Cat Daiquiri: Kill The Password

Chicago indie trio Cat Daiquiri are back with a new EP filled with left field indie rock songs. On Kill The Password they tell stories about tattooed ladies, the numbing effects of sugar and dropping the tools that were essential for building a house. The best bits happen during the slow Please Don't Save Us. Starting as a friendly vocals duel the song builds up to shared crescendo of distorted guitar, bass and drums.

With this release Sarah Sterling (Videotape, Astrobrite, In Miniature, Nervous Cloud), Steve Rajewski (Canada, Little Midnight) and Graham Bauerle (Carbon Dioxide) have evolved into a proper band and not just an side project outlet. Recommended if you like Ryan Adams, Pavement and The Replacements.

Cat Daiquiri: Cat Daiquiri EP

Chicago indie trio Cat Daiquiri named themselves after a drink in a tiki bar, where the members discussed their ideas to start a new band. They had been in various bands over the years and were looking for a new outlet.

Sarah Sterling (Videotape, Astrobrite, In Miniature, Nervous Cloud), Steve Rajewski (Canada, Little Midnight) and Graham Bauerle (Carbon Dioxide) share a love for Nineties melodic college rock - think Big Star meeting The Replacements. Their self-tiled EP is filled with three gentle songs that are actually quite tough, like a sweet drink spiked with lots of booze.
