CATBEAR infuses the retro synths of the 80s with the riot grrrl attitude of the 90s. Born out of the London grrrl movement in the mid 2010s CATBEAR gives us indie synth pop classics and androgynous anthems that leave you feeling pumped up and empowered. Self-produced and recorded in the depths of their home studio, CATBEAR has a proud, independent soul. Zoe Konez (lead guitar, vocals) and Sarah Smith (drums, vocals) have grown and developed CATBEAR from its teenage identity as Cat Bear Tree and evolved it to become the empowered voice for two friends to make self-assured, fierce music through.
Their playlist for tonight is a feast of great indie music - mostly by female artists or female fronted bands. Two hours of creative and innovative music from the likes of The Japanese House, Shura, MUNA and Say Lou Lou.
