m not dropping houses on you now
(Spent so long sucking on a snake bite
Trying to keep the venom from entering the bloodstream)
So you give it the old heave ho till the bitter end
You’re giving it all you’ve got, but you never win
Everybody’s laughing as you fall on your face again
But you give it the old heave ho till the bitter end

This video hits hard. I see I'm still the same teenager, who was in awe of the strobe lights the local bands would haul into the armories where they played.
I posted this on Facebook, and I said it was the extension of "Tomorrow Never Knows." The drive in this never stops, and the drone keeps going. Long live Wussy.
Gregg Nicholl
Awesome sound! Got me dancing in a loin cloth on the back deck and annoying the neighbors as I crank this up!
