Peter Cat Recording Co. at The Blue Frog, Mumbai

blueFROG launches the FROGWatch, a property that will feature the exciting or hot act of the month from anywhere in the country, that blueFROG recommends music lovers should come check out. This month we have Peter Cat Recording Co. from Delhi.

Peter Cat Recording Co. comes from New Delhi, currently consisting of four members. The sound is heavily inspired by classic Bollywood motifs, American big band, and ballroom waltz.

Their first album Sinema was released in early 2010 to wide acclaim, with their second album Wall Of Want delving more into more experimental territory. Amid the wave of critical praise, Radiohead and Nirvana producer Miti Adhikari highlighted them as an act he would love to produce.

Their live show straddles the line between performance art and musical salvation, encompassing backdrops of iconic Bollywood film sequences and musical samples, bullhorns, deftly controlled vocal histrionics, and long instrumental passages; building and collapsing around what are often two hour sets.
