About Shorty Cat

Formed in Seoul, South Korea in winter 2003, the four-piece are key players in South Korea's punk scene. They're one of very few all-girl punk bands, for a start, and they rock a philosophy of unity and passion that will surely nourish the scene in the years to come. And if that's not enough, they're also as cool as fridges. "We formed the band because we love punk!" says guitarist Eun Jin, better known as Pheobe. "There were no girl bands left in Korea's punk scene, so we wanted to be the first long-lasting girl band." Shorty Cat is Pheobe along with vocalist Yu Jung, bassist Na Yoen and drummer Min Chae. The band takes its inspiration from all subgenres of punk music, but especially English artists of the 1970s and '80s, such as The Sex Pistols, X-Ray Spex and Generation X, and their more modern Japanese counterparts, including Lolita No. 18.
