More Katz And Cougarz.
“Soon enough they have the entire crowd singing along to their contagiously fun camp ditties – infused with a jumble of influences from Balkan Gypsy Folk to Cowboy Blues to Burlesque and everything else in between. Very obvious musical talents underpin their flair for colourful showmanship, preventing them from sounding like a novelty act.
Closing the set with sing-to-the-rafters, 4-piece a cappela ‘God’s Great Dust Storm’, they demonstrate how to shift from a lighthearted pop romp to blowing the roof off a cathedral in one move, leaving many a dropped jaw in their wake. Those searching for live entertainment of the highest caliber need look no further”

Sol - The Remix.
So, Sol made her cover version of SBTRKT´s “Hold On” (out on iTunes tomorrow, on the 16th of February) in a fit of boredom home from tour. This remix (made by St3n3, mastered by Hansi) came from pretty much the same place - sunday afternoon after a long weekend in a band van, and a new update of Ableton Live to play around with.
Katzenspotting.

Katz And Signz.
Lilja Häfele made this wonderful DGS (German Sign Language) video for “Rock, Paper, Scissors”.
There is no sound, so all the hearies will either have to provide their own soundtrack, or, as Lilja says, “enjoy the video as a Deaf would do”.
A Really Great Gig! [spendmatters.co.uk]
“The highlight of the evening though was the very wonderful Katzenjammer – simply one of the very best live acts I’ve ever seen. Four Norwegian woman, all demonstrating great musical and vocal talents, who rotate instruments (from accordion to trumpet, glockenspiel to mandolin) and vocals.
Their music encompasses four part harmony (think Fleet Foxes), Balkan folk (Gogol Bordello), pop, and blues (Marianne sings like Janis Joplin). They’re engaging, funny, energetic and their 35 minutes went by in a flash.”
