The SAIL CATS

Bio (provided by Craig Keeney):

The Sail Cats started up in the fall of 1994. Drummer Kevin Keeney and his bass-playing brother, Craig, were interested in playing music that didn't sound like Nirvana or Pearl Jam, so they joined up with singer, rhythm guitarist, and longtime friend and musical mentor Chas Haynes and lead guitarist Warren Thomas. Chas and Warren were gifted songwriters and wrote many more songs than are represented on the band's demo (recorded at the Jam Room in 1995). The Sail Cats played between 30 and 40 shows before calling it quits in late 1996. Warren played for a while in a band called Brass Candle. Kevin and Craig went on start up Martian Death Lyric and, more recently, Modalcoda.
