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

GOBBLE GOBBLE LATE NITE HOUSE SHOW 8/26

"The space-time fluctuations between GOBBLE GOBBLE’s last hermetic flu-gaze sacrifice has eclipsed the infinitely-many quantum mechanical predictions. The 8-bit pop peculiarity has transcended into a neo-audible movement of Masonic proportions. On top of a dazzling live show, main songwriter Cecil Frena’s ability to funnel radio-pop insanity through a gnarled nozzle of chromatic-pop has aggrandized; jarring cut-ups, blasted synth workouts, and the crunchiest pop-riddums you’ve ever heard." - Weird Canada

GOBBLE GOBBLE will bring their MOBILE RAVE INFINITOUR to 401 S 18th St in Oxford, MS, after the COLOUR REVOLT show at Proud Larry's tomorrow (Thursday 8/26). See y'all there!

BACK TO SKOOL W/ G-SIDE @ PROUD LARRY'S 8/20

Internationally acclaimed Huntsville rap duo G-SIDE will be headlining our BACK 2 SKOOL BASH this Friday 8/20 at Proud Larry's. PITCHFORK describes their sound as "a woozy, synth-based, bottom-heavy crawl that treats big-room trance the way OutKast and UGK records used to treat 70s soul." For a sample of their distinctly Southern yet innovative jams, check out G-SIDE's essential HUNTSVILLE INTERNATIONAL MIXTAPE.

Opening the show will be the excellent Jackson, MS hip hop groop B.O.M.B. SQUAD w/ special guests! Tickets are $8, and the show starts at 10PM sharp. See y'all there!
