Faster Pussycat is an American hard rock band from Los Angeles, California formed in 1986.
The group was most successful during the late 1980s with their self-titled debut album and their 1989 gold album Wake Me When It's Over.
Faster Pussycat was formed in Hollywood by Taime Downe during the Glam metal boom of the late 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).
