We know about 1904 Nobel Prize winner the Russian physiologist Pavlov & his experiments on dogs but cats are altogether smarter & more cynical. Pavlov's Cat occupy the musical territory fast becoming recognised under the genre label "Acoustic". fRoots magazine described them as "determinedly acoustic" with "an eye on life's shadowy side". A very English sounding 3 piece playing melodic, rolling songs with emphasis on dynamics & organic sounds; lyrically cynical, occasionally dark but not without a glimmer of optimism. Darren Tansley weaves intricate piano & Hammond around James Hibbins' spartan acoustic guitar & rich vocals. The structure is glued by Nick Anderson's intelligent bass work, described variously as "booming" & "impossibly elastic". For Festivals & larger gigs the trio are joined by drummer Jason Bangers. Formed in 1999, Pavlov's Cat have appeared in Acoustic orientated venues & Folk clubs across the UK, headlining & in support to Folk luminaries Steve Ashley, Dick Gaughan, Clive Gregson , Leon Rosselson & Michael Chapman. James & Nick played together in the band Nexus, Darren is a veteran of numerous folk-rock bands including Blyth Power. Darren has recently taken to playing without his fabled hat. 2002 saw the release of their second album "Motes of Dust", an 8 track mini album on AcoustiCity Records. Recorded in short, intensive stints with percussionist Ken Holland, it preserves much of the band's live sound while adding new depth acoustically. Darren & James also run the successful AcoustiCity live club at the Headgate Theatre, Colchester. |
