Peter Cat
Glaswegian art pop auteurs PETER CAT return to Edinburgh on 17th May for a full band headline show at Sneaky Pete's, ahead of their colossal new single and eponymous album, 'Starchamber'!
About Peter Cat
Starchamber takes a hammer to the jaunty, twee avant-pop that Peter Cat formerly traded in from the opening salvo of discordant, fuzzy guitar lines duelling with soaring, operatic vocals, it's clear that we're in entirely new sonic territory.
There are shades here of Frank Zappa's caustic playfulness, combined with a jazz-inflected crushing heaviness inspired by King Crimson, keeping this tune in step with the likes of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Black Midi. All of this adds up to create a vibe that's somehow both groovy and apocalyptic.
Catch this radical new direction in the flesh for the first time at Sneaky Pete's, Edinburgh. Main support from The Raeburn Brothers and What It Means.
14+ show (if accompanied). 14-17 year olds must be accompanied by an adult. No refunds will be given for incorrectly booked tickets. We reserve the right to breathalyse anyone under the age of 18. Refusal or failure of the test will result in entry being denied.
*****
PETER CAT is a singer and songwriter from Glasgow, Scotland, crafting offbeat and experimental pop that crosses genre boundaries with ease, yet never straying far from a great hook.
His back catalog incorporates a wide range of influences, from angular indie rock, analog synth-pop, and torch-song balladeering; all undergirded by a wry and sardonic bass-baritone croon; like Berlin-era Bowie crossed with Frank Zappa.
Peter Cat's debut LP, The Saccharine Underground, was released in 2020 through MoFi Records and distributed through Scottish indie heavyweight Last Night From Glasgow. This was followed by the well-received EP The Magus in 2022, which spawned fan favourite single, 'Melon Dating Simulator!!', a surreal track about cross-species dating in an imagined future dystopia.
Peter Cat's forthcoming second full-length, Starchamber, will be released through Cambridge-based Trapped Animal Records in late 2025.
