Faster
Pussycat took make-up to a different level
and appea red on stage in black patent leather, white suit shirts, and ties,
making a great impact within a few seconds of stage time.
With an
eerie resemblance to Annie Lennox, Xristian Simon's look shocked many with his
dominatrix-style getup complete with thigh-high stockings and a long black
kilt-style skirt.
And as the band kicked into a slow-paced cover of the Nancy Sinatra
classic "These Boots are Made for Walkin’," Tamie Down truly stole the
show gently puffing his cigarette and holding a vinyl skull & bones umbrella in
hand as he somberly sang on.
But, for those non-goth fans, things brightened up
quickly as they sped up the beat and tore out a few of their own cuts like “Slip
of the Tongue,” and old-school favorites like “Bathroom Wall” and a new version
of “Cathouse,” with a less politically correct chorus.
  After
the band’s recent reunion tour last year, Greg Steele has once again parted with
vocalist Taime Down and guitarist Brent Muscat, who are joined by Newlydeads
members and now honorary Pussycat members,
Bassist Danny Nordhal (The
Throbs, NY Loose, Motochrist), drummer Chad Stewart (Coyote Shivers, Motochrist),
and guitarist Xristian Simon.
In addition to introducing one new track, and other old favorites like “House
of Pain,” Faster Pussycat pulled out another cover. In dedication to Bianca Butthole, who
passed away on December 15, 2001 while on tour with her band Betty Blowtorch, Taime Down proudly sang "Shut Up and
F#ck.”
