Quintron and Miss Pussycat have been making genre-defying noise and hard rocking dance music out of New Orleans for over fifteen years. On their new album, “Goblin Alert,” Quintron & Miss Pussycat have ditched the drum machine in favor of NOLA jazz-basher, Sam Yoger (Babes, AJ Davilla) on drum kit, and  Danny Clifton (Room 13, Jane Jane Pollock) on hollow body guitar. The band defines itself by its “barely controlled electronic chaos experience” and  “Swamp-Tech” beats. With the addition of traditional rock instruments, the band has created what they call a tweaked out Miami disco dipped into a Mississippi mudslide” vibe.

“Goblin Alert” is out October 16 via Goner Records. For more information or to pre-order, go here. Gonerfest 2020 kicks off this Friday, September 25! Catch Quintron & Miss Pussycat live from The Spellcaster in New Orleans on Friday at 11:30PM CST. Goner’s 17th annual festival takes over this weekend with exclusive live performances from over 20 bands from all around the world — and Memphis. Details available here.
