The Meerkats (on patrol)
************************************************************ ***The Meerkats are snack size for a number of animals, so one always stands guard whilst the others forage for food or make music.
The band is best described as - aaaaaaah look at their little faces. Oh that ones standing up all by himself, bless. It could also be said that they do resemble (musically) some of their pop heroes such as Ben Folds and Jellyfish.
Having non-retractable claws and only four toes makes it very difficult for The Meerkats to create classical music or indeed any style of modern heavy metal music, such as thrash, Bulgarian black metal, Swiss slightly dark metal and Peruvian off-grey metal. Being small and cute does mean that The Meerkats are perfectly formed for the pop genre, which is ok with them.


The Meerkats will be coming out of hibernation very soon with a small but well crafted collection of their own songs entitled Mkats on Patrol, a semi-autobiographical work based loosely on their lives and loves in their native Serengeti.
Please note that referring to themselves as Mkats instead of The Meerkats is a strategy that will hopefully allow them to connect with the Youth of today in the same way that P Diddy does.
