Details:
Black Cat Revival (BCR) has been appropriately dubbed by the media as Modern Pop Music's Evil Twin. Dark, theatrical rock; deep hooks & poetic verse backed by solid jazz-influenced musicianship, enhanced by a powerful multimedia live show. Be afraid, be amused, be entertained. Fans of progressive, alternative, and art rock, metal, pop and avant-garde jazz all find a friend in Black Cat Revival.

Within four years the band has self-released two albums on their own label Quan Productions, designed all of their own art & media materials, started their own publishing company "Whoopety-Smacks Music", and secured legal representation. BCR successfully supported a national college radio campaign with their second release, âLife at the Gallows,â that earned them 9th Most Added Album on CMJ in December 2003, with rotation on 100+ stations including embracement from the Upper Room with Joe Kelly, most notably with the songs Transylvanian Moonshine & White. Their songs have been placed in compilations, film projects, adapted to theatre, and licensed for TV--including most recently the appearance of "Big Blue Machine" and âDiamondback Jawsâ on MTV's Real World and "Diamond City Shook" on the We Are the Future's âVoice Your Choiceâ compilation. Their music has also appeared in conjunction with comic books, art openings and stand-up comics.

Through hard work, word-of-mouth, and buzz, they've grown their mailing list to over 500 citizens, a quarter of which are Street Team members, in less than a year. Their consistent Columbus draw has brought in up to 400 people at headlining shows, and theyâve been met with growing enthusiasm in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Athens, Dayton, Lexington, Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Baltimore, Chicago, Louisville, and other cities. BCR has shared the stage with nationals acts including Whirlwind Heat, Guest, Freekbass, Jello Biafra, LP, and Buckra, showcased three years in a row at the Midpoint Music Festival, and continually receive positive reviews. The bandâs focus is on continuing to expand their audience through regional touring in numerous Midwest, Southern, and Eastern markets, including Detroit, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Morgantown, Knoxville, Nashville, as well as those mentioned above. In order to keep building that sphere outward, they are touring.

HEREâS WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID:
â...(BCR) are one of the most unique bands I've ever heard, on Starpolish or elsewhere...and Iâm guessing their live show is absolutely killer. âTransylvanian Moonshineâ is a pleasantly moody synth masterpiece...with a Broadway Musical-worthy vocal performance...â -Gail Worley, Freelance Rock Critic
âEqual parts Prince and King Crimson, with a touch of Nick Cave drama thrown inâ¦pastoral space rock and menacing art funkâ¦â -Rick Allen, The Other Paper
âA keen sense of histrionic melodrama and a touch of pop that makes some of the oddest time-changes and instrumentation seem melodiously amiable. If you think Primus is âtoo metalâ and Ween isnât catchy enough, Life at the Gallows could well become your favorite disc.â -Brian OâNeill, The Other Paper
"I only hope they continue to expand on their own sound...the next album will be a masterpiece." -Night Watchmen, Tastes Like Chicken
