If you could say one thing about Purr Gato, it's that they certainly aren't into half measures. Performing absurd, space-age get-ups and brightly colored wigs, Purr Gato embrace the spectacle of performance. Lead singer Kitty K rocks a honest-to-goodness keytar, if that gives you a good idea of what to expect. Combining cartoonish new wave with trip-hop and four-on-the-floor electronica, Purr Gato make music that seems tailor made to be blared at drugged out music festivals. If one could feel nostalgic for the early part of this millennium, there is nostalgia to be found in Purr Gato's revival of the garish style of electro-clash. This is all about attitude and presentation - the kind of band that might find it necessary to have superfluous dancers join them onstage.
