THE AMCATS

About Me



THE AMCATS
isn't an exotic breed of cat. It's a girl who plays drums and a boy who plays guitar and sings. They met over their love of music and consumated their kinship through their own unique brand of sweaty, raw, garage rock.
A dash of british garage, One part Missisippi blues, and a sprinkle of punk. Delish.
After releasing their debut EP, they quickly picked up airplay across Australia (JJJ, RRR, FBi), Europe (Portugal, Greece, Spain) and the US, attracting the attention of Smashed Records, who released a sold-out split 7" with psych-rockers/fishing buddies Mona Lisa Overdrive.
They have since shared the stage with Die! Die! Die! (NZ), The Bellrays (US), The Dolly Rocker Movement, The Silents, Peabody & Kid Confucious, as well as gracing Adelaides Fuse Festival & Schoolies Festival main stage.
Check them out before someone else does! “so much fun in a 1950's Happy Days way with their goofy interplay and shredding minimal grooves that you can't help but come back again and again.” – Spoz…
“undeniably ace” – NME
“A sound that usurps calculated musical proficiency and instead relies on rock telepathy” – Rip It Up Magazine info/bookings: [email protected]
