Cat Green Bike

Bio:

With fans from Taiwan to Llandeilo Graban..

Hello there. I've just updated the Cat Green Bike blog:

www.catgreenbike.blogspot.com.

It tells you new things and has a picture of my newly acquired cat, Lyell. I have been unwell and not done any gigs for a while but it looks like I'll be getting back on the gig-wagon again very soon. In the meantime I have been growing plants, building shelves, doing crosswords and getting a cat. Expect new songs and videos (most probably containing cats) in the coming summer months...

My name is Xenia. I play the Ukulele. I also sometimes play a saw. I sometimes play on my own. Sometimes I like to play with a varying number and combination of musicians I know, including those ambiguously listed to the left.

Here are some things what some lovely people wrote...
"Hailing from Bristol, Cat Green Bike's minimal micro-epic ukelele sub-balladry brims with the wry witticisms of a closet English Eccentric. Gingerly plucked melodic lines that nod as far east as Canterbury with prog-rock spines are interwoven with a satiric, dryly humored vocal counterpoint in hushed home-counties tones. Cat Green Bike will laugh at the slugs she pours salt on." Team Brick

"Floats along like a balloon on an adventure to the woods" Iglu Production

"Already played on Tom Robinson’s BBC 6Music Introducing show, Xenia Randle is riding the crest of the wave. Cat Green Bike is the sound of a definitely plucked ukulele, a saw, and a fertile imagination. Already amassing fans, her melodic lines are a treat to behold backing up her more-than-justified cult status in Bristol and beyond." Toby Field, BBC Introducing

Cat Green Bike has made various incarnations of a CD, the latest of which is Breakbeat/Thrash/Concrete, which made its first appearance on the 28th of February at Ukelear Meltdown in Newcastle. It is the usual Radiohead style pay what you like job.
