- Retro Retro Retro...

In musical terms if you were to mix up a whole lot of Chris Isaak, Rick Nelson, Buddy Holly, Elvis and Eddie Cochran with a pinch of rockabilly then the results would not be far off what The Blue Cougars have to offer. The Blue Cougars at this point is more of a project rather than a gigging band, the main objective as of now is to build the portfolio of songs and then bring on guest musicians if and when the time is right to perform live gigs and of course if people like the music.

Lead vocalist Rene Dwight would be comfortable singing wicked game, Be Bop A Lula or even his latest flame but Dwight would tell you himself that he is more comfortable performing his own compositions... I have tried covering many many rockin tracks in my time "says Dwight" but I have come to the conclusion that my voice is really only suited to a small niche amid 50's style music.... why sing someone else's song pretty badly and be compared when I can "get away" with singing my own tracks badly but not be compared [ just joking ]?...

To sum up the Blue Cougars....

The Cougars sound is cool enough that your sister the hardcore clubber would like them and of course those of you who have a passion for anything related to the fifties will think it is starting "all over again" with a brand new wrapper.

It also has to be said that The Blue Cougars own tracks would sit well in Quentin Tarantino sountrack or any other movie come to think of it, somehow these guys have been able to sneak into modern times without losing any of the mystique or feel of yesteryears fondness for a melody that can be easily remembered

Haunting melodies and atmospheric moods.........
