The Flaming Mudcats
The Flaming Mudcats are a new Auckland-based rootsy blues band.
This four piece band swings, playing those great grooves along with burning harp and smoking guitar lines.
Influenced by the likes of Little Walter, Johnny Guitar Watson, Magic Sam and Kim Wilson, the boys have compiled an exciting set list.
Out of a rehearsal in 2009, a gathering of four players with a common drive to play this brand of blues, resulted in the formation of The Flaming Mudcats.
So here we are….come and see us…hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
The Flaming Mudcats are available for festivals, pub gigs, corporate events and private parties.
