Aphra's Cat

Aphra’s Cat are an unabashed melange of soda-pop melodies and manic screams, of crystal-clear guitar leads and discordant riffs. Aphra’s Cat are the sounds that surface when The Breeders start having Siamese Dreams about Gold Lions growling through a Victrola.

Inspired by seventeenth century poet, Aphra Behn, the first recognised female poet in England, this female-fronted indie rock trio pay lyrical homage to the poetry and intrigue of this feminine icon and wonder whether she ever had a cat.

With all three band members originally meeting on the unlikely stages of musical theatre, it was inevitable that their thespian tendencies would surface in their live shows. Aphra’s Cat deliver explosive rockriography, aided by their signature glam-rock face painted whiskers.

Often decribed as the noughties version of Josie and the Pussycats this kitten never fails to get audiences purring.
