Black Kat Boppers hail from down on the South Coast Water Way in 
Southampton and are 4 fellas who love to play hard boppin', jump up, 
rockin' blues, dance music. 

"With Black Kat Boppers you get to immerse yourselves in that rockin' 
feelin'.  Think of us as 'rockin the blues' if you must, cos that's the way we 
roll!" - Roy Phillips (Lead Singer) 

Inﬂuences include Rhythm & Blues, Jump & Jive, Ska, Doo Wop.  
Collectively, when all brought together, Black Kat Boppers sound is 
authentic, sincere & unique.  

Black Kat Boppers formed In Dec 2009 after some chance meetings, 
speculative phone calls and a little bit of fate.  A shared love for rockin’ roots music was clear and they 
haven't looked back since.  There’s been triumphant performances at Glastonbury, Port Eliot, Bestival & 
Hyde Park (with Blur & The Specials).  They’ve rocked Notting Hill Carnival, Rockabilly Rave & Latitude, not 
to mention performing a memorable set with Florence and The Machine at Bob Geldof's 60th birthday party.  
They’ve been joined on stage by Damon Albarn as well as working with him in the studio and have regularly 
had Clash legend Paul Simonon playing with the band.  Paul Simonon, who has been a great support to 
them, also appears on their debut album "Boppin Atcha" and has done the sleeve artwork.  The album is 
released on Foot Tapping records in November 2013.  

Quotes: 
Gaz Mayall declared "I’ve seen hundreds of rock n roll bands and Black Kat Boppers are right at the very 
top!!".  
"When I ﬁrst saw Black Kat Boppers I was sat on a hill at a festival and could hear this music in a tent that 
literally grabbed me by the lapels and dragged me in" - Paul Simonon (The Clash/Gorillaz) 

"Wow those boys can really play" - Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz) 

"Really rebel rousing music" - Bono
