Catl & The Kewpie Dolls with DJ Hideki 

The Dakota Tavern (249 Ossington at Dundas)

$15 advance, $20 door. 

Get ready for an intimate night of stripped down, juke-joint blues and rock n roll with Toronto’s top blues rockin' duo Catl, who will make sure you drink and sweat 'til you can’t drink and sweat no more! Catl are briefly back in town after a successful trip down to Mississippi. This will likely be Catl's only Toronto show before heading off to Europe for a tour through the month of June – so you won't want to miss it! Opening for Catl will be Toronto’s newest all-female garage whumpers, The Kewpie Dolls. 

DJ Hideki will be spinning rockin' 45s all night long. Tickets are going fast so grab some while you can right here. Check out some recent clips of Catl down in Mississippi along with an early show by the Kewpie Dolls. 

Catl went to the Hammer and all we got was this bloody video

Hogtown hotshots catl had to travel all the way to Hamilton to find the right kinda vibe to shoot a video for their enjoyably confrontational jam F.U. Blues. Watch as catl singer/drummer Sarah K. encounters unsolicited advances from various creeps then turns the tables with blood-spattering results. Pretty much a typical day on the road.

Directed, produced and edited by 5th Monkey Productions – a Hamilton-based operation consisting of Ian Steinberg, Khalm H'erbin, and Cole Sutton-Greenhalgh – the video was shot entirely on location in the Hammer with a starring role played by the city's venerable live music hangout This Ain’t Hollywood where catl is holding a video release party tonight (Friday January 9) joined by Noble Savages and The Squids. Along with Sarah's real-life sidekick, catl singer/guitarist Jamie Fleming, the video's cast includes such Steeltown music celebs as Snowheel Slim (Ginger St. James) and Jim Fitzgerald (Frankie and Jimmy).

This is catl.’s second video from their latest album This Shakin’ House, recorded with Adam Hill (Ranconteurs, Jack White) and released back in May 2014. Catl's video release victory lap continues with shows at DSTRCT in Guelph on January 10, Jane Bond in Waterloo on January 24 and eventually The Horseshoe in Toronto on January 31. Here's the clip.
