San
Jose, CA Bay Area based rock group, China Cat, will be making their
public debut in a special KYA-FM concert at Keystone Palo Alto, on Mother's
Day, May 13th.
China Cat recently emerged from virtual obscurity to major public awareness through the release of their first single, "Can't Let Go" backed with "Everybody’s Mother". Atlantis Enterprises, the Los Angeles-based production company that released the record, has hailed the effort as "an unqualified success." Jack Tossman, president and executive producer of Atlantis Enterprises, stated, "...what started out as a test marketing single for a projected China Cat album, has gained more Bay Area airplay than many recent major label releases." China Cat's music has in fact already been heard on such area stations as KSJO, KEZR, KOME, KSAN, KFJC and KTIM.
"Can't Let Go" was added to KYA-FM's (in San Francisco) playlist April 25 and is currently receiving serious airplay, coupled with heavy concert promotion for the upcoming Mother's Day blow-out at the Keystone.

China Cat’s current exposure actually began via radio in 1978, when South Bay rock station KSJO and ABC Records sponsored the Tom Petty Songwriting Contest. China Cat’s entry "Everybody's Mother", written by Michael Rizzolo, was selected winner, and the song was added to the station’s playlist.
Extensive studio work has given China Cat a clean, polished approach to rock'n roll. Their music has been described as a "blending of vocals recalling the San Francisco Rock scene with the tight instrumentation of the 80's."
China Cat’s single, CAN'T LET GO / EVERYBODY'S MOTHER on Atlantis Records, is available at Tower Records, Campi Music, Cymbyline Records, and Galactia Zoo.
