The Ten Foot Pole Cats | Squeeze | Deep Blues Festival III

"The Ten Foot Polecats are just another badass Deep Blues band outta Massachusetts. Thank Gawd! They have just released their first ep- a fine little five track affair of covers and I'm just in love with the thing. Drawing heavy influence from the low down,hard and creepy aspects of deep blues heroes like Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside, Hound Dog Taylor, Howlin' Wolf and others Ten Foot PoleCats bring the best elements of North Mississippi, Texas, Detroit, Memphis and elsewhere and channel it thru the dirty back bays and alley ways and side street bar holes of bad'assachusetts." - Rick Saunders, "Deep Blues"

----------------------------

"I've been booking bands at the club for almost two years now, and there is definitely no other band out there that sounds like the Polecats," she said. "I could almost swear I was in some Mississippi blues barroom every time I hear them, not little old Milford, Massachusetts. They are unique for around here, with their foot-stomping, butt-shaking blues. They definitely make the music their own." - Denise Kaufman of Fat Boy Bill's in Milford Mass (our hometown joint!)

This band is the first openly gay Massachusetts blues band and in that sense they are true blues pioneers.
