After Hatebeak unleashed the pure thrash-metal power of a band fronted by Waldo the Parrot, and Caninus gave us some Alpotastic pitbull grind to chew on, it seemed well about time a feline front took the mic. Enter Frick the Cat and friends, owned by Jersey City natives Mark Dagley and Lori Bortz, also known as the proprietors of the Abaton Book Company. Abaton's put out some recordings of Jersey chanteuse Marianne Nowottny, the Girls (a Boston avant-punk band Mark played guitar in back in the day), and now abandon the human race for their roster completely on this 7" single featuring Frick on the A-side (accompanied by Dagley on some introspective flamenco-style guitar). This full-on rocker "Frick It" (MP3) on the flip is credited to Fuzzy Wuz-She, a "group" comprised of Frick and house-cat-mates Hissy and Bony.

Finally, music that me and the kats can enjoy together. They were thumbs down on JingleCats though I liked it, but this time they were grooving on "Frick It". "It's about time," Tindi Govindi said "that we get to be heard." Winston Kopinsky thought it was way cool. Woobie KaBoobie has been singing his heart out ever since. Tucci Capucci danced.
But the one who now really wants to be a singer/songwriter/performer is Tylo th'BoobinBoy. We all thank you for the inspiration.
