BOBKAT '65 "This Lonely Road" (Get Hip Recordings GH-1965)
Brand new limited edition vinyl LP—only 200 copies pressed!!
March 2015: inspired by mid-1960s American “Teenbeat-Kiddie Garage” records, three friends from Asturias in Northern Spain decide to form a band. Even their name is unique, inspired by the Bobkat model guitar manufactured by the Harmony Company in the mid-60s.
Focused on writing and performing songs in this mold, Ana (Guitar, Vocals), Paula (Bass, Vocals) and Diego (Drums) played their very first live gig six months later in Oviedo, Asturias. Building on the success of their debut, more shows followed in Spain, France, England, and Portugal. The trio also performed at Garage Rock Festivals in Barcelona, Spain (Mini Gambeat), France (Mess My Mind), and Hamburg, Germany (Garageville).
BOBKAT’65 recorded their first pair of songs at Estudios Circo Perrotti in Gijon with help from well-known analog recording studio owner/producer Jorge Explosion, issued in late spring 2016 to rave reviews worldwide
That brings us to July 2017 and the release of BOBKAT’65’s debut album, THIS LONELY ROAD. Jorge Explosion manned the control board again, capturing new, original material and a handful of well-chosen obscurities recorded by American Teenbeat combos. The album’s unifying theme mirrors that of the vast majority of tunes featured on the Pebbles and Teenage Shutdown compilation series: loneliness—the feeling of being an outcast,  finding it difficult to fit in. Songs range in style from moody ballads to beat-pounding, punk-tinged rants influenced by well-known ’60s Garage groups like The Dovers, Billy & The Kids, The Nightcrawlers, and Thursday’s Children–all delivered, of course, with BOBKAT’65’s unique Kiddie Teenbeat Garage Rock vibe.
Factory-sealed from new in high quality tip-on card sleeve with MP3 download.
