The Native Cats are a duo based in Hobart, Tasmania consisting of Julian Teakle (ex-Frustrations and Bad Luck Charms) on bass and Chloe Alison Escott on vocals. Both program backing music.

The Native Cats frequently gig in Hobart and tour regularly to Melbourne. Escott's distinctive tenor and Teakle's punk credentials lend the band a musical distinctiveness that brought them to the attention of NME in March 2009 who singled them out as a band to keep an eye on.

Their debut CD 'Always On' was released on Consumer Productions in April 2009, and rereleased on vinyl in 2010 through Ride The Snake. They have also released a 7" single on White Denim.

In 2011 their second LP 'Process Praise' was released through Ride The Snake. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
