From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Black Cat #13 was a band from Ontario, Canada. Their style of music was a blend of electro, hardcore, and rock music. The band were around from 1998 to 2000, and played a total of 47 shows. The band is mostly remembered because it included Jesse F. Keeler, a member of the successful dance rock group Death from Above 1979.

Many Death from Above fans are unaware of this project, and it is very hard to find the songs. They are often shared, or ripped from their MySpace page. The I Blast Off 7" release is still available at the website of the band's former label, Three One G.

Unfortunately, there have been no plans for this band to ever reform, but they are still enjoyed by fans of Keeler's projects, as seen on sites like Last.fm.

On the band's site, blackcat13.cjb.net, the band had a long break between posts from June 1, 2000 to October 25, 2000. In the post for the latter date, the band says "TO ALL THE KIDS ASKING IF WE HAVE BROKEN UP, HMM.... XOX BC#13".

The next post stated that they had broken up for sure, and that they would still be finishing a split with The Vivian Girls. The post also stated that band members Jesse and Robin had been finishing up the first EP from their new project, Femme Fatale.

After two years without updates from the site, in February of 2002, the site was updated with links to the websites of all the former band member's new projects. These projects were Femme Fatale, and The Sick Lipstick, started by Lindsay Gillard and Mark McLean (singer and keyboardist, respectively). The site has not been updated since.

Upon disbanding of The Sick Lipstick, Lindsay went on to join "Fox the Boombox," while Mark joined "Marlax."
