The planet, the cosmos, the dirt, the oceans, and the trees. The bugs, the cells, the grass, the birds and the bees. The tropics, the eye of light, the germs of disease. The temples of our minds, the beating of our hearts, the light that we can and cannot see. The destruction of society, the rebirth of human, the brain that makes us think of "me". The knights that say "nee", and the bladders of us that make us wanna pee. The dew on grasstips, in the morning, though we'll never see, cause we don't do mornings, understandably. Coffee, and green tea, broccoli, sugarsnap peas and the thing in the back of our minds that, when driving 95 mph down a dirt road, make us think the phrase, "wheeeeeeeeeee".
Sounds Like
When taking a shit, not just a normal one, but one where your brains pop outta your head and the moment of relief washes over you, combined with the confusion of what just happened, that's our sound. It's a journey into one's soul, while that very soul is being ripped outta your ass.
We were Wigglepussy- teaser 2 Black Cat Revival (BCR) has been appropriately dubbed by the media as Modern Pop Music's Evil Twin. Dark, theatrical rock; deep hooks & poetic verse backed by solid jazz-influenced musicianship, enhanced by a powerful multimedia live show. Be afraid, be amused, be entertained. Fans of progressive, alternative, and art rock, metal, pop and avant-garde jazz all find a friend in Black Cat Revival.
Within four years the band has self-released two albums on their own label Quan Productions, designed all of their own art & media materials, started their own publishing company "Whoopety-Smacks Music", and secured legal representation. BCR successfully supported a national college radio campaign with their second release, “Life at the Gallows,” that earned them 9th Most Added Album on CMJ in December 2003, with rotation on 100+ stations including embracement from the Upper Room with Joe Kelly, most notably with the songs Transylvanian Moonshine & White. Their songs have been placed in compilations, film projects, adapted to theatre, and licensed for TV--including most recently the appearance of "Big Blue Machine" and “Diamondback Jaws” on MTV's Real World and "Diamond City Shook" on the We Are the Future's “Voice Your Choice” compilation. Their music has also appeared in conjunction with comic books, art openings and stand-up comics.
Through hard work, word-of-mouth, and buzz, they've grown their mailing list to over 500 citizens, a quarter of which are Street Team members, in less than a year. Their consistent Columbus draw has brought in up to 400 people at headlining shows, and they’ve been met with growing enthusiasm in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Athens, Dayton, Lexington, Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Baltimore, Chicago, Louisville, and other cities. BCR has shared the stage with nationals acts including Whirlwind Heat, Guest, Freekbass, Jello Biafra, LP, and Buckra, showcased three years in a row at the Midpoint Music Festival, and continually receive positive reviews. The band’s focus is on continuing to expand their audience through regional touring in numerous Midwest, Southern, and Eastern markets, including Detroit, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Morgantown, Knoxville, Nashville, as well as those mentioned above. In order to keep building that sphere outward, they are touring. Though, after all is said and done, they are just that. Done. They exist like the wet fart that grandpa shat out yesterday, with the pants already in the wash...
HERE’S WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID: “...(BCR) are one of the most unique bands I've ever heard, on Starpolish or elsewhere...and I’m guessing their live show is absolutely killer. ’Transylvanian Moonshine’ is a pleasantly moody synth masterpiece...with a Broadway Musical-worthy vocal performance...” -Gail Worley, Freelance Rock Critic
“Equal parts Prince and King Crimson, with a touch of Nick Cave drama thrown in…pastoral space rock and menacing art funk…” -Rick Allen, The Other Paper
“A keen sense of histrionic melodrama and a touch of pop that makes some of the oddest time-changes and instrumentation seem melodiously amiable. If you think Primus is ‘too metal’ and Ween isn’t catchy enough, Life at the Gallows could well become your favorite disc.” -Brian O’Neill, The Other Paper
"I only hope they continue to expand on their own sound...the next album will be a masterpiece." -Night Watchmen, Tastes Like Chicken
