Artist description Schrodinger's Cat are a groovy modern-rock four-piece, writing songs with plenty of melody without sacrificing energy and dynamics. What makes them unique? Apart from the fact they come from New Zealand (allegedly one of the freshest sources of good music), they have an interesting combination of styles brought in by the four members - all are songwriters and singers with plenty of industry experience. They believe in writing good songs. Interesting songs. All sorts of songs. They vary from quirky pop-punk a-la the Pixies, to soulful atmospheric groove, to straight pop-rock and virtually anything you can imagine in-between. Fortunately they retain their own musical identity within the variety of styles, due mostly to Zed's unique vocal sound, the backing harmonies and Mark's instantly catchy guitar hooks.

Artist History Began in 1995 with Zed Brookes on guitar and vocals and Natalie McKelvey on drums. A year later Mark Tupuhi joined the band on lead guitar and backing vocals. The band wrote and performed as a three-piece for over a year until Aaron Watkinson joined late 1998 on bass, occasional keyboards and samples. This line up became a strong writing and peforming team, and the band members got on like a house on fire. Presently the band are building a strong following in the student radio network in New Zealand, and finding some success crossing over into commercial radio.
