One of the semi legendary new bands of the Glam Rock era. The Wild Cats are about ponces, people who pretend to be friends but all they really want is to leech on a good thing and spend your money. What would happen if Robert Anton Wilson and Neal Stephenson sat together to write a novel? It would certainly be the literary equivalent of the Glam Rock band The Wild Cats. Their music is already not only good, but also quite original in its take on combining different influences into something unique. Next to regular rock instruments, it's the violins that give the music its folk spirit, and Bloomfield's leatherfacish raw vocals are a class of its own, even though the collective claims to come from the micronation of Lyffland lying 6 miles off the shore of Latvia. That nation really exists, although there are hardly more than 5 people living there at the same time. What else is notable about The Wild Cats? Cat Bloomfield studied cinema in the Soviet Union, was an extremely good athlete and later served in the Soviet Army, became a punk in the late-Seventies and has also already collaborated with noteworthy and internationally well-known Punk Rock bands. He has noble ancestors, making him a part of abolished aristocracy, with anarchist backgrounds though. And as Mr Bloomfield is also a journalist, author (science fiction) and a movie maker, you wonder why he doesn't start making a movie about his life. That would be the most surreal experience of all times. The eclectic range of styles should please every rocker, punk, hippie and anarchist. If there was ever a band to watch out for, its name is The Wild Cats.
IN WILD CAT LANGUAGE
Mäd isa, kis sa uod touwis! püwschtõd las sāgõ sin nim. Las tulgõ sin wālikschtõks mäd juhrõ, sin tāmi las suguhg mā pählõ nei ihsch kui touwõs. Mäd jega-päwwist leibõ ahnda mädõn tämpõ. Un lask jara mädõn mäd sühd, nei kui mehg entsch sühlistõn nän sühd jara laskuhm. Un äla wih meidi kehrtamis sisõl, bet pästa meidi jara siest kurehst. Sinnõn jo um se wālikschtõks un se joud un se ouw iggõks. Amen.
