Taime
Danny

so it looks like it is the newlydeads with brent along on guitar. (i know it's not the popular stance here but) hopefully they will do a set of newlydead tunes as well.
first time i saw them they did a few tracks by the newlydeads..ooooooooooooooooo it were good.
<font size="4" face="Arial">They also let Danny do a couple of Motochrist songs and played two new FP numbers last time around.Quote:

The Newlydeads with Brent on guitar??? Ooookaaaaayyy...sort of true, but you guys DO realize that this has been FP's lineup for FOUR YEARS now right? I think they've earned the right to call themselves FP as they are.
And I may be going to one or two of the East Coast dates before they head overseas...GOTTA go see my boys! Even though I just saw them play in LA two weeks ago... [img]wink.gif[/img]
come on, ask any casual 80's/music/faster pussycat fan what the real faster pussycat line up is and they will say the wake me when it's over era line up. the one when they actually had a few hits.
we ALL know that Taime had no intentions of every doing faster pussycat again until the money happened to be there for it more then his newlydeads project. how can you not say that it's the newlydeads with brent on guitar. it's not like this was faster pussycat and then they decided to release a cd under the name the newlydeads. this was the newlydeads that started doing shows under the name faster pussycat for the money.
what has faster pussycat released in the last four years? the last thing they released as a real band was some 12/13 years ago. (i don't count greatest hits after a band broke up as a release)
doing a couple shows here and there for money, under the name faster pussycat, does not make one a band. this is the newlydeads with brent in tow. if there is a higher power watching over us he will make them play a set of newlydead tunes so i could be happy.
I remember last time they were here, 2 years ago, they were doing the good ol' 80s FP stuff here, but the darker stuff at the US shows.
If its a Faster Pussycat gig, hopefully Faster Pussycat is what we'll get.
Oh, and they also have a tendency to throw in some Newlydeads tunes (as well as some Motochrist tunes as well) in their set. I've seen them do "Lipstick" a few times, "Submission" a TON of times, "In Denial" quite a few times, and "Sleeping Pill" once or twice.
<font size="4" face="Arial">Is this the same Nuneaton, as near to Coventry?, as this seems a little in the sticks, in comparison to the other places on the tour.Quote:
May 3 2005 9:00P Queens Hall Nuneaton
That's the only Nuneaton I've ever heard of. I played there once, supporting the UK Subs. Scabby place it is. The club was full of skinheads calling themselves the "Camphill Liberation Army".

Actually, this lineup of FP DOES have new material in the can, to be released this year. I posted a link to their MySpace page with a couple of new tunes here a few months back.
I've always been a die-hard FP fan, but I love this lineup. Totally talented and very fun guys. And all of the new songs I've heard ("#1 With A Bullet", "Hey You", "Last Girl") ROCK.
I get a lil defensive about FP...they're my total favorite...seen 'em 35 times in the past four years.
Well!.... Nuneaton seems to be putting it's self on the rock 'n' roll map!!!?..... as today I picked up our local rag only to see an advert saying Sam Yaffa's new band were playing a place called 'THE CREW' in Nuneaton!!!!!
and then furtther down on the same ad.... Enuff'Z'Nuff Pretty Boy Floyd and Bang Tango are due to play there on April 3rd!!!?? Wow!
Who will maintain's Taime's questionable myspace
presence whilst he's on tour? [img]wink.gif[/img]
I'm with Bill on this: all these spurious 'classic'
glam bands touring with a quarter (at best) of
the line-up people remember them best for is a bit
lame. Although, some of the blame has to be attri-
buted to the people who buy the tickets, I suppose,
because it's their refusal to embrace whatever these
bands attempted to evolve into, who supply the
demand.

edit...cos it's late and I'm on the wrong post, lol

In Madrid, they will be playing the same day that TNT and FIREHOUSE, what a bad luck!
Just to let you know that I have just confirmed
LOUD N NASTY as support to Faster Pussycat....
www.loudnnasty.com
I like the sound of Loud 'N' Nasty especially Play Dirty. The Intro reminds me of an old kid programme called the Double Deckers LOL. Think I'll invest in the CD soon.
