Faster Pussycat
Faster Pussycat is an American glam metal band from Los Angeles, California formed in 1985. The group was most successful during the late 1980s with their self-titled debut album, their 1989 gold album Wake Me When It's Over and the 80,000 selling Whipped! in 1992.
History
Early Years (1985–1987)
Faster Pussycat was formed in Hollywood by Taime Downe during the Glam metal boom of the 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 many early personnel changes, Faster Pussycat consisted of Taime Downe (vocals), Greg Steele (guitar), Brent Muscat (guitar), Kelly Nickels (bass) and Mark Michals (drums).
Just before they recorded their debut album, Kelly Nickels left the group to join the L.A. Guns and was replaced by Eric Stacy (from Champagne).
Rise to fame (1987–1993)
The band signed a record contract with Elektra Records which released their debut album Faster Pussycat in 1987. The band established a following among Heavy-Metal, Glam-Rock and 'Sleaze Rock' fans, mainly through two promotional videos from the first album, for the songs Bathroom Wall and Don't Change That Song. In November 1987 the band appeared on the cover of Screamer Magazine's debut issue. Says David Castagno, the magazine's Publisher/Editor and now host of RadioScreamer, "Faster Pussycat will always hold a special place in my heart." In the United States the band toured with Alice Cooper, David Lee Roth, and Motörhead in support of the album.
Faster Pussycat (album)
Faster Pussycat is the first album by the band of the same name. The album reached #97 on the Billboard 200 chart. Videos were made for several of the songs on the album, including Don't Change That Song, which had a video directed by Russ Meyer.
The band performed Cathouse and Bathroom Wall in the film The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years, and they were interviewed in the segment as well.
The album was released on CD by UK-based company Rock Candy Records, with expanded liner notes and photos.

No Room For Emotion
by: Faster PussycatI'm not really too sure 'bout this conversation
There's been a lot of talk but nothing said
And don't you understand my French
What do I have to do to make a reservation
Just to talk to you and explain
That all you ever do is complain
I got no, I got no room for emotion, yeah
It's like a cloud dripping radiation right on my head
I got no, I got no room for emotion
Now I'm trying to make the best out of a bad situation
You take my heart, flush it down the drain
I'm easy baby, it's such a shame
Now I've had it up to here with all your aggravation
That you put on me, such a crime
