Cat o 'Nine - acoustic folk rock in pirate robe: Cat o 'Nine was founded in early 2016 in Gelsenkirchen/Germany by Sascha Kaeufer and Kathrin Kornas as a side project to their main bands ,PunchnJudy and the ,Silent Punch which is the acoustic version of PunchnJudy. Over time, however, Cat o' Nine became more important. Therefore, it can no longer be considered as a side project. They quickly found fellow combatants who supported their own idea of what pirate folk also can be. Meanwhile grown to a solid band, Cat o Nine consists next to Kathrin (Cat - viola) and Sascha (Captain Cooper - voice, guitar) of Sebastian Gobel. (Seb, the old whip - bass), who is a longtime member of the metal band ,Hatedotcom from Ruhr Area/Germany, and Angela Miccolis (Micci Mezzoforte - percussions) who is a member of the Wuppertal percussion ensemble 'Samba Zamba'. The songs of Cat o Nine range from ,open and , lively over ,profoundly melancholic to ,pushing hard. For the production of their debut album ,Weit hinaus" (,Far beyond") they got energetic support by PunchnJudy drummer Andreas Bargel and accordionist Ute Bogoslaw. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Christian Bargel who is also responsible for PunchnJudys ,Rum, Soda & Punch" (2016). With ,Weit hinaus" in their treasure chest Cat o Nine go on the way to head for the ports of the world. Cats classic training, the rock and folk preferences of Captain Cooper, Sebs punchy bass and the rhythmic skills of Samba drummer Micci Mezzoforte make the sound of Cat o Nine: Pirate folk that does not need shanties and traditionals, made in Gelsenkirchen.
