Brent Muscat (born April 23, 1967) is a musician who has played in various hard rock bands, most notably Faster Pussycat.

Bio

On April 21, 2007, Muscat circulated via MySpace an open invitation to Taime Downe and Greg Steele to reunite Faster Pussycat with him.[1]

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 formed Deluxe back in 1994 with Marc Anthony vocals, Tommy T-bone Caradonnaon (ex-White Lion, Alice Cooper, Lita Ford ) on bass and Gary Kaluza (ex-Glory Chain) on guitar.

Muscat currently lives in Las Vegas and has his own band called Sin City Sinners.[4] The band also features Todd Kerns (ex-Age of Electric, currently playing with Slash (musician)), Rob Cournoyer (ex-Raging Slab), and musician/actor Zachary Throne.

Muscat is one of the characters in the book Sex Tips from Rock Stars by Paul Miles, published by Omnibus Press in July 2010.[5]
