Vota por el videoclip "In Silence" de CatPeople en los favoritos para el 2009 de la MTV!
CatPeople are a Spanish alternative band from Vigo (Galicia).
The present line-up of the band consists of Adrián PD (vocals),
Javier Abalo (guitar), Nadas (bass guitar), Raul Muñoz (keyboards)
and Paco Iglesias (drums). Halfway through 2005, with a diverse
repertoire and a defined style, the whole band moved to Barcelona
where they still live today. CatPeople’s own variation of indie style
draws on influences from both older and contemporary bands.
In January 2006 and after the success of the demo Catpeople! they
recorded their first album, Reel1. A Few weeks later, it became
the first debut to get to the number one in the Spanish Top Ten of
Mondosonoro magazine.
Reel1 drew critical acclaim from many Spanish audiovisual
aids. Their first single, “Radio”, became a national hit in the
independent scene. The repertoire of the album had a polished style
that would be soon recognized as their brand new sound all their
own. The recording was also published in many other countries.
CatPeople’s popularity was rising in accordance with the release
of their second album, What’s the time Mr. Wolf?, published and
distributed by Pías, and recorded in Blind Records (Barcelona) at the
end of 2007. CatPeople produced the album with the collaboration
of the Blind Joe’s. The recording took more time but they didn’t stop
until they got it perfect. They worked on the sound and the result was
brilliant.
The album consists of twelve moving songs where
anger and melancholy come together. The band’s improvements are
evidenced in each song. Their second album marked an evolution in
CatPeople’s musical style, as it obtained a more consolidated one.
This album has appeared in a large number of listener polls and
critics’ list.
CatPeople began gaining success. It took them to play in
many festivals such as Benicassim, Contempopranea, Sonorama,
and other festivals of international renown (Popkomm, Europavox,
Paredes de Coura). They were the up-and-coming “Band to Watch” by
the time.
With both albums, featuring an expansive sound and themes
full of strength and melancholy, they recruited a wide audience
as seen on their live shows: they have attracted large crowds of fans
to sold-out concerts.
CatPeople are on the right trajectory to become a band
of international renown while becoming a reference point to the
national independent scene.
