Buckcherry, Nashville Pussy, and Drew Cagle & The Reputation Deliver a Night of Unstoppable Rock”
Houston was set ablaze Sunday night, September 28, as Buckcherry stormed into Warehouse Live Midtown with their trademark swagger and unapologetic sleaze-rock spirit. Backed by openers Drew Cagle and the Reputation and Southern rock firestarters Nashville Pussy, the evening was a full-throttle celebration of raw, unfiltered rock ’n’ roll.
Drew Cagle and the Reputation:
Setting the Stage With Grit and Fire
The night kicked off with Drew Cagle and the Reputation, led by frontman and guitarist Drew Cagle, who wasted no time in letting the Houston crowd know they came to make noise. They opened with the snarling “Bad Attitude,” a song that perfectly summed up their rebellious streak. The momentum rolled straight into “Live Right,” where Cagle’s commanding vocals and the band’s tight groove had heads nodding and fists pumping. By the time they hit “So Cold,” the energy had already turned feverish, with fans crowding closer to the stage.
Cagle introduced “You Think You’ve Heard Everything?” with a grin, daring the audience to keep up as the band delivered its hook-laden punch. The bluesy swagger of “Wine Talkin’” brought a rowdy sing-along moment, while “South Side of San Francisco” showcased the band’s knack for storytelling. They closed with “All Figured Out” a rousing anthem that left the room buzzing, proof that this group of talented musicians is hungry and ready for the big leagues.
“Drew Cagle’s command of the stage was impossible to ignore - this is a band on the rise.”
Nashville Pussy:
Southern Rock Mayhem Unleashed
Next up, Nashville Pussy featuring frontman Blaine Cartwright on vocals and rhythm guitar, lead guitarist Ruyter Suys, bassist Bonnie Buitrago and drummer Dusty Watson, rolled in like a Southern-rock hurricane. They set the tone immediately with “Pussy’s Not a Dirty Word” before ripping into “Piece of Ass” and “She’s Got the Drugs.” The crowd was already whipped into a frenzy when they dropped “Come On Come On” and the gritty stomp of “Speed Machine.”
Their set only grew wilder with “High as Hell” and the hilariously unfiltered “Gonna Hitchhike Down to Cincinnati and Kick the Shit Outta Your Drunk Daddy.” Suys tore across the stage, her guitar work sharp and untamed, while Cartwright snarled through “Testify” and “Struttin’ Cock.”
As the set roared on “Hate and Whiskey” and “Hillbilly Blues” had the floor shaking with stomps and shouts. The band paused briefly for “Till the Meat Falls Off the Bone,” doubling as their introduction segment, before unleashing the inevitable closer: “Go Motherfucker Go.” By the end, the crowd was drenched in bourbon, sweat and grinning ear to ear, thoroughly baptized in Nashville Pussy’s signature blend of raunch, riff and rebellion.
“Nashville Pussy didn’t just play rock - they incited it.”
Buckcherry:
Sleaze, Swagger and a Sing-Along Inferno
By the time Buckcherry hit the stage, Warehouse Live was primed and electric. The current lineup - Josh Todd on vocals, Stevie D. and Billy Rowe on guitars, Kelly LeMieux on bass and Francis Ruiz on drums - exploded into “Lit Up,” immediately sending the crowd into overdrive. From there, the band kept their foot on the gas with “Roar Like Thunder” and “So Hott,” each delivered with Todd’s signature snarl. The pounding rhythm of “54321” had the floor shaking, before the swaggering “Ridin’” gave fans another chance to howl along.
Todd introduced “Hellbound” with ferocity, the band tearing through it like a locomotive. “Set It Free” gave the set a moment of punchy groove before they cranked it back up with “Say Fuck It” and the razor-edged “Out of Line.” With “Come On” and “Gluttony,” the band proved they could still marry chaos and hooks with ease.
The mood shifted with the heartfelt ballad “Sorry,” which had the entire venue swaying and singing along. Buckcherry didn’t dwell in the slow burn for long - “Good Time” and “When the Sun Goes Down” reignited the fire, followed by the relentless stomp of “Blackout.”
Finally the band unleashed their closer: “Crazy Bitch.” This wasn’t just the standard version - it became a wild medley weaving in snippets of “Sex Machine,” “Bad Girls,” “Irresistible Bitch” and “Proud Mary,” before circling back to a thunderous, crowd-dominating reprise of “Crazy Bitch.” Fans screamed the lyrics so loudly it nearly drowned out the band, creating a chaotic and unforgettable finale.
“Buckcherry proved tonight why their swagger, sleaze and hooks remain untouchable.”
Conclusion:
Three bands, three distinct flavors of rock and one unforgettable Sunday night in Houston - the kind of show that reminds you why live music is best when it’s loud, sweaty and just a little bit dangerous.
