Joliet, Illinois 60432 - Introduction: Sleazy Hollywood metal band Faster Pussycat (whose name was lifted from a Russ Meyer flick) released their first album in 1987 and peaked commercially two years later with the gold album Wake Me When It’s Over and the Top 40 single “House of Pain.”
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 techno 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). The band’s first ever live release, Front Row for the Donkey Show, arrived in 2009.
Special Guests- Jason Charles Miller and Of Limbo
