Nashville Pussy Bassist Announces Split, Nixes Hole Rumor

After what was termed a temporary personnel move, Nashville Pussy and its bassist, Corey Parks, have made their split official, and Parks has shed light on her future plans, which include Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister but not alt-rockers Hole.

A statement released by Nashville Pussy on Thursday confirms that Parks is out as the band's bassist, and that Tracy Almazon (who filled in on bass during the group's stint on this summer's Tattoo The Earth tour) will now be her official replacement. Almazon's next matter of business with the band will be a North American tour that kicks off later this month.

Meanwhile, Parks confirmed the split as well on Thursday in her own statement, in which she simply declares, "I am making it official. I will no longer be playing bass for Nashville Pussy."

Parks then goes on to confirm rumors that she had been courted for the position that opened up in Hole when bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur left the group late last year.

As we previously reported, Hole leader Courtney Love placed Parks on the short list of candidates for the gig (see [article id="1430026"]"Hole To Snag Nashville Pussy's Parks?"[/article]). In her statement, Parks said: "[Love] wanted the two of us to hang out and jam and see if we could work together. I am extremely flattered that she went to great lengths to track me down, but as you all know, I am a rock 'n roller and I would never be a part of anything that I didn't believe in."

Instead of jamming with Courtney, Parks will soon be kicking it with Lemmy, as the two plan to record a single together. Parks also said she is putting together her own band and might also give wrestling a try, "just for fun."

Parks' former bandmates will also yield some new studio material as well in the near future, as Nashville Pussy will lend a cover of Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' With Disaster" to the soundtrack to "Run Ronnie Run," an upcoming comedy from "Mr. Show" masterminds

David Cross and Bob Odenkirk.
