Pussy (2)

Formed in the mid-1960s in Hertfordshire, UK, by drummer Steve Townsend, singer Dek Boyce and bassist Jez Turner. Initially they were called The Creepers but when the psychedelic era came along, they became We Shake Milk. Following an ad in Melody Maker guitarist Barry Clark and keyboardist Peter Whiteman were added to the line-up. It was through Barry Clark that his fellow ex-Fortes Mentum band-mate Danny Beckerman became involved with the band, in the capacity of producer, arranger, and songwriter. Later on, Barry Clark left and was briefly replaced by Gary Peters, before the band slowly disintegrated. While Danny Beckerman continued to mastermind a series of pseudonymous releases from the Morgan console room, Steve Townsend, Dek Boyce and Jez Turner returned to the relative tranquility of Hertfordshire as the heart of a band called Twilly. In 2023 Townsend released a comeback album with a new Pussy line-up, viz. [r26422310]. Original members Danny Beckerman (additional vocals, producer, arranger, songwriter) Dek Boyce (vocals) Barry Clark (guitars) Steve Townsend (drums) Jez Turner (bass) Peter Whiteman (keyboards).
