  • Bio

    Caterpillar are a five piece band from Melbourne, Australia. They are unique and hard to describe - a fusion of space-funk grooves, jazz, blues, latin and electronica - and most of their delicious, toe-tapping grooves are improvised and created in the moment. They have recorded two albums and play at a selection of bars and venues across Melbourne. You can see them at http://www.mangoloungebar.com.au/.
