MAPLE MARS - BEAUTIFUL MESS

Released 2007 - Kool Kat Musik. Their third release is a pure pop delight and sees the band stretching out a bit musically! Rick Hromadka explains - "'The new album picks up where 'Circular Haze', our second album, leaves off. Musically, it recalls the 'beautiful' blend of our psychedelic power pop and lush acoustic orchestrations. Features a beautiful cover of 10CC's "I'm Not In Love"!

Audities Top Ten pick for 2007!

Named 2nd best album of 2008 in Shindig Magazine!

MAPLE MARS - CIRCULAR HAZE

 

Released 2004. Kool Kat is proud to present the long-awaited followup to “Welcome To Maple Mars”! The LA times described their music as “a dash of Cheap Trick, a sprinkle of ELO, some Jellyfish on the side and a big dollop of The Beatles”! Their new CD, while still embracing these influences, is a giant musical leap forward as they continue to finely hone their craft of top-notch pop (power + otherwise)! GREAT!
