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), 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]

Charity work

On February 19, 2012, Brent announced live on Las Vegas Radio station Komp 92.3 that on March 16 he will have his head shaved in front of a live audience to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer, but more importantly, to raise money to find cures through the St Baldrick's charity.[8] On March 16, 2012 Brent shaved his head on stage in front of a sold out crowd and beat his goal raising thousands of dollars for the St. Baldrick's foundation.[9]

Awards

In 1989, Brent received a gold record award for Faster Pussycat's second album Wake Me When It's Over. Years later, in 2004, he would earn his second gold record with the band's self-titled debut album, Faster Pussycat.[10]

Sin City Sinners, Brent's current band has won "Best of Vegas" two years in a row (2009 and 2010) in the Las Vegas Review Journal reader's poll,[11][12] and their music video 'Going to Vegas' received the 32nd annual Telly award.[13] Brent and the Sin City Sinners as well as being the house band, won the Publisher's Pick award at the 2010 VRMA Awards.
