Hi friends, I want to tell you a little bit about the bands performing at my Rockabilly Saturday Night show at the Huntington Moose Lodge on Sat, Nov 16.
The Black Kat Boppers hail from England, on the South Coast in
Southampton. They are four fellas who love to play hard boppin’, jump up, rockin’ blues.
“Think of us as ‘rockin the blues’ if you must, cos that’s the way we roll!”.
Influences include Rhythm & Blues, Jump & Jive, Ska, Doo-Wop. Collectively, when all brought together, Black Kat Boppers sound is raw, authentic, sincere and unique.
Black Kat Boppers formed after some chance meetings, speculative phone
calls and a little bit of fate. A shared love for roots music was clear and they haven’t looked back since. There’s been triumphant performances at Glastonbury many times, Port Eliot, Bestival & Hyde Park (with Blur & The Specials). They’ve rocked Notting Hill Carnival, Rockabilly Rave, Latitude and Viva Las Vegas, not to mention performing a memorable set with Florence and The Machine at Bob Geldof’s 60th birthday party.
They’ve been joined on stage by Damon Albarn and have regularly had Clash legend Paul Simonon playing with the band. Paul Simonon, who has been a great support to them, also appears on their debut album “Boppin Atcha” and has done the sleeve artwork.
Their new album "All Out Rock & Roll" is out on Swelltune Records, a New England based label.
