From 1986-1992 The Cathouse was at the epicenter of the Hollywood Rock scene. Some of the biggest bands in rock would play unannounced shows at the Cathouse but it wasn't the performances by bands like Guns n Roses, Motorhead, Alice Cooper, Pearl Jam, Faster Pussycat, Black Crows (the list goes on) that put Cathouse on the map. It was the sleaze and debauchery, the raunch and roll. Riki Rachtman former host of MTV's Headbangers Ball owned the Cathouse. He opened it with his roommate Taime Downe from the band Faster Pussycat with the premise of getting free drinks and meeting girls.
Riki enforced a no camera rule at the Cathouse so anything could and did happen. These stories have never been told......Until now
Each episode of Cathouse Hollywood Riki recaps 1 night at the Cathouse and he recounts the night with a participant or witness to what took place that evening. His guest could be a a musician that sold 5 million records or the girl that worked the coat check. It doesn't matter at Riki Rachtman's World Famous Cathouse we were all Rock Stars

Really Enjoyed this Podcast. What Happened to the Archive?
I listened to almost all of the episodes and then fell off for a bit. When I went to dive back in all were gone. What happened?
Great show with crazy stories and fun guests. Bring it back Riki!
Awesome podcast
Unfortunately I was only 5 or 6 years old when the Cathouse was popular. I live vicariously through these podcasts, and really enjoy each episode 😊Great job Ricki and crew! Please do more episodes
