Nine Pound Hammer
Jimmy Lebovski
Rock`n`lol
Группа была основана в 1985 году в маленьком городке Owensboro в штате Кентукки с целью играть гаражный рок . Сменив несколько названий, ребята остановились на Nine Pound Hammer . НА протяжении всей истории группы состав постоянно менялся , о чем можете подробно прочитать в био на английском, что приводится ниже . В 1997 году группа приостановила свою деятельность , а ее гитарист вместе с некоторыми участниками основал свой проект под названием Nashville Pussy . Тем не менее , в 2000 году произошел реюнион Nine Pound Hammer, и с тех самых пор ребята по-прежнему продолжают радовать фанатов своим творчеством.
1985: Blaine Cartwright and Scott Luallen, natives of a small western Kentucky town (Owensboro) first played at The Ross Theater in nearby Evansville, Indiana, with drummer Toby Myrig, David Epperson, and bassist Brian (Forrest) Payne. David and Brian left, and Bart Altman joined on bass. This lineup played locally in Owensboro (KY) and Evansville (IN) before moving to Lexington (KY) as the Raw Recruit. The band then changed the name to the Black Sheep, and became the house band at Great Scott's Depot. Darren Howard replaced Toby, and the band became Nine Pound Hammer again.
Kathy Lewellyn replaced Bart on bass. The band records "Band-In #12," a Detroit, Michigan garage-rock show.
Rob Hulsman (drums) and Brian Moore (bass) join and record "The Mud, the Blood, and the Beers" LP for Wanghead in 1988. Matt Bartholomy replaces Brian on bass.
The Cadillac Inn/Surfabilly 7" is recorded in 1991. "Smokin Taters" LP is recorded for Crypt Records in 1992. The band tours Europe for the first time, 56 shows in 65 days. Johnny Evans replaces Rob on drums for another European tour. "Hayseed Timebomb" LP is recorded for Crypt Records in April/July 1994 at Stockyard Studios in Glasglow, KY with Bill Waldron on drums.
They tour Europe again with Ohio band Gaunt, including a show at The Vera, in Sweden. (A live recording of this infamous show would be released in '99 as a double LP/cd.) Adam Neal joins on drums for a U.S./Canada tour.
In 1995, the band plays Sleazefest, record the "Nothin' To Do" 7" and the "Teenage Head" 7" for Answer Records. In 1996, Bill returns for a 10-day tour of Japan that ends up being the band's last tour for several years. In 1997, the "Dead Flowers" 7" is released on Answer Records.
Blaine ( with wife Ruyter Suys and Hammer drummer Adam Neal ) forms the band Hell's Half-Acre, which (after several drummer/bassist changes) becomes Nashville Pussy, who tour incessantly and are nominated for a Grammy. Nine Pound Hammer is on hiatus during this time.
Nine Pound Hammer reunites in late 2000 for two reunion shows: Atlanta (9/23) and Lexington (12/22). Other sporadic reunion shows follow. They play Sleazefest 2001 in August at Chapel Hill, NC.
In Spring 2002, three shows featuring new material and a new drummer (Brian Pulito) are played in Atlanta (4/6), Lexington (5/17) and Nashville (5/18). Shortly thereafter, in May 2002, the boys record a new album on the analog setup at Barrick Studios (Glasgow, KY). In the fall, they play Birmingham, Alabama and Austin, Texas.
In February 2003, the band plays an Atlanta gig, and the notorious 2003 L.A. Shakedown. Matt Bartholomy, longtime bass player, leaves the band and Earl Crim takes over his duties. The band plays two European Music Festivals, Sjock Festival in Belgium and Serie Z in Spain.
In March of 2004, the band plays Richmond Kentucky and Austin Texas. New LP entitled "Kentucky Breakdown" released on Acetate Records: May 2, 2004.

О группе узнал только после того как впервые услышал заглавную тему к мультфильму "12 oz. mouse" . С первых песен я понял , что тема про эту группу просто должна быть на неформате . Дикая смесь панка, моторхеда , южного рока и кантри просто сносит башню напрочь ! Музыка пропитана байкерским фривольем и духом свободы! Такой заряд энергии пробудит даже мертвеца !
P.S. Если у кого-то есть другие альбомы этих ребят - залейте на сервак или киньте ссылки - буду премного благодарен ибо их творчество - раритет
