Swing That Cat is a Sonic Cocktail of Jump Jive and Wail ~ Take Jump Blues, swizzle with Horny Swing, add a dash of Cabaret and a splash of Bourbon Street. This female-led band blends a revival of styles with a sultry rhythm, and rumble guaranteed to make you shimmy, shake, leap off your seat and dance your tail off! What more could you ask for from a band born in Philly that pounced on the local club scene and has earned their stripes at over 400 shows from NYC to DC, and on radio, podcasts, and streams around the world. Front and center is Michele Peraino, a modern-day Rita Hayworth meets Catwoman, with a vocal style drawn from another era, and a hypnotic visage of seduction, while surrounded by a bunch of crazy cats that all howl, “Yo Philly” with horns, guitar, bass and drums.
