Cougars

Chicago’s Cougars shaped in 2000 from remainders of local ska-ish heroes Hot Range Jimmy. Eight dudes solid, their lineup included vocalist Matt Irie, keyboardist Sam Ambrosini, and guitarists Brett Meingasner and John Mclurg; a tempo portion of Bryan Bienias (bass) and Brian Wnukowski (drums, ex-Big’n); and horn players Tag Beening (trumpet) and Jeff Vidmont (sax). An enormous sound was essential to validate a lot of mouths to prey on tour, therefore Cougars chosen a trashy, slutty stumble of Jesus Lizard sound, tickled with unwell humor and periodic melodic availability. The full-length debut Great, Nice made an appearance from Move Kart in Oct 2003; the music group released the Manhandler EP via Chicago imprint Heavy the following Might. Travels with types like Pigmy Appreciate Circus and Supersuckers implemented.
