"Stiff Dead Cat closed down the stage with a potent brew of bluegrass, folk, and jazz. The band got everyone on their feet...the music embraced many different styles, exactly the sort of inclusiveness that makes the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival itself so dynamic." -Heidi De Vries, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass
"I had a revelation the last time I saw Stiff Dead Cat at the
Fillmore. Even though way more than half the crowd had never heard
them before, the entire venue ate them up and wanted more. Here was
a band that no one could have any business not liking. Their
ridiculously talented musicianship is coupled with an almost
backyardsy feel -- but not just anybody's backyard. Maybe it's a
backwoods backyard, where even though they're happy to let you in on
the party, you get the feeling something slightly sinister could
happen at any moment."
-Beth Lisick, journalist and author of Everybody into the Pool
Stiff Dead Cat, a four piece band emerging from the hills of Northern California, have distilled a combination of Bluegrass, Jazz, Blues, Jug-Stomp, and Funk into what they call- Porch Punk. Whatever you want to call it, its raw, freight-train poundin power, full of blazing licks and high-spirited improv, is bringing audiences to new heights with acoustic music. Stiff Dead Cat tears through their roots of mountain and swamp music with wood and wire to push the limits and show what they think music is made for. Stiff Dead Cats music conjures up tragic and comedic images of the backwoods and it is a window into a lifestyle both wayward and contagious.
Though members of the band have been playing together for over 12 years, Stiff Dead Cat became an entity 6 years ago with Sweaty Paws, their first album and accompaning tour. For their second album, they teamed up with pop-producer, Gregory Haldan (Joey Calio, Vinyl, Samantha Stolenwerk) and producer/engineer Oz Fritz (Tom Waits, George Clinton, Bill Laswell) to make the ground-breaking album, Snake Oil. The bands big sound was captured so well on analog tape by this team, that Stiff Dead Cat used the same recipe for their third and coming album, Molotov Barbeque.
Stiff Dead Cats burning performance style has earned them the right to spread their unique sound to classic Bay Area venues like the Fillmore, the Mystic, and the Great American Music Hall; and festivals like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and the Harmony Festival. Their engaging blend of sonic mischief has wielded them a large following and achieved them a Norbay Award for Best Bluegrass/Cajun/Folk Band. When they leave their barns and coops to play a show, one thing is certain, folks cant seem to quench their thirst for this brand of music.
