Nevertheless, the band failed to maintain their success and split in 1991. But Decker reformed the band with a new line-up in 1998, and T’Pau have in recent years attempted a comeback. Celebrating their 40th Anniversary in 2022 with the ‘History Repeating Anthology’ and World Tour, the journey was cut short by Mike Peters’ Pneumonia and Leukemia relapse.

Bruce’s versatility is evident, taking lead vocals on “David Watts” (The Kinks) and writing “News Of The World”, which to this day appears as the theme to the BBC’s Mock the Week show and has introduced his work to a new generation of fans. Perhaps Bruce’s most notable work “Smithers-Jones”, the story of the city executive who soon finds he has been chewed up & spat out, is just as pertinent today as it was in 1979 when he wrote it for the Setting Sons LP. The members originated from the towns of Shrewsbury and Wellington in central England and took their name from a Vulcan high priestess in the classic Star Trek episode Amok Time.
“Pass the Dutchie” has become an enduring classic and experienced a resurgence in popularity thanks to its inclusion in Stranger Things Season 4, where it became a TikTok sensation and reached number 1 once again.

According to Luminate, the song was streamed a staggering 11.8 million times.

Faster Pussycat rose from the depths of the mid-‘80s Hollywood rock scene, taking the Sunset Strip by storm with a sound that wasn’t glam and wasn’t punk, but blistered somewhere in between. The gold and platinum records are nice, but Taime considers his greatest accomplishment to be longevity. Three and half decades later, Faster Pussycat are still rocking, and it feels as fresh as it did in 1986.” Look no further than their 2021 releases “Nola” and the Johnny Thunders cover “Pirate Love”–Faster Pussycat are as virile and tenacious as ever…and won’t have it any other way. The 80s Cruise is ecstatic to welcome Mark Goodman on deck as one of our celebrity hosts.
