NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Los Angeles, CA, United States, 04/23/2007 - Sleaze Roxx recently caught up with Faster Pussycat bassist Eric Stacy. Eric talked about the reformation of the band, the friction between them and former vocalist Taime Downe and a new album.

Some excerpts from the interview:

Sleaze Roxx: You have reformed with Brent Muscat and Brett Bradshaw in a new version of Faster Pussycat, what led to the reformation?

Eric Stacy : Brent and I had talked like once a year for quite awhile about reforming Faster Pussycat. We'd talk about it, throw around ideas, and then boom, it would be another year later. Then same thing, he'd call me or I'd call him and we'd talk about it and nothing would happen. So, this past December when he called I told him basically, "Brent, it's now or never, we talk all the time about this but let's either do it or stop talking about it." This time it just felt right, especially being the 20th anniversary of the first record coming out.

Sleaze Roxx: There seems to be some division between your version of Faster Pussycat and Taime Downe's. What is your take on the whole situation?

Eric Stacy: I don't want to get into a shit throwing contest with anyone, or have any kind of war of words in the press, that's definitely not why we started back up. But in a nutshell I think to begin with Taime probably thought Faster Pussycat was him and only him and he's reacting to finding out that the band can, and will, go on without him if he chooses not to be a part of this, which he doesn't seem interested in doing in the slightest. And I'm really cool with that. I spent too many years hoping we'd do a reunion right but it doesn't seem important to him, so be it.

Sleaze Roxx: Do you plan on writing and recording new material with this line-up?

Eric Stacy: Absolutely. We hope to have a new Faster Pussycat record out by the end of this year!
