Bio
.. .. Based in Northern California, Plasterkatz is a feisty collective rising on the foaming tide of the New Roots Rock movement. These frisky kats specialize in an upbeat brand of music that really gets crowds jumping. Fusing original rock with traditional music from the more colorful corners of the universe, the band is notorious for delivering a soundscape that sends you from the blazing rock of the 60's and 70's to the neo-traditional sounds of right now!.. This five-member band uses an eclectic variety of instruments, from standard drums-guitar-bass to mandolin, violin, harmonica, saxophone, theremin, bodhran, stand-up electric bass, banjo, megaphone, washboard, djembe, dumbek, spoons, the cool side drum, slide whistle, penny whistle, recorder, ukulele, cabasa, shushooka, keyboards, synthesizer, and concertina. Featuring both male and female lead vocals, the repertoire consists of songs written by every band member, as well as traditional songs dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. .. Plasterkatz has been playing together since 2003, has released an independent album, Past Due, and is currently working on a second live album. Their acclaim has traveled across the oceans to as far away as Hawaii, Ireland, and Switzerland. With decades of musical disciplines behind each member, their experience varies from standard rock and roll to traditional folk to classical training. .. Plasterkatz has performed in San Francisco Bay Area venues such as Ireland's 32, Hotel Utah, Blake's on Telegraph, The Rickshaw Stop, and the Rockit Rock. The diversity of their music has a wide-spectrum appeal that has generated a loyal following. .. All five band members take pride in their ability to open beer bottles with any object you put in their hands. Bear Ears. Capitalized. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... -
