about

CAT SCRATCH FEVER.... Being a peculiar Liverpool cult band in the mid 1990s.....Featuring Dr. Hank B. Death..... a frock coated ,Colt Navy totin' guitar player, ripping Country and Eastern apart, with his faithful pals Tox Jameson and Two-Gun Tennessee Slim Two ex members of Liverpool group 'The Lawnmower' Tony Doyle (AKA Tox Jameson) and D.A. Dolman (AKA Two-Gun Tennessee Slim) asked Paul Kappa (AKA Dr Hank B Death) in the late summer of 1992 if he would join with them in a musical appreciation of all things Sun Session. It was for a couple of gigs, and just for a kick. They played The Casablanca Club on Hope St. Liverpool and the reaction was so good they did it again and again and again, until in 1998, after more than 1800 gigs, Paul quit the band. In those six years, they appeared at Glastonbury (1997) and Cropredy (1998), incidentally Paul's last ever gig with the band. They appeared on several times on TV and were regulars with Mark Lamarr on his afternoon show on GLR, brodcast from Baker St. in London. This line up of Cat Scratch Fever broke up in 1998, after what would be most pleasantly described as 'personal differences', or, put plainly that Dolman and Kappa didn't like each other very much! The two albums and off-shoot singles and EPs recorded were 'Death Western' and 'The Big Bang!' Cat Scratch have continued to gig with new vocalist Martin Pleass. Dolman and Doyle also play as part of Sinatra tribute act "Perfectly Frank" User-contributed text is av
