The Du cats Kit are a high energy, Alternate hard rock group emerging out of Dunedin.
With an appetite for influential styles such as Rockabily, Punk, Classic rock and Ska they are igniting crowds.
Our focus is on consistently delivering something to leave people satisfied. Although the band has an obvious love for playing intense and sweaty shows, we do have a strong believe that what is done in the studio must be able to be re-produced on stage whilst creating a new sound. This means the Du Cats Kit are no stranger to pushing their instrumental abilities and, with a raw passion, create a tight, irresistible energy.
The Du Cats Kit plan to release their 6 track EP 'Into the Alley' this year in late May, and record a full length album and tour the South Island over the Summer season.
Nick, John and Jared all previously went to High school together were they begun playing music at the always common lunch break jam sessions. Nick and John played in a band called The Danes with several other members before that slowly shed numbers and they begun looking for a new bass player/Backing vocalist. Jared was the obvious choice, with his bass talents and ability to pretty much harmonize with anything.
The band then formed under the name of 'The Carving' where they wrote songs and played a few gigs but didn't really take the music anywere.
In 2008 the band had the opportunity to perform in the 'Primal BOTB' so they changed their name to 'The Du Cats Kit' and they successfully achieved 3rd place in the finals, and this was the start of a new thing for the band
