Cats on Holiday have been a busy mainstay of the local music scene since the mid 1990s when former Lucky Pierre members Denis DeVito and Dave Sima founded the band to perform a lively mix of blues and rock, influenced by Louisiana Zydeco and swamp rock. DeVito still leads the lineup, which has shifted over the years, with his energetic accordion and guitar playing, vocals and his original tunes, which the band augments with a selection of diverse covers. You’ll find them a numerous festivals all summer, as well as area clubs during the winter.
Now the band is offering its fans a new package of music it’s calling Cat Flash: it’s available on flash drive to play in your car’s USB port. It features 32 tunes, including 26 band originals, with selections from each of the band’s previous four release, plus six new recordings. Former Lucky Pierre artist Roger Von Golling provided the artwork.
Want to catch the band and pick up a copy in person? They’ll be rocking out at Forest City Brewery on Thursday January 2.
