Vivid dreams and hazy recollections

About Me

Four guys that can’t get enough rock in their lives, Catfish Hunter adds a stingingly fresh presence to the music landscape...(smack) “Thanks, I needed that!”. Smearing the style palette between math, noise and 70’s style hard rock, these geezers are old enough to know better and not old enough to give a f@ck. Adam and Rick, badass rhythm section for ABQ legends FiveHundred , grab guitars and jump to the front lines to create a boisterous expanse of rock to swill your poison to. Brian and (new drummer) Chris "CPT" Partain (!) anchor the explosive rhythms with a jedi precision that brings a calculated thunderstorm to the rock masses. With past membership in bands like NYC’s Crawlpappy / Gin Mill, CT’s MINDWAR, and ABQ’s Fatso / Below the Sound / Bovine / Elephant / Starsky these veteran rockers love nothing more than to deliver a stunning rock maelstrom to your thirsty eardrums.
