Kitty Soft Paw
Formed in Milwaukee in 2019, Kitty Soft Paw (KSP) is a 5-piece indie rock band that adds a creative punk-like twist to soulful originals and deep-cut covers. From mesmerizing, melodic journeys to high-energy, shout-the-chorus rockers, KSP delivers hook-laden songs with tight harmonies, locked-in rhythms, and crowd-engaging antics. The band is very intentional about making a live show go beyond just music.
Frontman Billy O’Neill owns the stage and consistently delivers a standout show that audiences will tell their friends about. People come to see live music to witness the creative process and join in the emotional journey of the band. KSP intentionally builds shows around that expectation, making a memorable evening for all involved: the fans, the club, and the band.
KSP is releasing their first full-length album, Catalyst, in the spring of 2026 and will tour the Midwest to promote it. The band embraces the network of people who love live music. They bring joy every time they perform, and they take their fun seriously.

“If The Doors and Weezer had a love child, it would be called Kitty Soft Paw.”
–Urban
Rocket Cat
Rocket Cat is a Milwaukee-based alternative rock band and six-time WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) Award nominee known for their dynamic musicianship, heartfelt songwriting, and a sound that blends pop-rock hooks with a late-80s/early-90s edge. Their latest album, Little Lights, captures the band at a creative peak—exploring themes of illumination and shadow, change and direction, and the ways our personal stories continue to evolve.
Their songs are built on rich instrumentation and expressive vocals, offering listeners both immediate groove and lyrical depth. Hooks rise, dynamics shift, and melodies take unexpected turns—creating music that feels familiar yet never predictable. On stage, Rocket Cat is celebrated for their tight chemistry, genuine camaraderie, and the unmistakable joy they bring to every performance. Creativity, connection, and the pursuit of memorable musical moments remain at the heart of everything they do.
“Rocket Cat’s sound really captivated me from the first few notes of their latest release Little Lights… Strong and unique vocals and well-written lyrics.” — Music Injection Australia
