Faster Pussycat w/ Supersuckers, The Rumourz, & The Lonely Ones

Faster Pussycat

Faster Pussycat rose from the depths of the mid-‘80s Hollywood rock scene and took the Sunset Strip by storm with a sound that wasn’t glam and wasn’t punk, but blistered somewhere in between. With an attitude and swagger all its own, their self-titled debut featured the instant classics“Babylon,” “Bathroom Wall,” “Cathouse” and “Don’t Change That Song,”and its follow-up ‘Wake Me When It’s Over’ climbed even higher with the radio hit “HouseOf Pain,” “Poison Ivy” and “Where There’sA Whip There’sA Way.”

Despite their successes, Faster defied the mainstream mold and always followed frontman Taime Downe’s underground sensibilities. The gold and platinum records are nice, but Taime considers his greatest accomplishment to be longevity. “The only number that really matters to me is the number 40. Four decades later, Faster Pussycat are still rocking, and it feels as fresh as it did in 1986.” Look no further than their 2025releases “Motorbike” and the INXS cover “Don’t Change”–Faster Pussycat are as virile and tenacious as ever… and won’t have it any other way
