The Family Cat was a British independent band founded in London in 1989.
Three members were originally from Cornwall, one from Plymouth and one from
Southampton.
The band played live for 5 years and recorded 3 albums, the mini-album
"Tell 'em We're Surfin'", released on South London independent label Bad
Girl Records, and its full-length follow-ups, "Furthest From The Sun" and
"Magic Happens", released by Dedicated Records. The band never quite
capitalised on the momentum generated by the success of debut single "Tom
Verlaine", although the band's final LP, "Magic Happens" entered the lower
reaches of the album chart and "Airplane Gardens",about the same for a week
on the UK Top 50 Singles. Mainly the Family Cat would place many singles on
the Indie chart including their finest moment in "Steamroller", a slow
burning 8 minute blast of rock'n'roll which would not have sounded out of
place on Abbey Road and was melodically a slowed down rewrite of When the
Sai
