Hot Boppin, Groovin’ 4 piece group playing Rockin, Roots Music with a Guitar, Double Bass & Stand Up Drums
Black Kat Boppers hail from down on the South Coast Water Way in Southampton and are 4 fellas who love to play hard boppin’, jump up, rockin’ blues, dance music.
“With The Black Kat Boppers you get to immerse yourselves in that rockin’ feelin’. Think of us as ‘rockin the blues’ if you must, cos that’s the way we roll!”.
Influences include Rhythm & Blues, Jump & Jive, Ska, Doo-Wop with a lucky energy. Collectively, when all brought together, Black Kat Boppers sound is raw, authentic, sincere & unique.
Black Kat Boppers formed after some chance meetings, speculative phone calls and a little bit of fate. A shared love for rockin’ roots music was clear and they haven’t looked back since. There’s been triumphant performances at Glastonbury many times, Port Eliot, Bestival & Hyde Park (with Blur & The Specials). They’ve rocked Notting Hill Carnival, Rockabilly Rave Latitude & Viva Las Vegas, not to mention performing a memorable set with Florence and The Machine at Bob Geldof’s 60th birthday party. They’ve been joined on stage by Damon Albarn as well as working with him in the studio and have regularly had Clash legend Paul Simonon playing with the band. Paul Simonon, who has been a great support to them, also appears on their debut album “Boppin Atcha” and has done the sleeve artwork.
Shaun Young
Shaun Young, lead singer of Ameripolitan award winning High Noon (the greatest modern trad rockabilly trio there ever was), plus the Texas Blue Dots, the Three Ringers, lead guitarist of surf-rock group The Thunderchiefs, drummer for the Horton Brothers, the Jive Bombers, and Marti Brom. Shaun has toured the globe and played Carnegie Hall and Conan O’Brien’s show with High Noon and rockabilly legend, Ronnie Dawson. As a Texan for a couple decades, the influence of Buddy Holly, Texas swing, and country is very apparent in his original songs and choice of covers
