Bonnie & the groove Cats

Biography

The wild 50s brought optimism, skinny jeans, hot guys and sexy girls and – Rock and Roll. This new way of life swept into Switzerland into the furthest valleys and gave everyone a good kick up the backside.
So, we image our 4 friends, driven by the same restlessness and the same burning desire for redemption. What serendipity that they should encounter each other on top of a skyscraper united the through same intention.
But I am getting ahead of myself, so let me tell you firstly how we all arrived at this. The lascivious Bonnie at this time tried to support herself by dabbling in the art of fortune telling. Tarots cards were her favorites in her mysterious “office of the future”. Buster Kay in the meantime wandered from the rural Entlebuch throughout the land and worked as minstrel or sawmill worker respectively. Jessy Jay and Sticky Woods tried their luck as track workers and occasional pianist in various seedy jazz joints. One of the highlights being the co-owner of a betting office
So it was the spring of 56 – Johnny Burnett just released his track “Train kept a rolling” when Bonnie, Buster, Jessy and Sticky Woods independently decided to take the next step from this realm to the next.
So, it was on a rainy evening when Bonnie went up the stairs to the top of the tallest building and whilst contemplating her state of affairs, opening the doors to find a man already standing on the ledge and she found herself yelling in surprise to him to stop this immediately.
They got talking and Buster was still busy pouring his heart out when the door opened again and behold there were Jessy Jay and Sticky Woods. The later two were also driven by the same morbid thoughts and had just met in the elevator on the way up. At this point one of them remarked was rather a gloomy place for a first date ! Thus the quartet had made first contact.
It was quickly discovered that they all shared the love of rock and roll and to cut a long story short the endearment of the music won them all over.
So instead of a tower dive there was a magnificent musical lift off.
