Stealing Hearts & Laying Waste with Rock & Roll.

About Me

Formed in 2006, the members of The Feral Cats have played with (or do play with) many other San Antonio bands such as:Neal Black & the Healers, King/Whitacker Project, The IceBreakers, Saber, Texas Radio, Bobby 'G' and the Drive, 13SIX, The Rhythm Kings, Texas Tide, Triple Nickle, S.A. Blue Cats and many others.All members of The Feral Cats are ‘certified’ Honorary “Fun-Tones” (Thank’s Mikey!)They may call us a ‘classic rock’ band…..but….We don’t play the standard ‘classic rock’ stuff that you usually hear. We play the ones we liked back in the day... Rock & Roll is performance art that should make your' knees go wobbly....if you don't get that wobble then you ain't doin' it right!What we really are is a “Vintage Rock” band…..What we really are is the most eclectic and intense rock band in San Antonio.What we really are, are hardcore Tube Amp freaks.....nothing sounds better than rockin’ through a cranked up vintage tube amp. No emulating chips or solid state circuits on our stage…only the real thing!From Buddy Holly to Cream, from The Stones to The Clash, from The Who to Hendrix…we play hard, loud and with all the heart & soul you can handle baby….And..Nobody has more fun when they play than we do! Nobody! And it shows.Myspace Backgrounds
