Kitten Pop Group Finds Success on YouTube

After their demo was rejected by every label in New York, all kitten pop music group ‘Meow 5′ took to social media to try to find an audience. And it’s worked.

The group gained attention earlier this summer when their YouTube covers of The Cure’s “The Love Cats,” and “Cat’s in the Cradle,” by Harry Chapin were posted to Reddit’s r/CatMusic community. The tracks have together attracted over 2.5 million views.

Now the group has been invited to perform at the Life is Beautiful festival in Las Vegas this weekend – somewhat hilariously, they’ll be taking the stage immediately before Snoop Dogg.

“It’s been a whirlwind,” says the group’s manager, Anna-Marie Castro, who has been with the kittens since they were born to her cat, Twinkles, in May. “I mean, I knew they’d do well on Instagram and Pinterest, but when I found out they could sing I had no idea what to expect. Certainly not this.”

The group is working on an album of original material, set to drop at the beginning of 2016.
