THE Tewantin Noosa RSL is cool for cats this weekend as The Back Alley Cats prepare to strut their stuff on Saturday night from 8pm.
Playing the south bar, this Sunshine Coast band is described as having a vintage sound with a modern edge. And they must be doing something right because this three-piece is pouncing ahead in the popularity stakes.
They originally started in mid-2013 as a covers band, playing hits from legends such as Johnny Cash, Elvis, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent, The Skyhooks, Van Morrison and The Stray Cats.
But it was 2014 that proved the pivotal year for the band, switching from covers to writing and performing their own original rockabilly music which led to their first EP: Faces.
Their music style is now a mix of ’50’s rock ‘n’ roll, rockabilly and swing.
Get along to see Job Cran, Dale Berends, and Alex Swinton, better known as The Back Alley Cats in perfect purring action.
