Catfish singer Van McCann is not a man unduly burdened with doubts about his immediate future, and with good reason. His band鈥檚 successes have all come from winning hearts in every audience they鈥檝e played to - including those standing stunned in front of the 大象传媒 Introducing stage at last year鈥檚 Radio 1 Big Weekend in Glasgow, which also lead to them winning the 大象传媒 Introducing trophy at the first ever 大象传媒 Music Awards - and they really like to play.
Not that it鈥檚 all about the gigs. Each Catfish single - all gifted with a one-word title, to make their set-lists nice and neat - has been greeted like an old friend by Zane Lowe and his Hottest Record in the World, and then playlisted across Radio 1. And if you鈥檝e not heard their Kasabian-inflected Live Lounge cover of Kanye West鈥檚 Black Skinhead, now is the time to rectify that situation.
