Faster Pussycat

Thursday 3 September 2026, KK's Steel Mill, Wolverhampton. Taime Downe brings Faster Pussycat back to the UK to mark four decades of sleaze-glam grit and ragged hooks. Born on the Sunset Strip, the band made its name on rough-edged hard rock with a bluesy swing and Downe’s unmistakable rasp. For this anniversary show, the set leans into the songs that shaped their run, from the swagger of their late‑80s breakout to the heavier turns of the 90s and the darker textures that followed, all anchored by loud guitars and streetwise attitude. It’s the band’s history distilled into a live blast, played straight and loud.

Blacklist Union join the bill with tough, hook‑ready hard rock rooted in Los Angeles grit, warming the room with sharp riffs and unvarnished choruses. Femme Fatale round things out with high‑energy melodic rock driven by strong vocals and punchy guitars, channelling the spirit of late‑80s Hollywood without the gloss. Together they set the stage for a night steeped in Sunset Strip DNA, with Faster Pussycat closing the circle and celebrating the songs that made their name.
