Cats Laughing

Cats Laughing is a now-defunct folk rock band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The group consisted of Steven Brust, Emma Bull, Bill Colsher, Lojo Russo, and Adam Stemple. Both Brust and Bull are better known as writers of fantasy and science fiction. Stemple has also written a fantasy novel, and co-authored the Rock 'n Roll Fairy Tale series with his mother, the fantasy writer and editor Jane Yolen.

The group released two albums, The Bootleg Issue (1988, also released as The First Album) and Another Way To Travel (1990). Another Way to Travel featured cover art by editor and author Terri Windling and a song co-written by science fiction and fantasy writer John M. Ford.

Bull later played in folk duo The Flash Girls, while Stemple was one of the lead singers and a guitarist for the folk celtic punk band Boiled in Lead. Russo switched from bass to mandolin to play in the Irish band Gallowglass, then began a solo career in 1993. The group occasionally reunited as late as the mid-1990s.[1]
