About me: KITTY WAMPUS..."That lil' ol' band with a whole lotta soul"... From Knoxville TN....Consisting of former band members of "The Hip-Twangers" & "The Cat Daddy Band".
Rick Vance (drums/vocals) is well known as being one of the most versatile drummer/vocalists in the Knox. area well known for an old school, roots approach to layin' down a groove. Rick has worked with some well-known groups locally and regionally, as well as some top-name acts.In addition, doing duty as a bartender and Reggae/R&B disc jockey, plus having once had a nightclub here has made him quite recognizable....
Duane Parks (bass/vocals)is a versatile musician who not only plays bass, but also keyboards & guitar, and has also played with some of the top bands in the Knox. area going back quite a few years, as well as some top-name groups. Duane is regarded as one of the best bass players in East Tenn....Duane & Rick are affectionately known as "The Gemini Rhythm Section"....
Walter Moore(guitar/vocals)a phenomenal musician and well known multi-talent. Walter also plays bass, drums and keyboards and is an accomplished sound & stage engineer.He is well known from his outstanding recording and performance with local, regional and national acts....
Cat Daddy (keyboards/vocals) having performed all over the world, from Europe to Australia, and from Korea to the Caribbean, is new to the area. And like the others is versatile in being able to play other instruments (bass & drums). Cat also has credits of having played with some top groups in the areas he has lived in, as well as some major acts from The Drifters to Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc....
Jeff Comas (guitar/vocals)is another phenomenal musician who also plays several instruments, including mandolin, bass & keyboards. Jeff has also played with some of the top groups locally as well as some top name acts. Jeff is also the teacher/owner of a music school called Allied Music Instructors (http://www.alliedmusicinstructors.com)....
All the members of the band have had extensive road & recording experience, having traveled & recorded with both local & big name groups.
This band is currently playing local venues. And we, as well as the club owners, are real pleased with the reception we've gotten everywhere...
Everyone in the band writes music, and although we're currently playing covers (as well as originals) in the clubs, we're working on our 1st CD that we hope to have out very soon. We seem to be generating a lot of enthusiasm in people and really appreciate the niceness we have received everywhere we go...We really do love all of you!!!!!!!!!
Everyone in the group, although we all have our own egos, have no problem conceding to the other if it's good for the band. It's very hard to find four people who share the same interests and goals in music, plus really enjoy being around each other, all of which is very beneficial if you're going to be in the music business. Our enjoyment of what we do comes across to the audience, which in turn makes them enjoy themselves...and... in turn makes us enjoy ourselves even more..."What goes around, comes around".
We want to invite everyone to come and get the "Kitty Wampus Fever" and be a part of the excitement....We're saving a seat for all of our friends on our "Kitty Wampus Bus to Success" WE TRULY LOVE YOU ALL!!!
ALL-ABOARD
