Bau Cat

Bau Cat are a three-piece from the seaside town of Prestatyn in North Wales, blending golden-era Laurel Canyon pop with surf-jangle sparkle, New Wave cool, garage grit, and psych-soaked harmonies. Drawing from ’70s cosmic country and shot through with DIY indie energy, their sound is bold, genre-blurring, and thrillingly new.

Abby Butler (lead vocals & bass), Jim Davies (guitar & vocals), and Jack Wells (drums & vocals) create music that’s as emotionally rich as it is sonically adventurous.

Think the lush vocal stacks of Crosby, Stills & Nash clashing with the raw urgency of the pre-fame Beatles in Hamburg — not the icons, but the hungry young band grinding through smoke-filled clubs, learning survival through sound. Add in the technicolor swirl of Love, and you’re close to the sonic heart of Bau Cat.

They’ve already built a name for themselves with headline tours, standout sets at Green Man, and headlining the Toad Hall Stage at Glastonbury. Their infectious live energy and evolving sound have earned support from BBC Introducing and BBC 6 Music.

With new releases on the way, Bau Cat are stepping into their moment.
