Little Gato hopped on a borrowed piano and away she went! She held hands with Buho and Platypus who, along the way, got too busy to play pretend. Then, as Little Gato continued to tinker more songs on her laptop, she met Tigre, who showed her a darker blend of sound. Bee Bear volunteered to help and Gato was later joined by Mankey and Plankton for live performances, and more recently, by Eegol, Koala and Panda who haven't given up on her yet.

Buho, Wallaby and Mankey don't play pretend anymore. But Platypus with his Nintendo DS will be back with us soon.

Christened, Arigato, Hato! in early 2008, by the bands ex-guitarist Owel Alvero, the band began performing in March 2008 and is barely a year old.

What started out as a solo minimalist project under the name Cat in the Hat with pioneer member, Gato and had at one point, become a collective of sorts with members coming and going prior to its current five-piece-band line-up. Prior to the current band, Gato has performed with Joey Alvero and Owel Alvero (The Brotherly Lovers) who played with her for her first live sets. Arigato, Hato! has also performed with The Love Team.

Their music has often been described as honest and their genre unknown. When asked about their genre however, they reply lyrical because of the poem-like structure to their songwriting.......[Read Less]
