Vicky Lovecat have a unique, fresh sound built upon the pedestals of old-school alternative rock, comparable to the likes of PJ Harvey and Nirvana with a splash of Joni Mitchell and Patty Smith. Be deeply moved by a powerful female voice, delivering personal tales of bitter-sweet symphonies with utter conviction, and let this 3 piece band take you to the heart of their playful seduction. They’re hungry, ambitious, determined, intent on world domination and can’t wait to rock your town!
