Geocache Description:

I chose a location very close to my place of business for this cache. I hope you won’t encounter any Poison Ivy when you go find the cache… You can park across the street and walk over.

Sleazy Hollywood metal band (whose name was lifted from a Russ Meyer flick) Faster Pussycat released their first album in 1987 and peaked commercially two years later with the gold album Wake Me When It's Over, and the Top 40 single "House of Pain." Although their next album, 1992's Whipped, hit number 90 on the charts, it fell off quickly; with the alternative rock explosion, the hard rock audience had changed and had no patience for Faster Pussycat's trashy glam metal. After the group's split, singer Taime Downe formed the industrial/goth outfit the Newlydeads (along with a former member of another former L.A. glam pop outfit, Bang Tango's Kyle Kyle. By the early 21st century, Faster Pussycat reunited for a tour. But instead of an album of all-new material coinciding with the tour, a collection of old tracks remade as techno remixes was issued, entitled Between the Valley of the Ultra Pussy (Downe was the only member of the band to have any input with the project). ~ John Book & Greg Prato, All Music Guide Really a simple song. It’s about a woman who really bugs him and he can’t get rid of her. Kinda like what happens to most people when they come in contact with Poison Ivy. Ahhhh. Glam Rock. Takes me back. Yep, in the 80’s I was one of those girls who really liked the music. You know, sung by the guys with longer hair than I had. They wore more makeup than I even own and used about 1 ½ cans of AquaNet to keep their hair… ummm…nice and messy looking. It was a much simpler time and I still enjoy listening to some of the music that I listened to then. My Glam Rock caches will each be dedicated to a song I enjoyed in my younger years. Most will be really “Glam”, others a little bit more mild. Either way, I would love to hear your thoughts on the caches and especially what you were doing in the 80’s and if the song brings back any memories (even if the memories are just wishing that someone would turn that stupid music down)!!!!
