The band's style of music has shifted from the Aerosmith influenced rock to a more industrial one, much like Taime's Newlydeads. The opening track from Faster Pussycat’s 1989 album, Wake Me When It’s Over, peaked at 39 on the Billboard 200 and is a staple of their live sets to this day. The band has since reformed and has recorded a new album, "The Power and the Gloryhole," which was released in 2006. In 2001, Taime released "Between the Valley of the Ultra Pussy" with some former members of Faster Pussycat under the moniker, which contained newer versions of older songs. Sensing the change in musical tastes, they disbanded and went on to various other projects, with frontman Taime Downe going onto form an industrial rock band called Newlydeads.
They released their third album, named ' Whipped!', to little success in 1992. Yet, with the rise of grunge in the early 90s, Faster Pussycat's style of music fell out of favor, despite having little in common with several of the chart-topping glam bands at the time, such as Warrant and Slaughter. ' Wake Me When It's Over' was even certified as gold by the RIAA. No, theres no one home In my house of pain Wasnt I worth the time A boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime and all the time I looked up to you. I didnt write these pages And my scripts been rearranged.
Still tapping into a big audience for their type of sleazy hard rock, they had a hit with the power ballad " House of Pain". Im not trying to fake it And I aint the one to blame. Guns and Keifer camps could not have asked for a better opener. Still, their set was too short in this girl’s opinion. The group's follow-up, named ' Wake Me When It's Over', came out in 1989, during the last years of glam metal's commercial viability. Faster Pussycat: Faster Pussycat were first up, and they were loud, dirty, and in your face, squeezing as many of their hits into the set as possible. The album reached the #97 slot on the Billboard 200 chart, and it has received praise from music critics such as Steve Huey of Allmusic, who praised it as "party-hearty" and "fun". The band released their self-titled debut in 1987, gaining some commercial success. Muscat has been the only member to perform on all Faster Pussycat releases besides Taime. Guns name again, Tracii's friend Taime Downe took the name and formed Faster Pussycat in 1985 with lead guitarist Brent Muscat. However, after getting financial backing if he used the L.A. The name "Faster Pussycat" was taken from the 1965 cult film "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!", which was was originally meant to title Tracii Guns' new band after leaving Guns N' Roses. They're best known for their 1989 album ' Wake Me When It's Over', which has been certified as gold by the RIAA. Musical trends were changing and the brand of melodic rock from bands like SHAKE THE FAITH/SHAKEY JANE, Every Mother's Nightmare, Sleaze Beez, Baton Rouge and other such bands, was no longer in vogue.Faster Pussycat is a hard rock band that formed in the mid- 80s and is often associated with the glam metal scene, belonging to the sleaze subgenre alongside bands such as Guns N' Roses, L.A. Finally, in 1994 the short run of SHAKE THE FAITH and SHAKEY JANE had come to an end. I also have fond memories of Motley Crue, Cinderella, Ratt, W.A.S.P., Faster Pussycat, Kix, etc. Stream songs including 'Poison Ivy', 'Nonstop To Nowhere' and more. I know it was a shame, but whatever happened to Jane. Several shows would be played under the name SHAKEY JANE and release one 6-song demo would be released. Listen to Greatest Hits by Faster Pussycat on Apple Music. Jane combining the names of the two bands, members Joh Weed, Currie Powers, guitarists Dave Peers and Shane Greenstreet, with vocalist Clayton Dutton would become SHAKEY JANE.Įventually, Greenstreet would leave and be replaced by the return of Todd Stevens. Shortly following the band’s split Weed and Powers would hook up with members of another local act called St. Unfortunately, SHAKE THE FAITH would not meet the expectations of the hype surrounding them and the group split up in 1991 just as they were preparing to enter a studio to record their debut full-length album. In 1990 SHAKE THE FAITH would record a 6-song demo that upon its release began to circulate quickly through the rock scene garnishing the band plenty of radio play and press. All the while SHAKE THE FAITH was building a fair size audience in the area. A steady stream of gigs would follow including several bookings sharing the stage with many of the larger touring acts of the time. Three and half decades later, Faster Pussycat is still rocking, and it feels as fresh as it did in 1986. Formed in 1989 by the trio Currie Powers (drums/vocals), Todd Stevens (guitar/vocals), and Jon Weed (bass/vocals) and later recruiting frontman Andy Hogg, once SHAKE THE FAITH were a solid four-piece band they would quickly hit the hard rock club circuit. The only number that really matters to me is the number 35.
