Catapilla

What do you guys think of this interesting group?   Also.... can anyone possibly get me anymore info on this group? For example, did they tour in the US? Where are the members today (in particular drummer Malcom Frith), anything. I'm aware of the Spanish Catapilla fansite, but I can't find info anywhere else.

The second album is superb

Both albums are GREAT!!!!

I was in this very small record store a year and a bit ago and the owner whom I konw tells me, try this it's good stuff and hands me two albums, one with this weird drawing of an eaten apple and the other of a some sort of lettuce leaf with a caterpillar eating it. So I put the first one (s/t) in the store's listening stand and drift away with the music and find out that I am enjoying this remendously. Problem was I already had 6-7 other albus I picked up and all were albums I had looked for a long itme already. So I decided to give one up (Sleepytime Gorrila Museum's first album) and take that s/t Catapilla (I got that SGM eventually) and did not regret that decision (as did my wife). However I never did manage to go back and get that second album... I hope to buy that cd one say.

Good for an ocassional spin but they're not a band I could listen to obsessively. That said, they had a unique sound that's well worth getting into. Also, I think the debut's superior too. So yeah...
