Sounds LikeCody Chesnutt met Har Mar Superstar out buying asparagus and together they went to the house of Ben Folds, calling at Michael Jackson's house on the way to see if he wanted to come along. "Only if I can bring Floyd Huddleston with me" he said. "Of course you can" laughed Cody, who was playing with a yo-yo. Prince was already there when they arrived, which was a lovely surprise! "Why don't we have a jam" said Har Mar. "There's already jam in these cakes!!" said Daft Punk. How they all laughed! After the lovely joke, they all decided it was a great idea to make some nice music together and went into the front room with their instruments and began to play.

That's what we sound like, only much, much worse.

Acoustic Version of Daft Punk’s Digital Love live at the BBC


Video for ’Miss Fit’ from our first EP


"Cats in the Alley are what Future Sounds is all about, and something for Stoke to feel cheerful over... one of the most original and life-affirming things Future Sounds has had the pleasure to hear and as we have promised, if they are not huge then we’ll start buying our albums from coffee shops, despite not even liking coffee."
Tom Hocknell, Rockfeedback.com, January 2008 [Full review]

"Sounding like a whole host of people, from the Jacksons to Ultravox, Cats in the Alley offer a relentlessly entertaining set... Ol ‘The AristoCat’ Masters plays some interestingly nimble bass lines, while Dan ‘The WildCat’ Tierney strums up a storm behind his clean, but passionate vocals. Everything they do is very danceable, as one would expect, and their last number, an absolutely huge production, was brought to a close with some fantastic Earth, Wind and Fire-like electronic scat singing by Tom." (stokesounds.co.uk)

"Cats in the Alley provided the audience with bass, keyboards, guitar, and vocals...The message was clear to the audience, come close, have a good listen and don’t stop smiling." onAir review, October 2006

"Entertaining, original, inventive, utterly compelling, mad as a box of soapy frogs... One word to describe Cats in the Alley - cream" The Talk Magazine, York

"A breath of fresh air." MC Lars

"Three of the best musicians we have ever had on the show." Matt Lee, BBC Radio Stoke

"Mazing. A-mazing. So good I left off the A." Dave Hamer, BBC Radio Stoke

"An honour to work with. Hopefully they’ll go on to take over the world" Lee Giacopazzi, mastering engineer

"Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick... F*ck me, you guys got more sh*t up your sleeves than an orang utan in a trench coat!" DJ Chef
