Bob N' Charlie

Ka tet are a Galway(Ireland) based, three-piece rock band whose sound focuses as much on 3 part vocal harmonies as it does on crunchy guitar riffs, gripping rhythms and chunky bass undertones.
Their hard hitting music has been compared to the likes of Pearl Jam, Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures. The band encapsulates elements of all of these influences, combining them to create a unique and exciting new sound.

2013 was an unbelievable year for Ka tet, which saw them release their début album ARCADIA, and tour Ireland extensively in support of its release. The album has received fantastic reviews from some of Ireland's most respected music writers and was recently named in Chew Your Own Fat's Best of 2013 list!

Ka tet we're also featured and interviewed twice on The Mix Up with Colm O'Sullivan on Today FM following the release of their first two singles 'Let my Lady' and 'Bob n Charlie'.

2014 is shaping up to be even better, with a UK tour already under their belts, the band have been confirmed for several Irish festivals this summer including Vantastival, Kfest, Philfest and Light Colour Sound Festival. Ka tet have built up a reputation as an act that needs to be experienced live.
ARCADIA REVIEWS
____________________________________________________________________________
“This is GOD. Baby on the Brink is an international radio hit!”-Kim Fowley(ex-manager of The Runaways)
____________________________________________________________________________
“An exciting, raw debut album Arcadia works to show Ka tet musical talents and abilities in a strong introduction from the Galway natives that contains flashes of real brilliance.” -Stephen White, TheJournalist.ie
____________________________________________________________________________
“The Waiting is laced with the menace and World’s Edge with its rousing sing-a-long chorus “treat me better” is one of those tunes that will stick in the head for days on end.” -Frank Hughes, Goldenplec.com
____________________________________________________________________________
"With rock being so predictable these days, it’s nice to hear a band that is willing to be adventurous. They are able to craft songs that make you want to bang your head but also allow you to sit back and enjoy the ride. Across the entire album the sheer quality of songwriting and musicianship never lets up for one single second. Add to this, the fact that snippets Heavy Rock, 60′s pop melodies and Rock n’ Roll combine effortlessly on this album, then its unique sound and status becomes clear. ‘Arcadia’ by Kat tet really is indispensable for any discerning rock-music fan!"- Rick Jamm, Jamsphere.com

“Seamlessly shifting between heavy desert stomp and mellow passages, with the odd jazz noodle thrown in for good measure, the Ka tet lads are taking the term “radio friendly” and ripping it apart.”-Pauly K, chewyourownfat.com
____________________________________________________________________________
“Their new album, “Arcadia”, is a delightful combination of a rockabilly pounding and a more relaxed, softened out music essence. Moreover, there is a slight presence of jazz added to the mix to provide this wonderfully heavy rock offering. Ka tet are unafraid of educating Irish audiences on what real, and deliciously imperfect music sounds like. Instead of cramming a debut album with a handful of classics and multiple filler tracks, “Arcadia”, is an album that is pure gold from start to finish.”- Elaine McDonald, dublinconcerts.ie
____________________________________________________________________________
“The rhythm section powers the whole album along, mixed with some great harmonising and guitar work result in producing a strong debut effort. ‘Baby on the Brink’ is held together by a riff Mr Iommi himself would be proud of. Personal highlight is ‘Bob N’ Charlie’, an acoustic led song very different to the rest of the album but demonstrating the eclecticism of the music on offer. One band I’ll be sure to catch live at the first opportunity.”- Ross Scott, chordblossom.com
____________________________________________________________________________
"Ireland has produced a batch of incredible rock bands in many styles over the years i.e. Thin Lizzy, U2, Van Morrison, Rory Gallagher, Boomtown Rats. Ka tet, c'mon in, your pure rock is embracing both musically and lyrically. If the album "Arcadia" is an indication, it will only get even better from here on out"- Jonathan L Radio Programmer and Presenter, Lopsided World Of L

PRESS QUOTES
____________________________________________________________________________
“Ka tet produce a slightly abrasive style of math rock, using a fantastically
inconsistent rhythmic backdrop to add multiple dimensions to their sound” -AU
Magazine
____________________________________________________________________________
“If you’re a fan of Kyuss/QOTSA then Ka tet will be right up your alley. The band take their art pretty seriously too, which is a breath of fresh air in these days of every chucklehead with an M-Audio box ham-fistingly recording every note they play, and expecting some sort of pay off. The point is; keeping it old school works. Which sorta sums up Ka tet.“ -chewyourownfat.com
____________________________________________________________________________
“If ambitions stay true and continue in the direction that they are going,
then this could be a big year for them. Their sound is rock and funk and God damn, it’s good! “-Ray Wingnut’s BIG ONES, Drop-d.ie
____________________________________________________________________________
“Ka tet employ a wide variety of musical styles and subject matter in their
songs. From the haunting ballad “Bob ’n’ Charlie” which tells the story of one man’s descent into the seductive world of addiction and his subsequent battle for freedom to the quick and heavy “Worlds Edge”.- Denis Mannion Drop-d.ie
____________________________________________________________________________
“Ka tet have, through their electric live performances and quality demo
recordings, built up a solid reputation and fan base as one of the best rock / alt / experimental bands around, with grinding guitars, pulsing percussion and Tommy rocking the mic with powerful Eddie Vedder-esque stylings ...”-Limerick Entertainment Guide
____________________________________________________________________________
“Ka tet performed an incredibly tight live set. The lines “Wake up, wake up
now” still ring in my ears as many elements of their live set edged their way into my brain for the rest of the weekend.”-Ros Madigan, Goldenplec.com
____________________________________________________________________________
“Ka tet are one of the west’s hardest working bands. With their original
sound, creativity and enthusiasm, these guys are ones to watch.
“-Fergal D’Arcy, i102-104
____________________________________________________________________________
"This is an example to any band out there who wants to take the game seriously; make an album, put out some killer singles, make the effort with your videos, and gig your asses off. Music wise, the lads switch between down beat and sombre, to soaring and scuzzy, with consummate ease. Another solid tune. I reckon if you’ve got a Kyuss record in your collection, then you need Ka tet in your life." - Pauly K, chewyourownfat.com
____________________________________________________________________________
"How I let this band slip me by is questionable. They have an essence of
Josh Homme’s Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age about them, and I don’t just mean in the vocals. It’s scuzzy rock music from the west..." - 7billionpeople.net

“Their combined passion and lively energy together with Tommy’s soaring lyrics creates many surreal moments during their performance. These guys are a hard act to follow!”- The Dublin Randomness Meetup, Meetup.com

“Ka tet’s star is only just beginning to rise and there’s no telling how high
it will go.”-mayonews.ie
