1101.0. "The Family Cat" by RAB::KARDON (As seen on TV) Fri Jan 08 1993 15:28

    Has anybody out there heard of a band called "the Family Cat"?
    
    Besides having a really cool name, I hear that PJ Harvey sings
    on a couple of tracks on their latest (only?) release.

    The Family Cat are an excellent band. I have seen them live at Brixton
    when they supported Carter. Don't hold that against them though....

    They've had several singles now, but I only managed to get hold of one
    of them and it's called "river of diamonds" or something....
    Steamroller Man was their biggest "hit" so far and is an excellent
    tune. I have sent off their freepost thingy that I got at Carter, but
    have so far recieved no reply or anything...

    What do they sound like?
    And have you ever seen their album "Feathers From the Sun"?

Scott, run down to Tower in Harvard Square, there are at least two Family
Cat CD Singles for $1.00 each! That will provide you with a sampling of
their sound. My opinion is its fairly hard and fast not unlike the Buzzcocks.
(Also check out the Slow Bongo Floyd and Farm CD singles for $0.25!)

    A *DOLLAR* each!!
    
    Isn't that a little steep!  :-)
    
    Do either of them feature Polly Jean?
