Quintron & Miss Pussycat, Flight Mode USA


There is no other current musical act in the same conceptual realm as New Orleans’ Quintron and Miss Pussycat, who return to Athens to give local folks another close look at their high-minded, low-fidelity operation. Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Quintron is a one-man garage band, his patented Drum Buddy beat machine providing a sleazy rhythmic backbone for his twisted, thrilling tunes. Puppet-master Miss Pussycat, by now a Crescent City legend, will tell accompanying tales with the help of various inanimate companions. Local synth-pop outfit Flight Mode USA opens Monday’s show.
