| HI EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO OUR OFFICIAL SITE (hey it's free). WE ARE 5 GUYS WITH DAY JOBS AND FAMILY JUST LIKE YOU. WE LOVE OUR KIDS AND FRIENDS.... JUST LIKE YOU. WE WORK 40+ HOURS A WEEK AT OUR UNDER PAID DAY JOBS....JUST LIKE YOU. YOUR HERE BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN OUR SHOW, BOUGHT OUR ALBUM OR BY ACCIDENT. ANYWAYS, WELCOME. THIS BAND THAT STANDS BEFORE YOU NOW "THE CATZ IN THE HATZ" BECAME A JAZZ BAND AFTER SOME 20 YEARS OF PLAYING CLASSIC ROCK IN CLUBS. SOME OF US EVEN PLAYED IN THE SAME BAND FOR AT LEAST THE PAST 17 PLAYING IN CLUBS. BIG BEAR LAKE CA. IS A SMALL PLACE WAY UP IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND IT WASN'T TOO //LONG AGO THAT THERE WERE MORE "LOCAL " BANDS THAN EVER PLAYING THE SAME SONGS AS US (copycats if you will...no pun intended but that is funny). ANYWAYS, OUR GUITARIST FROM OUR PREVIOUS BAND "SLICK CITY"/ CLASSIC ROCK, ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR JAZZ. OUR DRUMMER (steve johnson who now only sings in this band), WERE READY TO CALL IT QUITS FOR MUSIC WHEN STEVE GOT A CALL FROM A NEW BAR OWNER ASKING IF WE PLAYED JAZZ. STEVE SAID YES. but only one of us did. I HAD NO CLUE HOW TO PLAY JAZZ BUT AFTER 1 WEEK OF OF LEARNING JAZZ SONGS, WE MADE OUR DEBUT AS THE MIKE WIENS JAZZ TRIO. WE WERE NOT VERY GOOD AT FIRST EXCEPT MIKE BUT AFTER A FEW MONTHS, WE GOT BETTER HIRED AN OLD FRIEND TO PLAY DRUMS (steve boggio) AND MOVED JOHNSON OUT FRONT TO SING AND MET A KEYBOARD PLAYER NAMED MIKE CROSS. WE WERE A HIT WITH THIS COMBO AND STARTED GROWING A FAN BASE. WE RECORDED A CD TITLED "TAKE ONE" (2005) THE CATZ IN THE HATZ: Take One AND SOLD OVER 1,000 IN 1 YEAR. MONTHS LATER , WE RECORDED " TAKE TWO" (2006).THE CATZ IN THE HATZ: Take TwoAND SOLD ANOTHER 900 OF THOSE AND OUR LAST RELEASE "RESILIENCE" (2007), IS AVAILABLE AT http://www.amazon.com. AND MY GUESS IS THAT WE HAVE SOLD ALMOST 500 OF THOSE ONLINE AND AT THE GIGS. THINGS ARE LOOKING UP AND ITS STILL FUNNY THAT THIS CLUB ROCK BAND FOUND THAT PLAYING JAZZ MADE US MORE POPULAR AND PRODUCTIVE AND MADE US INTO BETTER PLAYERS THAN AS WE WERE AS A ROCK BAND.......THEN THINGS STARTED TO REALLY GET WEIRD BUT LATER ON THAT. WE WOULD LIKE TO OFFER YOU THESE ALBUMS FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT. JAZZ PREFORMED BY WORKING CLASS DUDES AND FORMER ROCK AND ROLLERS SO ALL YOU BABY BOOMERS STOP HOLDING YOU BREATH AS WE BRING YOU THE BEST MUSIC WE HAVE TO OFFER. TERRY,STEVE,MIKE AND STEVE-- |
