They may only have one four song EP, but LA based Wildcat! Wildcat! delivered a solid set Thursday night at Popscene.

The self described Indie Deep/Sexy Pop band didn't hesitate projecting an unpretentious air, an air that can be somewhat abundant with some indie acts. "We admit we're not that cool ... Hello San Francisco, we're honored to be here" the keyboardist chuckled as club attendees day-dreamingly gazed at the stage while the band set up.

The comfortable capacity at Popscene Thursday night was the right atmosphere for Wildcat! Wildcat!'s vibrant yet laid-back sentiment.
With undeniable, underlying indie roots and a new-wave/shoe-gaze undertone, people were able to fully enjoy the show experience and move about when they were so inclined.
The pitch perfect harmonies of these 3 guys seamlessly bond them to their elctro-aquatic/dreamy/dancey/indie cohesive sound.
And that's exactly how Wildcat!Wildcat! want to be heard and seen.
As one.

Jesse Taylor, Michael Wilson and Jesse Carmichael's individual personalities were apparent during the performance: the drummer exuding confidence, the bassist a bit reserved and the animated, extrovert keyboardist but I couldn't tell you who's who, because they don't really publicize that.
Wildcat! Wildcat's image, as a whole is that they are one cohesive unit and they mean it. Their layered harmonic music reflects it, they represent it and I respect that.

Starting the show with a sparkly duo of mellifluous falsettos, flashes of bright light illuminated the band as every song throughout the show found all of them singing together at some point.
Fittingly enough, the pop qualities of the "enjoy life in your prime" anthem, "Garden Grays" induced sporadic dancing, while he rest of the set, which included EP tracks: "The Chief", "Mr. Quiche" and "Please & Thank You", left the crowd cozily captivated. Neither wanting nor needing to do more to enjoy the show because it was enough to just take it all in.

Even though show goers carried on conversations as Wildcat! Wildcat! amazed with their unique style and grace, their applause consumed the room at the end of each song. Fan's projection of appreciation created a connection as the band continuously warmed up to their SF fans at Popscene.
