Recorded in Memphis, “Outa Tha Bag!” is fast, catchy and louder than words! Heartfelt lyrics with a subversive punk sensibility, punchy hooks, and sonic shifts that bend genres will keep you guessing what’s next.
Aktion Kat formed in in 2016. Developed by artist/activist, Paul Garner in 2011 as a character featured in his subversive comics and street art, Aktion Kat is a molotov cocktail throwing black cat, wearing a red leather jacket and dark goggles. The band performs costumed as their cartoon alter-egos, with Garner as “Aktion Kat” on guitar and vocals, Matt Houston on drums and sonic gong as “Mad Kat” and Clay Ayers as “Alley Kat” on bass guitar.
“Outa Tha Bag!” is a bite size soundtrack for collective and personal struggle, balancing themes of angst and optimism, hope and despair. During these uncertain times, Aktion Kat reminds us that if we stick together, “We Will Win!”
