FATLP181Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Fat Cat Records
Release Date: 11th July
Psychedelic 60s disco rock that sounds like the fictional band that play at the hippies party in a B-Movie.
Nottingham-based Midnight Rodeo are a collective of five close friends who met on the
city’s live circuit. Signing with FatCat Records in 2022, they’ve released four singles to date, and now have their debut album, “Chaos Era”, ready to go.
Extensive, relentless touring (sold-out hometown shows,The Great Escape, Dot To Dot,
and Kendall Calling) created a tight-knit family, their pleasure in playing as an ensemble is instantly evident on the album. When asked about this they’ll explain, “We want people to tap into why we are always smiling on stage.”
The songs are collaborative efforts. Their different musical backgrounds result in a genre criss-crossing and totally unique creative collisions. Bassist Harry says, “What we do is Dada-istic. The drums play hooks, the bass plays parts usually taken by brass, the guitar’s playing West Coast psyche over disco rhythms.”
