Kilkenny Cats - Hands Down

Kilkenny Cats are from Athens, Georgia. The band's 1986 debut album is now on CD for the first time. CD is remastered and expanded with 4 bonus tracks. Critics called them moody Southern goth, hard-driving college rock, & pop-ish hypnotic indie dance rock w/ haunting melodies and blazing guitar. In 1985, R.E.M.'s Mike Mills cited them as the #1 band in Athens in an article in SPIN magazine. The album includes the lead-off track Nightfall which was featured in the 1987 seminal rock documentary Athens, Ga Inside/Out. The band has reunited and will begin to support their catalog reissues with new regional touring.
