Biography
In a music-scene full of angst and over-production, The Gorgeous Hussies' atypical take on alternative jam rock is refreshing and infectious as they weave off-the-wall riffs, catchy melodies and danceable beats.
In May 2009 The Gorgeous Hussies signed with Slothtrop Music who nationally released and distributed their most recent album “Sweet Surrealistic Queen”. In the album’s first week 150+ CMJ radio stations added the new record into rotation and that number has been aggressively growing ever since. Slothtrop Music continues to build the band’s national market value through a targeted and extensive national ad campaign.
Since the summer of 2006 this Salt Lake City based rock outfit has been tirelessly touring and entertaining audiences at venues throughout the Western United States and don’t show any signs of slowing down. The band was described as “the hardest working self-promoting band out of Utah” by award winning journalist Ori Hoffer of Park City Television and “by far the hardest working Utah band out there!” by Maxwell Morill of Starbar Booking & Promotions. The Gorgeous Hussies have developed lasting relationships with venue promoters and are repeatedly asked back for encore bookings. ** Performance attendance records have been kept since 2007.
The Gorgeous Hussies have been met with much fanfare from press outlets throughout the different regions they’ve toured. Newspapers, radio, and television stations have all been both gracious and enthusiastic in promoting and showcasing this rising trio and have spread the word to their audience about The Gorgeous Hussies’ upbeat and rock-driven live show.
