Singer Taime Downe formed FASTER PUSSYCAT in 1986, taking its name from the cult classic Russ Meyer film Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! In 1987 they released their self-titled debut album which went gold. The album was loaded with sexual innuendo and bravado and struck a nerve in the glam rock community, though they were always a little more down and dirty than glam. During that time they were interviewed and played two songs (Cathouse and Bathroom Wall) in the documentary film âThe Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years. The documentary captured the general vibe of the Sunset Strip bands during that time period, with FASTER PUSSYCAT being featured front and center.
In 1989 the band released the album âWake me when itâs overâ, which spawned the massive top 20 hit single âHouse of Painâ.
After substantial airtime on MTV the band toured with Guns N’ Roses, David Lee Roth, Motley Crue, Kiss, Alice Cooper just to name a few….
In 2001 FASTER PUSSYCAT,put out a collection of industrial remixes of the bandâs early songs produced by Downe and played to enthusiastic crowds around the world.
2006 saw the bandâs first full-length release in 14 years, âThe Power & The Glory Holeâ. The band’s live album âFront Row for the Donkey Showâ. Both albums were released by Full Effect Records.
FASTER PUSSYCAT is currently working on a new EP and doing what theyâve always done, touring heavily while keeping the spirit of Hollywood Sleaze alive and well.
