Calling all Chicks and Cats! It’s time to swing and skank to Germany’s hottest live act! Turn back the clock to the Swinging Forties and Fifties, add some Jamaican Ska to the mix, and in a nutshell you have BLACK CAT ZOOT! Formed in 2001, Black Cat Zoot has spent the past 5 years perfecting their unique swing-ska sound, playing over 60 live shows in Germany, Austria, and Italy alone! It’s no surprise that BCZ quickly came to the attention of the legendary DR RING DING, who offered to arrange/produce their debut album “Main Attraction”. DR DING DING was so enamored by the band’s energy and beautiful female lead vocals (in the vein of Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald), that he picked up his trombone – grabbed a microphone – and joined in! Quite often, the live shows of BCZ feature special guest appearances from the band’s unofficial “8th member” !

Black Cat Zoot’s songs capture the listener instantly, dance floor friendly tunes with peppy tempos, catchy horns, and flirty vocals. Imagine you’re in a speakeasy, watching a hot cabaret show while sippin’ on bathtub gin! If that’s too long ago….how about a more recent memory - those crazy 90s when radio was filled with happy songs from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, Save Ferris, Reel Big Fish, and The Toasters? Fans couldn’t keep up! Swing and ska shows galore! Clubs were all filled with lindy-hopers, venues crammed with sweaty teens dancing to ska! It’s like that all over again with BLACK CAT ZOOT! Sounds you have come to know and love once again by way of huge revivals in the USA…..but now that the hype has come and gone, bands can once again concentrate on playing the music they LOVE for people who LOVE the music! Swing! Ska! BLACK CAT ZOOT is here to make you DO THE DIRTY DANCE!

For Fans of: The Toasters, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, Save Ferris, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Slackers, Dr Ring Ding
