All Is Not Well
''All Is Not Well'' is the debut studio album by American band Tura Satana. Produced by Ross Robinson, the album was initially released in 1996 when the band was still performing under the name Manhole, which they were later forced to change due to there being a pre-existing band of the same name. Recording Tairrie B shelved her second rap album and left Ruthless Records in order to form a rap rock band where she could "rap over heavy music and address more socially conscious issues". The Los Angeles band named themselves Manhole, unaware that there had already been a Texas punk rock band of the same name who had released a seven inch record before them. The Los Angeles band Manhole caught the attention of Noise Records, who asked the Los Angeles band to be a part of their 1995 compilation ''The Fall and the Rise of Los Angeles'', and the positive response to their appearance on the compilation led to the band signing a recording contract with the label.

Tura Satana (band)
Tura Satana was an American metal band named after cult actress Tura Satana. The band started in the early 1990s under the name Manhole.

Their second (and final) offering was the religious influenced ''Relief Through Release''. Throughout their career, the band has shared the stage with rock big names such as Human Waste Project, Snot, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Type O Negative, Incubus and Limp Bizkit.

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
''Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!'' is a 1965 American exploitation film directed by Russ Meyer and co-written by Meyer and Jack Moran. It follows three go-go dancers who embark on a spree of kidnapping and murder in the California desert. The film is known for its violence, provocative gender roles, and eminently quotable "dialogue to shame Raymond Chandler". It is also remembered for the performance of star Tura Satana, whose character Richard Corliss called "the most honest, maybe the one honest, portrayal in the Meyer canon". ''Faster, Pussycat!'' was a commercial and critical failure upon its initial release, but it has since become widely regarded as an important and influential film. Plot Three wild, uninhibited go-go dancers — Billie, Rosie, and Varla — dance at a club before racing their sports cars across the California desert. They play a high-speed game of chicken on the salt flats and encounter a young couple, Tommy and Linda, out to run a time trial. After breakin ...
