We are three troublesome lads who enjoy getting together and churning out guitar-driven rock. We smoke cigarettes, drink tequila and cheap beer. We talk about our weekend bar brawls, broads and how to avoid stalkers. We end up writing about all our mischievous adventures into well-crafted rock songs. Garage Rock songs for the blue collar folk, the broken hearted, the walked on, the unlucky and the unsung heroes. That is Blackcat Elliot in a nutshell. Read our reviews, our accomplishments and who we shared the stage with right here on our myspace page. It's been eight wonderful years and we're still Rockin-N-Rollin. We got some tunes here on myspace so give them a listen. If you like what you hear, you can buy any of our albums on cdbaby.com or purchase any of our songs through iTunes. Better yet, we'll see ya at the next Rock-N-Roll show.
