Waiting for Kate

Waiting for Kate weren't born, rather they emerged in 2009, kicking and screaming, from the remnants of Cheltenham's finest Ska band, SKANKt. Adding a big beat, funky, alternative edge to their ska backbone, Waiting For Kate have since been dubbed 'The party band' by Venue Magazine. 2010 saw the release of WFK's debut EP 'The Loose Goose', a mini album of class, pulling together a sound as eclectic as, imagine this if you can, a Talking Heads track covered by Groove Armada and performed by Manu Chao! With over a decade of experience, honed from touring the UK with the likes of The Selector, Bad Manners, Capdown and King Prawn, these guys are a formidable live act and one that you certainly don't want to miss! 'If you get a chance to see this band- do it, they're amazing!' - Cleverhead.
