FASTER PUSSYCAT
The Underworld, NW1 0NE , [Venue Details]From the depths of the mid 80s LA Glam rock scene, a bunch of attitude driven, misguided youth brought to the surface their brand of alley cat rock. Not glam, not punk but somewhere in between, with an attitude and swagger all their own.
Faster Pussycat was his baby assembled piece by piece, that would, not unlike Frankenstein, rapidly grow into a monster and take the scene by storm, whether it was ready for it or not! Before they knew it, this rag-tag team of miscreants scored a record deal with Elektra Records and released their debut self-titled album produced by Ric Browde (Poison, Ted Nugent, etc.) who was also instrumental in securing the deal in the first place. The debut record featured instant classics "Babylon", "Bathroom Wall", "Cathouse" and "Don't Change That Song" , the latter of which, birthed their first music video directed by none other than "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" director Russ Meyer! During this same time, the iconic documentary film, "Decline Of The Western Civilization 2: The Metal Years" was released and featured Taime and Riki Rachtman talking about their club the Cathouse and included Faster Pussycat performing "Cathouse" and "Bathroom Wall" live. The film, directed by Penelope Spheeris, was a dissection of the Los Angeles heavy metal scene from 1986 - 1988. The film also featured interviews with members of W.A.S.P., Motorhead, Aerosmith, Ozzy and more!).
