Deep in the Andromeda Galaxy, there once was a colony of feline spacepeople known as the Wildcat Apollo. One day on a routine exploratory mission, four of these alien beings lost control of their vessel and careened into space. They floated through the void for five thousand years with only their musical instruments to keep them company. Finally, the wayward spacecraft crash-landed on Earth and the band Wildcat Apollo was born.

Wildcat Apollo, formed in Brooklyn in 2012 and now based in Austin, TX, delves into psychedelic rock, electronic, shoegaze, dance and pop music to create their eclectic and infectious sound. Members Cat Tassini (vocals, keyboards), Taylor Eichenseer (vocals, guitar), Aaron Eichenseer (bass), and Alex Margolin (drums) pull from a wide range of artistic influences, exploring and creating music in a truly collaborative group environment. They recorded their self-titled debut album at The Bubble in 2013. It features distorted guitars, triumphant vocals, airy synths, and pounding rhythms. The band has already tasted success: they were awarded the John Lennon Songwriting Contest’s 2013 Grand Prize for the Rock category, were invited on the Vans Warped Tour 2014, and were featured in Austin Monthly’s 10 Bands to Watch 2015 and on KUTX’s Austin Music Minute. Wildcat Apollo is thrilled to be releasing their sophomore album Melt into the Ocean in February of 2016, featuring the just released singles "Kaleidoscopic" and "Red Roses."

Wildcat Apollo: “The feeling of complete unadulterated joy and happiness from sound.”
