Black Kat Hat

About Me

Black Kat Hat or The Blue Little Indians n the Great Red Smurf as I first called it WAS created as an experimental one-man sitar show in the beginning of 2006, London UK. The electric sitar was plugged into different effects combining the sounds of the psychedelic sixties n seventies garage rock with a twist of eastern. The Kat made quite a few shows around London and I also made some rough analogue 4-track recordings that I sent around to different people. One of the people that got a tape was Ray Baars former Yes producer n director of a small indielabel Jellorecords. He wanted me to do a whole album n that really encourage me to do some real recordings. But I didn’t have the money to pay for a studio or the will to stick around London so I went out travelling and the Black Kat fell asleep for a year. But I still manage to do some recordings during that year with my old mate Jonny that became the drummer of Black Kat Hat. In early 2008 I hooked up with another Kat called Yaco, that had access to a recording studio in Sweden. And during the summer of 2008 the two of us recorded about twelve songs together.Black Kat Hat still got its origin acoustic nakedness with the sonic sitar playin (as they called it when I played The Old Kings Head in London) but we have added a lot more flavours into the pot , The music and performance inspiration goes all the way back to the early fifties one-man blues to late sixties psychedelia, seventies garage punk, eighties hard rock, nineties grunge, black metal…, you name it. The lyrics are based around the epic tale n journey of the Black Kat through the Hat out with a splat down the Ga-ga ..till the end of Trala-la-la/ Best Jonazi
