Kat Rocket

Kat Rocket consists of keyboardist/singer/songwriter Stella Panacci, guitarist/singer/songwriter Darren Danish, bassist/singer/songwriter Paul Pfisterer, guitarist Dave Sera and drummer Geoff Hen. Their latest release, the full-length CD, Colours on the Inside, takes the listener through a musical ; carnival ride of heavy punk riffs, sloppy funk, ambient trip hop, codeine influenced pop, and spaced out country rock. Upon first listen, the listener can hear a completely new approach to music. The listener is certainly going to be thrown off guard by the band's unpredictable way of structuring their songs. Bridges pop out of nowhere, noisy passages appear in unpredictable places, but most apparent is Kat Rocket's disregard for any musical formula.

This is what some critics had to say about their last release:

"Kat Rocket is a blast waiting to happen… Musically, Kat Rocket's trajectory is already established. Substantial ground has been covered between albums, with the straight-up pop-rock of the band's indie debut release transmuted into the eclectic 'psychedelic country rock with touches of new wave of Captured."
~ Lenny Stoute, Toronto Star.

"Songwriting/ visionary core of Stella and Darren dismissed more pretentious and excessive ideas before coffee this morning than most art-rock pretenders will have in a year. But this team isn't interested in tightening up their sound, nor in making sure that their sound is consistent over the course of ten songs. Captured comes across as the ambitious thesis project of star students; the one designed to piss off the establishment. It does nothing that even the indie-rock cognoscenti will respect - it's scattered, erratically recorded, and hauntingly beautiful."
~ James Keast, Exclaim.
