Henry is, apparently, not unlike a little dragon!

Tuesday 20th July

here’s a wee link to our performance of Henry’s Like a Little Dragon on BBC Two’s Immeal Gael last Monday (click here). Despite a slight drum mishap (they fell over mid-song) the good people at Big Mountain productions have slickly edited another fine Katco performance. Enjoy the hell out of it!

Spending these weekends holed up in Ghost Noise Studios (Paul Fox’s bedroom) in the spookyily remote Crumlin countryside has been an eye opener for myself, Scottzer and Ms O’Neill. We’ve have had the pleasure of helping the Fantastic Mr Fox, our drummer cum producer, corner a distinctly Kittys flavour to the music.

Deciding that home recording was the best way to capture our sound, we decided to break with our record label last April. So successful have the sessions been we have abandoned the initial plan to re-record some of the old stuff with the current line-up- the record will consist of all new material, with contributions from each member of the band, much of it written on the spot.

Expect a more studio orientated sound than last time, but don’t fret; we’ll be keeping it intimate and handmade as ever. We’ve got a release date too- 29th September in Charlie’s Cafe. Unlike most EP Launches, we will not be charging in and as ever with Charlies, you can bring your own booze, confection, whatever.

In other news our Empire show in August has been postponed to October/November time, which is handy because by then we’ll have a CD to flog! We’ve been scaling back on our live performances lately in favour of recording, reflecting, writing and sometimes just old fashioned hanging out- being all part of the process, we hope the new record will reflect some of the fun we’ve been having!

Talk to yas soon ;)

KATCO xx.
