Faster Pussycat

“Sex, rock and roll and motorcycles! The lyrics are tongue in cheek, you can take them how you want to…”
Taime Downe on the new Faster Pussycat single ‘Motorbike

CALIFORNIA – Hollywood’s very own Faster Pussycat are releasing a new single titled ‘Motorbike’ and it officially drops on May 16th.

The new track is available to pre-save now on all streaming platforms.

Faster Pussycat are self-proclaimed Kings of Sleaze Rock and in addition to their new single dropping this month, the band will also hit the road this spring starting May 30th.


“Sex, rock and roll and motorcycles! The lyrics are tongue in cheek, you can take them how you want to…” raves FASTER PUSSYCAT founder and frontman Taime Downe of the single. “I started writing ‘Motorbike’ about a decade ago, then the pandemic happened and… I’m slow…” he trails with a laugh. “We actually recorded this a couple times before, I finally felt like we got it right.”

Fans will be thrilled to learn that a limited-edition seven-inch of “Motorbike” printed on “Pussycat Purple” vinyl is also available to order now, with the same May 16 release date. For collectors, an even more limited number of seven-inches signed by Taime Downe are available exclusively at www.fasterpussycat.com.

As was the case with the band’s previous two single releases, the vinyl B-side is a cover that has Downe just as excited as his FASTER original — a fuel-injected and grease-splattered take on the INXS classic “Don’t Change”.

“I’ve been a big fan of INXS for years — I even hung out with Michael Hutchence, Iggy Pop and Debbie Harry after an awards show, which was a night I’ll never forget,” waxes the frontman. “I’ve always wanted to do an INXS cover — they have so many great songs, but this is one of my favorites. We’ve been playing it on and off for years, and it’s obviously in the set when we play Australia. I’m psyched to finally get it recorded and out there with our own spin. It’s INXS meets the SEX PISTOLS, as only FASTER PUSSYCAT can.”
