Koffin Kats

s/t   reissue

(Ring of Fire / Koffin Kats Records)

Might there yet breathe persons ignorant of the Kats' habitation on Psychobilly's storm-ravaged, topmost plateau? It is a land where mis-spirited and noisome blasties roam, snorting disdain at normalcy's staidness. Koffin Kats' free-for-all spectacles - be they grooved or atop performative floorboards - are ones from which recovery is both unobtainable and undesired. 

Their 2006 debut waxing has been re-released in two versions. One was issued by the feral ones, themselves. Ring of Fire dispensed a European limited edition. 500 copies of Ring's were cobbled, with random vinyl colorations and a four-color insert cast into the bargain.

Recommended: "Graveyard Tree," "Red Alert," "V8 Nightmare," "Koffin Kat Rock," "Sleep"

Videos: "Graveyard Tree" (live 2013)   "V8 Nightmare" (live 2012)   "Sleep" (live 2006)

Higher Lows

(Koffin Kats Records)

These premiere psychos are poised to rend the globalside with fists-forward accomplices. This serrated enterprise illustrates the splenetic uproar soon to be unleashed. Imagine pissed-off hornets with tommy guns. 

Recommended: "Happy Hour," "Higher Lows," "Black Box," "Tuning In," "Way Out There," "Ride Like Hell"

Live! From the Garbage Truck

(Crabatodia)

"A thrilling apocabilly Jazz experience," gasps the Bandcamp account of this experimentalism gone gaga. Theremin hitches with a standard lineup, traversing territories mysterious. Striking among luring attributes are saxophone weavings (that sometimes, curiously, evoke visions of betasselled flying carpets circling Pluto) and, well, unnerving throat histrionics. Crunched guitar shards wallop. Ensemble players of such caliber they've opened for Reverend Horton Heat and the Koffin Kats. Magnetically eccentric. 

Recommended: "Star Cruise," "Sleepin' on the Side of the Road," "Undead King," "Garbage Truck," "Philornis Fly," "Bottonless Pit"
