Faster Pussycat are back in London on a short tour of UK.They are one of my favourite bands and on a previous blog I gave them a good review 2 years ago when they played the Underworld. Again the venue wasn't packed, they deserve to play to a bigger audience. I always enjoy seeing them however on the last few tours they don't seem to change their setlist. Lead singer Taime Downe explained that they have just flown in from LA that day but they could have added an extra song ('Poison Ivy') into their 13 song set which lasted approx 75 minutes. Like I said you know what you are getting when they play, such as Taime sitting down on the front of stage monitors for 'House of Pain', and a couple of punk songs sung by Danny and Ace. It was good to see them open their set with 'Jack the Bastard' .Of course we had the favourites of 'Cathouse', 'Bathroom Wall' and closing the set with 'Babylon'. Even the newer songs of 'No1 with a Bullet' and 'Sex,Drugs & Rock n Roll' fit nicely in the setlist. Being the only original member left in the band, Taime is Faster Pussycat and deservedly the main attraction. Maybe next time they come over they can be part of a package playing larger venues. Here's hoping.
Rating: 9/10
Setlist: 'Jack the Bastard', 'Cathouse', 'Slip of the Tongue', 'No1 with a Bullet', 'Sex,Drugs & Rock n Roll', 'Don't Change that Song', 'House of Pain', 'You're so Vain', 'Bathroom Wall', 'New Rose', 'Pretty F*cked up', 'Shut up and F*ck' and 'Babylon'.
