Pussy Galore was a noise rock band that came into the fore during the 1980s American underground music scene. Founded in 1985 by Jon Spencer, the band's sound was a chaotic and exploratory blend of punk rock, hard rock, and blues elements, with a garage rock ethos. The band was known for their confrontational and unpolished performances, heavily influenced by bands like The Stooges and The Rolling Stones. Pussy Galore was a provocateur in both name and style, often pushing the limits of the era's musical and lyrical expectations.

Their catalogue is marked by defiantly lo-fi production and a willfully abrasive aesthetic. Among their significant works, "Exile On Main St.," released in 1986, stands as an infamous and noisy reinterpretation of the Stones album of the same name. After a series of lineup changes and several releases, Pussy Galore disbanded in 1990, but not before leaving a lasting imprint on the indie rock scene. Albums like "Sugarshit Sharp," a 1990 EP, and documents like "Live: In The Red," a posthumous release, continue to serve as testaments to the band's raw energy and influence on later noise and punk acts. Spencer went on to form other notable groups, such as The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, carrying on the confrontational spirit Pussy Galore was notorious for.
