Psychocandy will be hosting CAT PARTY from Orange County on March 7th at Radio Room.

“Cat Party have a neat low-fi, quasi-grungy edge to them, something you don’t see a lot with the many poppier bands around here–their influences include The Replacements and the Murder City Devils–so it should be a good night for those feeling up to odysseying to south county.”
OC Weekly

Cat Party dutifully follows the tradition of power-pop: straight-forward, hook heavy and amplified. Echoes of the Nerves, the Wipers, Sonic Youth and Hüsker Dü jump out in perfect 4/4 from their new self-titled full-length from Flat Black Records. You can just picture the all-ages show behind the skate park under Southern California skies, where Roger, Ryan and Richie honor the tradition of the power trio and create the tableau for skaters to sniff glue and fuck around. Themes of isolation and impending responsibilities will be recognizable to anyone forced to grow up too soon. You’ll nod along to songs like “Product of the Eighties,” “Let The Bullets Through” and “Entitled” and say, “I know this song—I get this.” The intensity offered up here is the same as when you first heard the Descendents in your bedroom or Nirvana at the local record store, but Cat Party effectively shifts and rearranges what came before them instead of falling prey to mere mimicry. The guitars are bright and chiming, the drums thrash and propel, the bass anchors your swirling thoughts. Go get this—you’ll be stoked.

This reminds me of the NERVES but somehow more macho. It has that kind of LA power pop sound sung by boys that seem like they’ve given up in a total sad dissappointment way. “Entitled” moves more towards a less countrified GUN CLUB or some less dramatic NICK CAVE project… Maximum RockNRoll Magazine
