Forming in Hollywood, California in 1985, and taking their name from Russ Meyer's 1965 exploitation trash classic, Faster! Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Taime Downe (lead vocals), Greg Steele (guitar), Brent Muscat (guitar), Eric Stacy (bass) and Mark Michals (drums) were in the right place at the right time with their brand of sleaze rock and glam metal. Signing to legendary record label Elektra, they released their self-titled debut on 7th July 1987 (two weeks ahead of Guns N' Roses' debut, Appetite For Destruction). Becoming MTV favourites with videos for the songs 'Bathroom Wall' and 'Don't Change That Song', their fame and infamy was further propelled by appearing in the Penelope Spheeris film The Decline of Western Civilization part 2 - The Metal Years, with the band interviewed as well as performing 'Cathouse' and 'Bathroom Wall' on stage. In America the band toured with Alice Cooper, David Lee Roth and Motörhead to promote the album. They reached a commercial peak in 1989 with second album, 'Wake Me When It's Over', which was swiftly awarded gold sales status. Featuring the singles 'House Of Pain' and 'Poison Ivy', 'Wake Me When It's Over' was marked by a heavier, less glam rock approach. They also recorded a cover of Carly Simon's 'You're So Vain' for the compilation album 'Rubáiyát', an album celebrating Elektra Records's 40th Anniversary. Led by the single 'Nonstop to Nowhere', 1992's self-explanatory 'Whipped!' fared well, but despite sold out tours, the rise of grunge was making many of Faster Pussycat's glam rock contemporaries look a little obsolete. The band called it a day in 1993. The band reformed in 2001, adopting a more industrial sound, favoured by singer Taime Downe, and continue to tour and record with various line-ups to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Change That Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bathroom Wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No Room for Emotion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cathouse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Babylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Smash Alley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shooting You Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e City Has No Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ship Rolls in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bottle in Front of Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bathroom Wall (Remix with Pussycat Intro)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bathroom Wall (Remix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Where There's a Whip There's a Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Dove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Poison Ivy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e House of Pain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gonna Walk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pulling Weeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Slip of the Tongue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cryin' Shame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tattoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ain't No Way Around It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Arizona Indian Doll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Please Dear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Babylon (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Slip of the Tongue (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Dove (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Smash Alley (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pulling Weeds (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Poison Ivy (Edit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e House of Pain (Edit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bathroom Wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Poison Ivy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pulling Weeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Slip of the Tongue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Babylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e House of Pain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nonstop to Nowhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Body Thief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jack the Bastard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Big Dictionary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Madam Ruby's Love Boutique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Only Way Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Maid in Wonderland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Friends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cat Bash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Loose Booty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mr Lovedog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Out with a Bang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nonstop to Nowhere (CHR Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Too Tight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Charge Me Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You're So Vain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Body Thief (Edit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50445843693842,"sku":"5013929925922","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4032562.jpg?v=1729704255","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/faster-pussycat-babylon-the-elektra-years-1987-1992-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
