The Blue Cougars

Hi there, thanks for checking out our site. if you have listened to some of our tracks you will have obviously discovered that musically we are not exactly what our image may be projecting, yes we are heavily influenced by the fifties and sixties and of course Rockabilly however this is not what we are about. I have in the past been in a couple of “true” Rockabilly bands but my heart has always been in writing and producing “new” material, I always wanted to write something that was just that little bit different and would make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Oh and of course “new and original”…

When I was young I would listen to my dad’s old 45’s, “be bop a lula” by Gene Vincent, “Listen to me” Buddy Holly, in fact a whole host of fabulous stars from the 50’s and 60’s. The songs that always stuck in my mind were those with strong catchy melodies and haunting atmospheric vocals, now I try to write in the same vain as these guys in the hope that the style may be shared with a newer younger generation of eager ears.

Although my own efforts can in no way be compared with those of whome I consider to be musical legends, I hope I can at least “get away with it” and provide folk with just a small amount of entertainment and also bring something new to the musuc [ even though it may be at my own expense Lol ].

Anyway please feel free to make your own comments on this site and hopefully our tracks won’t offend your ears too much.
