Originally based in Brooklyn, Wildcat Apollo have come to call Austin home as of recent. Formed in 2012 and spending most of that time honing their sound and craft quietly in a Bushwick basement, the band is on the verge of having Austin claim them as one of their own. The self-titled LP has warranted much attention with it’s lush, psych-pop sensibilities strewn over vocalists; Cat Tassini and Taylor Eichenseer’s seraphic cadence. While not much is known about the group here in Austin, they are already making a name for themselves nationally by recently winning the Rock Category Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition for Session II of 2013 with the winning track “Colorado” featured below. Wildcat Apollo is also set to appear on several dates of the Warped Tour, June 13th – June 19th and here in Austin at Holy Mountain June 29th. – Michael Maly
