Faster Pussycat
All Music Guide
Sleazy Hollywood metal band (whose name was lifted from a Russ Meyer flick) Faster Pussycat released their first album in 1987 and peaked commercially two years later with the gold album Wake Me When Its Over, and the Top 40 single House of Pain. Although their next album, 1992s Whipped, hit number 90 on the charts, it fell off quickly; with the alternative rock explosion, the hard rock audience had changed and had no patience for Faster Pussycats trashy glam metal. After the groups split, singer Taime Downe formed the industrial/goth outfit the Newlydeads (along with a former member of another former L.A. glam pop outfit, Bang Tangos Kyle Kyle), issuing three albums -- 1997s self-titled debut, 1999s remix collection Re-Bound, and 2001s Dead End. With America experiencing a resurging interest in 80s glam pop by the early 21st century, Faster Pussycat reunited for a tour. But instead of an album of all-new material coinciding with the tour, a collection of old tracks remade as echno remixes was issued, entitled Between the Valley of the Ultra Pussy (Downe was the only member of the band to have any input with the project). ~ John Book & Greg Prato,
