Are you drunk enough to sleep with me?

About Me

The Meow Meows are a legendary eight piece traditional Ska 'n' Roll supergroup from Brighton, UK. Welcome to our world (or at least, our MySpace page).
Our sound is an amalgamation of 60s garage rock 'n' roll, 80's 2Tone ska and anything else we may feel like chucking in. We formed back in summer 2005 mainly as an excuse to drink on a weeknight, but since then we have played with major international acts including Bad Manners, The Slackers, and The Aggrolites.
We miss our good friend and guitarist Ben Auld (RIP) very much, but after a year of uncertainty our future is clearer and brighter. Our regular "Club Meow" night is a fine way to celebrate the third Saturday of each month, and we have a bunch of summer festival appearances to look forward to.
February 08
We type this having just staggered from the studio clutching a handful of fresh recordings. We are really excited about our upcoming tour of Germany, as this will mark the first occasion that we have ventured outside the UK as a band (and in guitarist Danny Boy's case, the first time full stop). As long as we can survive a week driving 3000 miles around Germany in a small transit van crammed with band, instruments, amps and merchandise without wanting to throttle each other, it should be an amazing experience!
Our band is best experienced live with a healthy dose of alcohol; don't forget to bring your dancing shoes!
