History

Kat Men formed in 2006 when drummer Slim Jim Phantom and guitarist Darrel Higham met during a jam session at the Oneida Casino, in Wisconsin. The duo subsequently embarked upon a European tour, and recorded their debut studio album, Kat Men with former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke.[1][2] The duo continued to tour until 2009 before Higham departed in order to perform with his wife Imelda May. Phantom subsequently joined a reunited Stray Cats and performed in the band The Head Cat.

In 2011, the duo reunited and recorded a new studio album, The Kat Men Cometh, in 2012 for a March 25, 2013 release. Imelda May bassist Al Gare joined the band's touring line-up in 2012, with the band scheduled to embark upon a UK tour in October 2012.[3][4]

In 2013, the band played at the Screamin' Festival.[5]
