Big Kitty & the Scaredy Cats

About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

Big Kitty and the Scaredy Cats are a 5-piece Brisvegas-based rockabilly, blues, country, swing, bluegrass, rock'n'roll outfit. We were founded in Perth in 2004 but after Big Kitty and her trusty sidekick Machine Gun Matt moved to sunny Queensland in early 2005, we re-formed with new Cats to fill big drumming and guitar boots (the illustrious Guv'nor Harvey Wallbanger esq., ol' mate Rupert the Jennerator, and Jules "The Spoils" Victor). What you can hear now is one of the tracks from our forthcoming CD release "Hola!", which you can preorder now at http://www.bigkitty.com.au/preorder.html and for which we'll be having a grand launch soiree on August 11 with special guests Corn Liquor and the Quick Draw McGraws....in the meantime check out one of our gigs if you're a local.
