Life Under The Chemtrails
by A Red Cat in the Doghouse
RELEASE DATE: 2010-10-19
On this release the red cat plays guitars, samples, virtual synths, virtual rhodes, virtual Hammond, works with signal programming and processing. On "Home Grown" and "Dub Grown" the vocals are by Young Neat, a singer/producer from New Jersey. We met on MySpace and shortly after started this collaboration. On "Deep Water" the vocals are by Asho, an italian actor (theatre and TV) and a friend. Due to the fact that his father is from Iran, he sang using an invented kind of Farsi (a Persian based language). There are also some phrases in Italian. On the "B-Movie Funky Star" saga I sampled and edited some recordings I made years ago of my friends from the Hot Funk Society, a powerful trio comprised of guitar, Hammond and drums. Here I play the main guitar and the main Hammond (virtual). I put "Life Under The Chemtrails" as the title because many times we don't know exactly what's happening all around (and above) us. We can choose to believe what the headlines say, otherwise we can search for a deeper truth. I believe these are dark ages and we gotta stay on the line, especially concerning our right for free information. I don't know for sure what these damned chemtrails are... yet. But I know what I see almost everyday looking at the sky, and I don't like it.

About the Artist
A DJ that defies all logic. No, not that black cat in the Bronx, but the Red Cat in the Doghouse. This cat from Rome (as in ITALY) is the love child created by a passionate 3-way love affair between hip-hop, electronica and jazz mixed up and stirred through the filter of an amazing musician (yes, this is live, not Memorex). And you will remember that some of the best live mash-ups come from around the globe. But is this hip-hop? Not anymore. The beats went berserk and cleared the dance floor. There's nothing I can really say to describe anything these days, let alone the music that is Red Cat, but I'll tell you one thing - he knows where it's at. I take two hits daily, lowered my cholesterol by 11 points. Sign up here for a fantastic 53 minute journey through sound.
