Brent Muscat (born April 23, 1967, in Hollywood, California) is a guitarist who has played in various bands, including Faster Pussycat, Sin City Sinners, Donner Party, L.A. Guns, the Liberators, Bubble, Superficial/Sinthetics, Adler's Appetite, Sin City All Stars, and The Underground Rebels. With L.A. Guns he was a touring guitarist and appears on the two bonus live tracks on Rips the Covers Off. While headlining the Metal Sludge Extravaganza Tour with Faster Pussycat in 2003, Brent authored a much-acclaimed tour diary of his experiences on the road. In similar fashion, he has been spending the past several years writing his autobiography.
Brent is the brother of Todd Muscat (who was bass player in a number of Los Angeles based bands including Kill For Thrills, and Junkyard).
In 2007 Brent formed a second line up of Faster Pussycat, claiming rights to the name, with former members Eric Stacy and Brett Bradshaw along with Kurt Frohlich on vocals and Todd Kerns.
On April 21, 2007, Muscat circulated via MySpace an open invitation to Taime Downe and Greg Steele to reunite with him, Stacy and Bradshaw.[1] There was no response from Taime.
Brent's version of Faster Pussycat toured Europe in Spring 2007 with Kurt Frohlich replacing Taime on vocals along with Todd Kerns on guitar.[2]
After a short name dispute with Taime Downe Brent dropped his claim and dissolved his incarnation of the band.[3]
Brent Muscat currently lives in Las Vegas and has his own band called Sin City Sinners.[4] Las Vegas' own Sin City Sinners features Brent Muscat (x-Faster Pussycat) Todd Kerns (Age of Electric), Michael "Doc" Ellis (Jimmy Crespo Project) and Rob Cournoyer (Raging Slab) The band performs a set of hard rock covers and new originals. Brent has stated in an interview "Faster Pussycat is dead".
Muscat also occasionally plays in the Vegas-based 70s glam rock tribute Glam Star, which features his former Faster Pussycat bandmate Kurt Frohlich and Yellow Brick Road drummer James Sloan. Muscat's Sinners bandmate Todd Kerns sometimes appears as a guest with them as well.
Brent is one of the characters in the book Sex Tips from Rock Stars by Paul Miles to be published by Omnibus Press in July 2010.[5]
