Cat and the Underdogs have been playing together for ten years, during that time we've released a 7" and gigged in Sweden, England and Norway. The hights were Stockholm Punk Rock Festival, Rebellion and supporting Stiff Little Fingers in Sweden. Most of us in the band have been playing Punk Rock for over 40 years and in some known bands as AVSKUM, E.A.T.E.R., Hollywood Indians, Suicide Pilots and Dublin Fair, music formed our lifes. We are playing that kind of good music we all grew up to.
A few years ago we've got a new singer and drummer and everything got cleared. We contacted an old friend of us, Chips Chiesbye, the guitarrist in Sator and The Boys, the guy behind The Hellacopters and The Nomads amongest others. He agreed to take us on and together we've recorded an album, Punk Rock Overdrive, which we are very proud of. Chips found thing in our songs that we didn't even knew of and Henryk Lipp did some excellent mixing of the album.
Since the release of Punk Rock Overdrive have the band been touring alot, played several festivals The Pizzacrust Festival in Karlstad, Hugo Fjäderben outside Kalmar and The Rebellion Festival in Blackpool again. Punk Rock Overdrive did get a lot of god reviews from music papers, fanzines and punkfluencers.
We have even sadley lost another drummer, Fredrik had to do some surgery in his hands and couldn´t keep up with the tempo anymore. There was a risk that he could get eternal damages in his hands, so he quit and we really miss him. But now we got a new drummer, Greg! Greg have been playing in a whole bunch of bands and he is a drummer in Keith Moon style, which we really like!
Gigs are booked during the winter of 24/25 in Karlstad, Linköping, Stockholm, Gothenburg and so on. You could book us, just send a mail to: catandtheunderdogs@gmail.com. And between we are writing new songs for forthcomming projects.
See you at the front!
