Personnel: Xristian Simon, Michael Thomas , Ed Mundell (guitar); Chad Stewart (drums).Recording information: Across The United States; The Graveyard, Hollywood, CA.Out of all the glam/hair bands that infiltrated the rock world circa the late '80s, Faster Pussycat was certainly one of the sleaziest and loosest -- especially when it came to performing their three-chord anthems on the concert stage. But during the group's peak, they never got around to issuing a live album. However, when singer Taime Downe decided to put together a whole new Faster Pussycat lineup circa the early 21st century, the time had finally come for the group's first official live set, 2009's Front Row for the Donkey Show. Interestingly, although Faster Pussycat's 2006 studio comeback, The Power and the Glory Hole, was a decidedly electro/industrial-based affair, this live set reflects more of the group's earlier direction. And an obvious reason for this is the presence of quite a few vintage Pussycat ditties, including "Cathouse, " "House

And while they never were able to translate it all into commercial success, they left quite an impression on the West Coast. After all, by the mid- to late '80s, the Sunset Strip was crawling with groups that attempted to look and sound like the Dolls. A case in point is Faster Pussycat.

This is my story; I am a musician and entrepreneur who created and co-owned nightclubs, now part of the history of music and nightlife in New York City. Starting with my first club, Sanctuary, and continuing with Mission in Manhattan's East Village and ending with the highly regarded Luna Lounge, this is the first book to cover a part of the New York rock music scene that came after punk, new wave, and no wave. Musicians and bands including Joey Ramone, The Psychedelic Furs, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, The Sugarcubes, The Sisters Of Mercy, and Killing Joke, among others, would party together at Mission. It was the late 1980s, a time of MTV's "120 Minutes", melodic British psychedelic guitar rock, Wax Trax industrial rock records, and a dangerous but exciting Lower East Side. Moving further ahead, my story continues with the sale of the Mission and the opening of Luna Lounge in 1995, possibly the most important venue of its size in New York. Luna was the stage where The Strokes, Interpol, The National, Longwave, stellastarr*, The Bravery, The Hold Steady, and many other bands first performed before friends and early fans of the bands. Also, Luna would host free performances from Marty Willson-Piper (The Church), Black Box Recorder, Sonic Boom, and Kid Rock. This is also a narrative about Elliott Smith as he wrote out his work for the album, XO, while sitting at the Luna Lounge bar and his subsequent launch into stardom. In addition, Luna Lounge was a well known Monday night comedy spot where cutting edge comics worked new material in front of a supportive audience as part of the "Eating It" comedy series, the room where fans could see, among others, Jon Stewart, Janeane Garofalo, Jeff Garlin, Rob Cordry, Greg Fitzsimmons, Lewis Black, Jim Norton, Lewis C.K., and Marc Maron. Finally, this is the story of the forced closing of Luna Lounge, a victim of the rising real estate values which came as a result of the quality of life initiatives set out by the Republican mayors who have controlled the city for the last twenty years.
