Cat Party to release CD

Split Brand, the innovative board-sport lifestyle brand that takes inspiration from its skate and surf team, is proud to announce the release of Cat Party’s second full length LP “Rhapsody in Black.” The CD release party will be celebrated in mid-May with the venue to be announced closer to the date.

In addition to the CD launch party, the Orange County-based band will be available for in-store promotions at Split Brand retailers. Split Brand plans on introducing Cat Party’s new LP to the public by offering free samples of their music on Split’s official website. Limited edition Cat Party and Split Brand T-shirts will available online in May and throughout their tour in Los Angeles and Orange County.

“Rhapsody in Black,” http://www.splitusa.com/cat_party/Cat_Party-Rhapsody_In_Black.zip scheduled to release May 16 in the States will also have a vinyl album released by Sabotage records in Germany. The album, recorded entirely by Ryan Nichols (Guitar, Bass, Vocals) and Roger Fowler (Drums), doesn’t stray far from the indie sounds that Cat Party fans are already used to, according to Nichols, who is looking forward to the release of the album.

“We are very proud of this record. There are some typical Cat Party tunes on here as well as some songs that took on a new direction and approach. I hope everyone enjoys the record, we worked extremely hard on this one,” said Nichols.

The Split Brand began its sponsorship of Cat Party at the end of 2010 for the start of the brands official re-launch. As strong supporters of Indie/Punk musicians, Split felt Cat Party was an obvious choice.

“Cat Party was chosen to represent Split because of their honest raw vibe. They bring a revitalizing approach to their music and stage presence,” said Split Brand’s Marketing Director, Brian Young. “Our connection with Cat Party will introduce our brand to a new audience outside of our standard skate and surf crowd. Our hope is to get Cat Party to the next level in the band’s career so it can continue to tour and deliver new music.”
