Kilkenny Cats are from Athens, Georgia. The band's 1986 debut album is now on CD for the first time. CD is remastered and expanded with 4 bonus tracks. Critics called them ""moody Southern goth,"" ""hard-driving college rock,"" & ""pop-ish hypnotic indie dance rock"" w/ ""haunting melodies and blazing guitar."" In 1985, R.E.M.'s Mike Mills cited them as ""the #1 band in Athens"" in an article in SPIN magazine. The album includes the lead-off track ""Nightfall"" which was featured in the 1987 seminal rock documentary ""Athens, Ga Inside/Out"". The band has reunited and will begin to support their catalog reissues with new regional touring.
