Le Chat Noir

Le Chat Noir are hard-rockin' Transatlantic desperadoes Teddy Hesper and Eileen Spruce. The band formed in the winter of 2006, shortly after Spruce moved to England from her native Los Angeles.

 

Since then the duo have hit the European gigging circuit hard and never taken their foot off the accelerator, performing close to 300 gigs in 8 different countries, their full throttle live performances leaving stages soaked with sweat and blood and littered with broken drumsticks.
 

Along the way, Teddy and Eileen have shared a stage with acts such as Motorhead, UFO, Saxon, Nick Oliveri of Queens of the Stone Age, The Sonics, The Datsuns, The Gories, The Oblivians, Nine Black Alps and She Keeps Bees.
 

Le Chat Noir have recorded and released three albums through Garage Sale Records. Lyrically, the albums are a thematic trilogy of gritty tales based in a fictional setting that is part lawless Wild West, part shadowy film noir - featuring stories about femme fatales, hard liquor, murder and dark intrigue. Debut album Tales From Silver City was voted Playmusic Magazine’s Best Unsigned Recording of 2006 and quickly sold out; 2007's Deadwood is also close to being sold out, whilst a third studio album, Postcards From The Dark Highway, was released in May 2009.
