Cats And Cats and tours and albums And Cats

Proggy-popsters from the English south, Cats And Cats And Cats are playing a great many live dates in October, and also have a good-looking all-dayer arranged.

Before the dates, album news, from the horses' mouths:

"We will be recording our debut album in November in Wales with Tom Woodhead from Forward Russia producing. It will feature 12 brand new tracks and is yet to be given a title. Pretty much all of the album will feature in our live set on the October tour. We still need way more money to record it mind you! We're also looking for a new label to work with for the release of the album. If they could get in touch at catsandcatsandcats@hotmail.com that'd be brilliant."
