ABOUT FASTER PUSSYCAT Sleaze rock, heavy metal, hard rock glam or hair metal - Faster Pussycat was formed in Hollywood by Taime Downe during the Glam metal boom of the 1980s, the earliest incarnation of the band featured Downe and Greg Steele along with Brent Muscat. The name of the band, Faster Pussycat, is derived from the Russ Meyer film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!.
After several more member changes, Faster Pussycat soon morphed into the band's most well known line-up, consisting of Taime Downe (vocals), Greg Steele (guitar), Brent Muscat (guitar), Kelly Nickels (bass) and Mark Michals (drums).
Before recording their debut album, Nickels left the group and was replaced by Eric Stacy (ex-Champagne).
The band released their debut album Faster Pussycat in 1987, the same year Guns N' Roses released Appetite for Destruction. Although Guns N' Roses would overshadow Faster Pussycat in album sales, the band managed to build a cult following and put out several promotional videos from the first album for songs such as Cathouse, Bathroom Wall and Don't Change That Song. In the United States the band toured with Alice Cooper, David Lee Roth, and Motörhead in support of the album.
Also in 1987, Faster Pussycat appeared in the Rockumentary film, The Decline of Western Civilization part 2 - The Metal Years. The band was interviewed at some length and performed live versions of Cathouse and Bathroom Wall.
Two years later, Faster Pussycat would record their most successful album Wake Me When It's Over. The album received gold status; its sales being largely boosted by the hit single, House of Pain. Music videos were also produced for House of Pain and Poison Ivy. While the band were touring for the album in 1990, drummer Mark Michals was arrested in Omaha, Nebraska for trying to mail heroin to his hotel room and was subsequently kicked out of the band.Frankie Banali of Quiet Riot filled in as drummer for the remainder of the tour, then Brett Bradshaw became Faster Pussycat's new long-term drummer. Tours with KISS and Mötley Crüe followed.
