Cougars (band)

Cougars is a Chicago-based rock band formed in 2000.

Not to be confused with Cougar (band).

The band signed to the New York-based label Go-Kart Records in 2003 and has embarked on several extensive US and European tours.

Cougars' music is often compared to that of The Jesus Lizard and Rocket from the Crypt. The band avoids categorizing themselves in interviews; they've claimed to be simply "a rock band with horns" and "a rock band making rock music."

In 2007, the band parted ways with saxophonist Jeff Vidmont and trumpet player Mark Beening. In 2008, it parted ways with keyboardist Sam Ambrosini.

As of 2012, the band continues to write material for its much anticipated third studio album, Gentleman's Choice.

gollark: The !!FUN!! AQA assembly language?
gollark: Not ALL webdevs are evil. I optimize my things for low resource use and make them run in-browser properly instead of Electron.
gollark: **The most gollarious response:**- pretending things- pretending there's some horrible name for it- implying it's badness- If they're profitable, you'll get some shit from people on the internet- blahblatantly passing it away- no sense.
gollark: I'm not sure what happens with that.
