CATS & CATS & CATS

Dust, Brighton

Cats and Cats and Cats are an experimental math rock band from Staines, England. After forming in 2004 the group disbanded in 2012 after releasing 3 albums and an EP; as well as having toured the UK and Europe extensively and even a trip to the US. 

Other notable performances include Glastonbury Festival in 2007, a live session for Huw Stephens at Maida Vale Studios, supporting Forward Russia and 65 Days of Static on tour as well as running a number of ‘Cats All Dayers’ at the infamous Windmill, Brixton.

After a lighthearted ‘what if?’ conversation with James Scarlett of ArcTanGent festival, original guitarist Adam Leverett rang lead vocalist and songwriter of Cats, Ben George, to propose a reunion…

Remaining members from the early days of the band also leapt at the chance, and alongside longterm friend and confidant Lee Richardson standing in on drums, the band were back together.

In the summer of 2024 the band performed their first show in 12 years at a sold out Lexington in London, before taking to the Bixler stage and more than impressing the die-hard fans and a curious audience in a packed out tent.
