Cats in the Basement

This year we managed to pull off some sporadic shows with special kool friends while on tour, do our own Florida tour, record an EP, play a song with 25 drummers and a piano axed to pieces, sold out of cassette tapes (a feat not accomplished since 1992, we suppose) at our un-release show. The 7 Track EP, DOO BEE DOO LA DEE DAY DUM BE DUM comes out FEB 21. on Atlas/Finch House Records!!!! Then East Coast + SXSW Tour w/ The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt!!!!! ———————————————————— CATS IN THE BASEMENT is your everyday library-turned-dancehall of a band delivering infectious pop music. Schizophrenic love songs marry subversive lyrics to group-hug performance art starring a cast of irrational artifacts and anachronistic everyday library-turned dancehall characters. Their debut EP, DOO BEE DOO LA DEE DAY DUM BE DUM DRINK YOUR BLOOD, decays from traditional arrangements into psychedelic chaos experiments- usually in three minutes or less. Like listening to two versions of a song at the same time, the academic, yet uneducated paraprofessional theatrics extend into energetic live displays of crowd participation. “The whole album is an ultra- must have, absolutely fantastic! A mellifluous mix of lyrical genius, doo- wop, and decades of parties packed into each minute of the record. The entire cut is witty, entertaining, and there is even a sexophone! Your life will feel better once you put this on!” -Doobious.org “Like billy joel showing up to your birthday party. The right kind of zany and a bass player who is just too cool for words… like gets stabbed in the chest and plays the show anyway cool. and their drummer has really weird business cards.” -Neil Fridd ‘“What would happen if you gave Modest Mouse a drunken beach bash and got the B-52s’ Kate Pierson to spin sand circles then pee on herself during a keg stand?’ The EP plays like a soundtrack to that kind of party.” - thisweekinsarasota.com “There were stuffed animals strewn across New World Brewery’s wooden patio, and it was certainly the festival’s looniest daytime performance in recent memory.” - Suburban Apologist surf doo-wop & the nine lives of mr. whippy purrman
