Biography of Faster Pussycat

Sleazy Hollywood metal band (whose name was lifted from a Russ Meyer flick) Faster Pussycat released its first album in 1987 and peaked commercially two years later with the gold album, Wake Me When It's Over, and the Top Forty single, "House of Pain." Although their next album, 1992's Whipped, hit #90 on the charts, it fell off the charts quickly; with the alternative rock explosion, the hard rock audience had changed and had no patience for Faster Pussycat's trashy glam metal. ~ John Book
