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

    Riki Rachtman has a lot of stories. He likes to share them. When he is not on tour with his story telling show One Foot In The Gutter he is behind the mic with an updated version of the Cathouse Hollywood Podcast . True tales from rocks most decadent era. Sure Riki was the host of MTV's Headbangers Ball which featured the biggest names in Heavy Metal. OK he is a veteran of radio and TV but what about the dark seedy past. From 1986-1994. The Notorious CATHOUSE ERA  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 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.  While authors and journalists attempt to recreate some of the legendary tales of what really happened at the Cathouse they always fall short because they weren't there. The biggest names in rock roll called Cathouse there home and the same stands for the Cathouse Hollywood Podcast. One episode might feature an artist that sold 11 million records and another might be the coat check girl because when it came right down to it. We were all rockstars.
