Kate Moths

The Milwaukee-based four piece is comprised of members of Soup Moat, Spur, Partisan, Volunteer and The Barrettes. Stylistically drawing on some of most memorable moments of 90s underground guitar rock, Kate Moths are not an easily pigeonholed act. Elements of everyone from Cap’n Jazz to Sebadoh to Julie Doiron to The Microphones can be heard in their sound, with some reference points being more obvious than others. Rather than a simple rehash, though, Kate Moths‘ creativity starts with the lineup-dual guitars, drums and cello. No bass? No bass.
