We are a three piece progressive rock band from upstate New York. We dabble in all different genres, from metal and punk to electronica, ambient, and the occasional hip hop flavored odd track.
It's all coming down.
It's all coming down.
Why this name?
My brother laughed at me when I told him that my cat Q tip was in kitty heaven... apparently, some people don't think cat's have souls... I found this funny, because if you back up about 10 billion galaxies, we sort of disappear into space, and all life seems to blend together as components in a very large machine... I'm pretty sure we all share the same soul, although we experience the universe from different view points... None of which matter at the end of time.. Or do they? I'm sure that energy reacts in a binary sort of way... ones and zeros, positive and negative. Our music attempts to pick it all apart, although we are still evolving and of course everything is subject to change. We all came from one atom.
Do you play live?
in some form or another, cdhs has played a sh*** load of cool shows... I would say, Valentines and Lark tavern (rip) are our favs...we sucked hella ass at the halloween freakout back in 2009 at valentines albany, but I don't remember the night that well.. I know I drank a lot, and it was halloween, so that makes good by default... Then there was another show at goodbye blue mondays in drunk, I got really drunk again, but we played well, until Chris put threw his bass in the middle of a song because he broke a string, and took 2 and a half minutes to get his other bass... other than that, it was a good night... I remember smoking bible paper blunts and drinking a bottle of the cheapest wine they had and losing a big bag of weed and being depressed about it in the morning.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
steal our music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
...only if we could keep all creative control.
Band History:
Cats don't have souls was formed in june 2006 by songwriter, multi instrumentalist, vocalist, producer/engineer j. Sebastiano... Over the past 6 years, cdhs has recorded over 100 songs ranging from punk, post punk, goth, and ielectro to progressive epics, sludge metal dirges, hardcore and post hardcore. While there have been many people to come and go in the history of cdhs, in 2009, Matt Bowman joined on drums and managed to hang on to his position without flaking out too many times. In March 2012, Chad O'Conner joined the band to hold down the bass duties... Then he quit 2 months later... Our friend Tom filled in for 2 shows, and then broke his finger less than 3 days before the show... Then Emil Merdzhanov answered an add looking for a permanent bass player, and showed up the next day... and f***ing nailed 8 songs down like a pro.... in the band less than a week... and rocked the f*** out of our set. That's how we do it around here.
