July 12th, 2014 at Vamp’d in Las Vegas, NV. —<\/h3>\n

\"GEDSCFaster Pussycat turned Las Vegas club Vamp\u2019d into the Sunset Strip Glam-Rock haven for one night on July 12. The evening would not have been complete without the dancing girls on top of the VIP section stairway.<\/p>\n

Faster Pussycat is currently on the Bang Your Head Tour but on an off night Vegas was treated for a special evening. Hitting the stage at Midnight, Taime Downe and company turned Vamp\u2019d into party central. Opening with \u201cJack The Bastard\u201d the band cranked out all of the hits including \u201cCathouse\u201d \u201cSex, Drugs, and Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll in a 90-minute set.<\/p>\n

Taime Downe sported his black leather outfit and war paint ready for rock and roll battle turning up the heat! Taime who puffed on his cigarette is the epitome of coolness. Guitarist Ace Von Johnson riffed out the punk rock riffs. His style reminds me of Keith Richards meets The Ramones.<\/p>\n

Highlight of the set included Taime sitting on a lit up Cross singing \u201cHouse Of Pain.\u201d He also dedicated this song to former guitarist Brent Muscat. The crowd went ecstatic for \u201cBathroom Wall.\u201d Other highlight included the revved up punk version of \u201cYou’re So Vain.\u201d The weekend had a sad vibe due to the passing of Ramones’ drummer Tommy Ramone. In honor of Tommy\u2019s passing Faster Pussycat played tribute to the fallen Ramone. Bassist Danny Nordahl sang Ramones hits,\u201dHey Ho Let\u2019s Go\u201d, and “Pet Semetary.\u201d This was very moving. <\/p>\n

\"GEDSCThe show ended with \u201cShut Up And Fuck.\u201d It was a great evening of rock n\u2019 roll and a trip down memory lane of the heyday of Glamrock Metal. After the show Taime and the band hung out with fans. Be sure to catch the band on the Bang Your Head Tour with Quiet Riot this Summer.<\/p>\n
