after playing at college with damon
albarn & graham coxon (later of Blur) james hibbins went on to front twisted
blues-rock band nexus. collecting a fabulously versatile bass player, nick
anderson, from the experience he formed acoustic outfit pavlov's cat as
a vehicle for his highly melodic, dark songs with eclectic influences from
english folk to 70's troubadours, world & jazz.
the first incarnation of the band featured bodhran player ken holland & ex blyth
power keyboard virtuoso darren tansley (now of grunge-funksters jack's family).
now usually a duo & ocassionally a trio with drummer jim read, pavlov's cat have
released 3 albums on AcoustiCity (although the first is now almost impossible to
find) & have been described thus:
'Pavlov's Cat play well, sing well & write very good songs. Highly
recommended!' Clive Gregson - singer-songwriter
"....an interesting mix of traditional & original songs...I really like it"
Mike Harding BBC Radio 2, UK
"Determinedly acoustic....an eye
on life's shadowy side" fRoots Magazine
Hi James, Thanks for the comment - I saw you at High Barn on Friday and had to add you as a friend! I'd also like to second Sheila's comment about your sequel to She Moved Through the Fair. Absolutely loved it. Take care, Ray
Hi James, yes I was at the High Barn on Friday eve, had a really good evening! I esp liked your version of "she moved through the fair". Hope to see you play again in the new year. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sheila x
Hi James, thanks for your message and for taking listen. I enjoyed checking out your material. Liked the raw acoustic rock sound and it not been too over produced. Cool stuff. Keep it up. All the best, Peter @.
Hi James, I haven't heard you for some time and I'm sorry for not staying in touch! But it's great to find you here in this "space", I'm glad to know you're still around as a band and hope you're doing well there. Please let me know about your present musical projects! All the best from Italy, Massimo
Hey James, how's it going? Amazing thing. Went to bed last night as normal as Nantucket. Woke up this morning and found an all singing utterly swinging facsimile of myself in performance on MYSPACE profile (www.myspace.com/seantaylorsongs). If only for the dancing diamondback chorus, it's definitely worth a look and a listen. Peace
It is a wonderful name - I love it when people think of such a simple twist on a theme and I know I would have liked to think of it my self. I liked your music too. Good fortune..
