TOMMY TOUSSAINT - "COSMIC CAVERNS"

CATS PURRING is proud to present COSMIC CAVERNS, a free digital E.P. of new material from TOMMY TOUSSAINT. Tommy was living in Athens, Georgia, where he played with RED LEGS and LITTLE FRANCIS and spent his spare time exploring caverns of the Deep South. More recently, he's traveled the world as a member of DENT MAY's band. According to Tommy, these six songs were recorded "in a cave in North Georgia," and the E.P. was mastered by Neil Zumwalde, who has worked with VELVET DAVENPORT. Drawing from influences as diverse as new jack swing, 60s pop, new age, and all forms of psychedelia, COSMIC CAVERNS is a warped and wonderful slice of pop magic.

TV BUDDHAS + DOOMSTAR! @ RED STAR 9/14

TV BUDDHAS (Tel Aviv, Israel + Berlin, Germany)
Self proclaimed kings of geek bubblegum! Heavily influenced by The Ramones, The Replacements and Richard Hell, with lyrics leaning more towards the outsider approach of Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers.

DOOMSTAR! (Cambridge, MA)
"’60s style R&B attitude a la The Pretty Things collide head-first with a jangly entanglement of treble and echo laden garage stomp brutality. This is the surf rock for oil contaminated beaches." -Decibel Tolls

DJ HARRY LOUCHINS (of Airships) on the virtual 1's & 2's!

Cover is $5
Doors at 9pm
Bands start promptly at 10pm
