Music for long drives in the desert when your mind opens up... ?makes me think of flying dreams, air conditioning and convertible Porsches. That is to say it transports me someplace cool. Day dreamy and breezy without being vacuous, it leaves space to reflect and breathe, giving the music at times a meditative groove. Torchy, lush vocals and lingering melodies sparkle like the California coast on a perfect day; a landscape the musicians are obviously familiar with.

Hailing from Maheeland, a mystical portal to other dimensions located deep in the Ojai Valley, the Maheekats are Casey Camp and Clarabell (an accomplished poet)? - Excerpt from a review by Michel Cicero.
We have been together since 1999, formed by drummer, guitarist and bassist Casey Camp and singer, songwriter Clarabell. Casey writes most of the music while Clarabell writes most of the lyrics and melodies. Our first drummer was Randall Marsh who is now playing with Mudcrutch. We've created a home studio where we write, produce, engineer, arrange and record all of our music. We were able to produce, record and release "God Has A Cadillac Too", where Casey played most of the instruments including drums, bass, rhythm and lead guitar, keyboards and vocals. Clarabell plays rhythm guitar and sings on the album. Another project was "Circle" (available by request only!) that featured Brad Buley on drums on most of the tracks. We have recently upgraded our studio and are looking forward to cutting some new tracks of some great new tunes and releasing another CD. We currently do not have a drummer, so we are working hard on our songwriting and recording skills. If you like our music, please tell us and we'll send you some stickers -for free- to post around your town, also we'll send you free mp3s of our new releases!!! Thanks for the support! We appreciate all of our fans. - The Maheekats
