Tonight, I was given the opportunity to chat to an amazingly talented woman called Elizabeth McCullough, you may know her better by Alpha Cat, the name that she chose to be recognised by for her musical endeavours.

I literally stumbled across her music on a wonderful site called musosoup.com and thought I’d invite her to take part in an online interview that I set up recently to stop myself from going stir crazy since we had been advised to ‘stay the fuck at home’ by our government.

Elizabeth is a woman of many talents, her skills include professional photographer, composer, singer and performer, there are other feathers in her cap but I’ll leave you to discover these later.

I pored over Elizabeth’s ‘bio’ on her webpage and I will say that it made for a fascinating read, I can count the amount of people who befriend members of a cult New York band on one hand and even less who managed to get them onboard to help out to create a demo tape that was distributed around many US radio stations, resulting in more college radio interest than Beck or Metallica were receiving for their heavy hitting long players at the time.

Elizabeth recently released a single called ‘Every Day You Break My Heart’, a touching song that was written years before, about her mother who recently passed. She explained to me during our interview that “My mother was a complicated woman”, more is revealed in the interview below.

Elizabeth is a true musical chameleon, upon listening to her album ‘Thatched Roof Glass House’, I was taken aback by the sheer power of it, pigeon as ‘Dark-Wave’, I was expecting an album drenched in melancholy but what I heard was a far more uplifting experience. During the Coro”

During the Corona Virus pandemic, you can download the entire album for just 50 Cents (approx 40p if you’re in Blighty) and believe me, it is worth EVERY penny (and so much more!)

We chatted to Elizabeth from the comfort of her Hell’s Kitchen apartment in the middle of New York City where she was observing the ‘lockdown regulations’ imposed on America. I asked her how she was for time and she replied with a semi-sarcastic slant of “well, there’s not much else happening tonight” but did add that she’d be meeting up with a friend later on to walk her dog, I love that New York sass…..
