Shane-Michael Vidaurri

THE CAT MAN IS SAD by Shane-Michael Vidaurri is the product of the world renowned comic book artist Shane-Michael Vidaurri with the added lush orchestrations of his former bandmates (The Ashes) Alec and Thomas Hanslowe. Shane was also happy to include Vic Ruggiero into the fold, the organ player of The Slackers and Rancid.

This newest record is a masterpiece of Lo-Fi Indie, with songs like "Strange To Be  A Stranger With You" which almost seems like it could be a George Harrison cover. This new record is a gigantic step forward for Vidaurri musically as it shows a more delicate side than his previous work with The Ashes. This album is destined to be an indie classic that is timeless. Like all of Vidaurri's previous albums it feels like it borrows influence from so many great things from the last 40 years. VIdaurri who took a break from music to put out his critically acclaimed comic "Iron: or The War After" has returned to music with a renewed passion that is evident in every track.
