Artist Biography
Available in:
The Cats were a rock band from the Dutch fisherman’s town of Volendam that existed from 1966 and 1985. Alongside fellow Volendammers, BZN, The Cats may be regarded as the most important band in the so-called Palingsound (‘Eel Sound’) genre, as the music of Volendam is often referred to.

Initially founded as The Blue Cats, The Cats had five Dutch #1 singles, one platinum and thirteen gold albums in their home country and were particularly succesful in Germany also.

The band consisted of singers and guitarists, Cees Veerman (born 6-10-1943) and Piet Veerman (born 1-3-1943). Jaap Schilder (born 9-1-1943) played guitar and piano, bass player was Arnold Mühren (born 28-1-1944), drummer was Theo Klouwer (born 30-6-1947, died 8-2-2001).

Piet Veerman left the band in the 1980s and had a major Dutch (and German) solo hit with the song Sailing Home.

The band briefly re-united in 2006 to record a single.
