Caterwaul was an American band, based in Phoenix, Arizona, featuring Betsy Martin on vocals and mandolin, Mark Schafer on guitar, Fred Cross on bass and Kevin Pinnt on the drums. Their debut album, The Nature of Things (1987) was released on Lost Arts Records. Caterwaul was interviewed in January 1988 on MTV's "120 Minutes" and the music video for "A Flower and a Stone" from their debut album was played nationally for the first time. The video, directed by David Kane-Ritsch, was notable for its use of photocopied enlargements of frames of film that were subsequently "colored-in" with what appeared to be highlighter markers and crayons. The extremely labor-intensive project (essentially a crude type of cel animation) generated significant interest among the music video production community.
