Cat Party started in 2007. They are a post-punk band from Orange County, CA. Since
then they're released a hanful of records and been playing shows non stop. They've
played up and down the west coast states as well as the southwest. This year their send
full length entitled "Rhapsody In Black" is being released. Sticking to their DIY roots the
band is releasing limited versions of the cd while Sabotage records out of Germany is
handling the vinyl. Release date for the new record is scheduled to be May 16, 2011.
Rhapsody In Black was recorded at Cal State University, Domiguez Hills. Our friend Josh
McKendry (Jisaw Thoughts 7", The Aftertaste/Cut City split 7", Heartache Over Headache
EP)
was finishing up school, getting his bachelors in sound engineering.
We recorded everything there as part of his final project and later fixed up 25% of the
record (bass/vocals) down in San Clemente at Jasmine Studios. This record was done
entirely by Ryan and Roger, Roger on drums and Ryan handling guitar, bass, and vocals.
We are very proud of this record. There's some typical Cat Party tunes on here as well as
some songs that took on a new direction/approach. I hope everyone enjoys the record,
we worked extremely hard on this one. We owe Joshbig time!
