"In the vibrant, horn-heavy heart of New Orleans, an enigmatic new squad is bubbling up from the underground club scene. A self-described psychedelic-rock outfit, Atom Cat is carving out a space in the Crescent City’s crowded ecosystem with a sound built on stylistic commingling, ambitious adventures in loud rock n’ roll, and an unflappable faith in the concept of “Cat Music.”“This band was ready to be born,” says bassist Blue Carl, his voice carrying the humble reverence of someone who knows he’s merely holding the leash of a very large, very loud animal. “It would have happened with or without us.
