Faster Pussycat - 19 November 2017, O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, London

After seeing Faster Pussycat play the Camden Underworld on numerous occasions it was great to see them play on a larger stage. As special guests to Mr Big, they were also playing to much larger crowds and to punters who had never seen them before. Therefore by the time they hit the stage at 7pm it was good to see a fairly sizeable crowd (and fans as well). For 30 minutes they played a set not dissimilar to the one in September. I think starting off with 'Jack the Bastard' is a good opener. They came across as very professional and for me this was a perfect set consisting of 7 songs (8 if you include 'Ace of Spades' snippet at the end). However I think they are best suited for a top support slot for future bands that come and play the UK, rather than heading tiny venues.A faultless performance. Hopefully their profile has been raised from this tour and I hope to see them at an outdoor festival appearance in 2018.

Rating: 10/10

Setlist: Jack the Bastard, Cathouse, Slip of the Tongue, No 1 with a Bullet, House of Pain, Bathroom Wall, Babylon and Ace of Spades.
