CATS IN LOVE is under no grand illusion that life is going to be easy plying a route less-travelled, but the band’s guiding light has always been the music, and that’s exactly what these five musicians live(and die) for . And customary with rock music from the golden era of the genre–60s and 70s–CIL throws in smatterings of all things that have come to define classic rock music, so there’ll be equal amounts of rock, blues, pop, country, prog, funk and jazz (ok, we exaggerate =P ).The band is on the cusp of releasing its debut album, No Paws For Regret, which, if all goes to plan, will see the light of day sooner rather than later. It's been 17 years since the band began, and while in today's terms that seems a lifetime, never forget AC/DC's prophetic words-it's a long way to the top if you want to rock n' roll.
While the band’s personnel eased through a revolving door over the years, the seats that were finally filled include that of NRLOHAN(guitars, vocals), EU GENE (bass) and ASHWIN GOBINATH (drums).The band is sometimes augmented by LK WONG on keyboards . In this episode , LOHAN gives us a glimpse of Cats In Love’s brand new single titled BLACK MONDAY and their journey. For more visit www.sltwithnav.com/catsinlove
