Faster Pussycat Bring Sunset Strip Swagger to Nashville
Marathon Music Works — Nashville, TN | July 29, 2022
Faster Pussycat delivered a gritty, high-energy performance at Marathon Music Works on July 29, 2022, leaning hard into sleaze-rock attitude and unapologetic nostalgia. In a room built for loud guitars and sweat-soaked crowds, the band thrived, turning the night into a throwback celebration of Sunset Strip excess.
The strongest reactions came during signature favorites like “Bathroom Wall,” “House of Pain,” “Slip of the Tongue,” and “Poison Ivy,” each landing with raw punch and familiar swagger. Frontman Taime Downe commanded the stage with his trademark snarl, while the band kept the set driving and tight without sanding down the rough edges. The performance felt loose in the right ways—more dangerous club show than polished retro act.
Additional selections included Babylon, Don’t Change That Song, You’re So Vain, and Nonstop to Nowhere, rounding out a set that stayed faithful to the band’s core identity while keeping momentum high throughout the night.
The Nashville stop reaffirmed Faster Pussycat’s appeal as a live act rooted in attitude and authenticity—dirty riffs, familiar hooks, and a crowd ready to embrace the chaos.
