The Flying Cats The Flying Cats are a Rockabilly-Blues Trio: vocals, guitar, drums and double bass with an incredible vintage sound and a repertoire of originals. ![]() We've been around since
2005 playing at the Bolognini Theater in Pistoia Tuscany, when we got
into the final of the Pistoia
Blues Festival the most important blues
Festival of Italy. We
have played in pubs and made square events for many years. We have been
probably
the first Rockabilly band in the world with a female drummer and we
have never played more than a 33% of Rockabilly standards, 66% being
originals written by me. So we have never been a Rockabilly band just
like any other, dear boys! According
to reviews, The Flying Cats are one of the best Rockabilly
bands from Italy or the very best, capable to renew this music style
with new original songs which will be remembered for years to come. Our
songs have been broadcasted outside Italy by Radio Sensations (France) in
their Rockabilly dedicated broadcasting named "Memphis Tennessee".
We have received congratulations and invitation to play in
Long Beach (CA) at the Ink'N'Iron
Festival. ![]() In my mind, initially
it had to be only a band for just working and playing around, a sort of
a go-back to the music that made me happy when I was a little child. Rockabilly is a very special musical language that fits my personality, it is direct and ironical as I really am in real life (who knows me could tell you about that) iIt permits me to say many things in a way which is the most natural for me. It is like Zen philosophy. Those who can't appreciate this music are somewhat sick of intellectualism. Life ain't simple so keep your language and your lifestyle simpler. What do you have to loose? Or to say it with a great writer: "Only great minds can afford a simple style" Stendhal WHERE TO LISTEN TO THE
MUSIC
Being a live driven
band, producing and publishing had never
been important to us... we just made 2 EP on CD in 2009/2010
and I never got them online. I would like
to play in some Rockabilly Festival in UK because we never played
there. So if you live there and can arrange something, let me
know. |
