CATS IN SPACE
Patti Pavilion, Swansea
Sat 14 Dec
Cats In Space appeared on the music scene in 2015 and have since toured with bands including Thunder, Status Quo, Fairport Convention and Deep Purple. Now they’re touring the UK in their own right to promote fourth album Daytrip To Narnia. Heavy rock is well known for trying to pass corny lyrics off as profound but Cats actively embrace the corn while using it to convey a modern message.
They take you back to the 1970s, a time when rock was unpretentious and a band was a bunch of mates in the back room of a pub. They sing about “how I long for the days of Top Of The Pops” – with songs of the same ilk as Mott the Hoople’s Saturday Gigs.
The Cats cover several bases with their original classic-style rock, pop-rock and power ballads. Founder Greg Hart has written songs for Cher, Asia and Donna Summer and bandmate Steevi Bacon has played with Robin Trower and Ben Poole: in fact, all the Cats are seasoned musicians who have been in the industry for many for years prior to coming together and they can adopt a lot of different musical styles. Dust off your bandana – or buy a new one – and join them for what promises to be a rockin’ good night.
