Cats on the Beach

CLASH MAGAZINE - 'Taking the darker but more organic end of The Cure, getting some baroque pop elements on board care of some fabulous violin playing and harnassing a little Radiohead noir too.'

NEW INDIE MUSIC - 'Classic alt/indie songcraft and performance with nods to The Cure, Radiohead and The Libertines. Great stuff.'

GARY CROWLEY of BBC RADIO LONDON - 'The band I've been waiting for.'

BUGBEAR PROMOTIONS - 'Delightful orchestral indie with poetic lyrics. Kind of Radiohead meets The Libertines with violins and trumpets.'

Hi guys. The band met in an E London bar. We mainly tear around the city in ubers that are usually too small for our equipment to play shows that are usually too loud for any clear detection of Rob's vocals. Before these shows we often grab a falafel, have a stab at amusing conversation and, when that fails, move onto existential philosophy, animal rights and red wine. En route back to the venue we vape, smoke and compare egos.

Career highlights include BBC Radio coverage and gigs for the Joe Strummer Foundation for New Music. Gary Crowley, a BBC DJ, said we were 'the band he had been waiting for', which was sweet of him. We fuse alt. rock with violins, trumpets, sizzling guitars, dark poetic lyrics and driving drums, though there's the odd slow dark number. We hope you enjoy our sounds. Why not hit 'Follow' to get our latest releases straight to you? And maybe check out Rob's solo stuff - 'Rob Marenghi'. Kind of Dylan/Nick Drake-esque. Peace xx
