About Us
The Band
Formed in August 2022 by the remaining 4 members of Navajo Dogs, with new frontman James “Ozzy” Lovegrove. The name is a sympathetic nod to the heritage of the group, despite a change in musical style. More rock, slightly less blues.
Let Apache Cats rock your event with our professional-standard sound and lighting. We use electronic drums and guitar modellers so we can be as loud or quiet as we need to be. Because of this, we also take up a lot less space than a tradional 5-piece rock band. No massive guitar stacks or drum kits here…

James ‘Ozzy’ Lovegrove
Vocals
Inspired to sing by his Nan sitting him down and watching Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles on VHS tapes.
Music must run in his family as his uncle is singer, and his uncle’s-uncle is a singer. We don’t know if any of them are called Bob though.
Ozz’s influences include Areosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Chris Cornell, Tina Turner.
Ozz has been in and out of bands since he was 17.
Tom Evans

Tom has been playing guitar and bass professionally for over 10 years now. Besides playing in Apache Cats he is also the lead guitarist/bassist and on very rare occasions, drummer, in the popular party band Catch 22, and when he has time, likes to work on his synthwave project Endless Wires.
Tom has worked with various bands over the years, including Friday Feeling, Navajo Dogs, It’s Complicated and has recently had the pleasure of working with Brother From Another and The Zoots, as well as working with agencies such as DK Management and Ear Candy.

Bio coming soon…
Adam Sollis
Bass, Vocals
Proudly the only musician in the Sollis family tree, Adam starting playing guitar and joined his first band around 2003. Adam’s weapon of choice since 2008 however has been the bass guitar.
Adam’s earliest musical influence was Dave Grohl from The Foo Fighters but now has an incredibly varied music taste from Sinatra to Slipknot.
Phil Mayger
Guitar
Phil was inspired to pick up the guitar way back in 1994 (hard to believe he’s that old) and has been playing ever since. Musical influences include Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), Steve Lukather (Toto), and John Mayer.
A former theatre tech and sound engineer, Phil looks after all the band’s tech stuff. He’s also been in many bands over the years, and once played with the legendary Sam Moore.
