Description
Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the supergroup you need to know,” Fantastic Cat emerged to
broad critical acclaim with the release of their irreverent debut, The Very Best of Fantastic
Cat, which earned the instrument-swapping, vocal-trading four-piece their first national TV
appearance, sold out headline dates around the US and Europe, a performance at the
Sundance Film Festival, and a song in the Paramount+ series Tulsa King. Two years later, they
followed it up with the similarly lauded Now That’s What I Call Fantastic Cat, which featured
an appearance from Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz, landed the band dates with
Dawes and Lucius, and prompted WFUV to declare them “one of the best Americana and rock
bands to tumble out of New York over the last few years.”
Now, Fantastic Cat has defied the odds—and their therapists’ strong recommendations—to
return with their third and finest album yet, Cat Out Of Hell. Produced by the band and
mixed by D. James Goodwin (Goose, Kevin Morby, The Hold Steady), the collection elevates
Fantastic Cat’s trademark blend of craftsmanship and chaos to new sonic heights, capturing
the freewheeling, lightning in a bottle energy of their must-see live show and channeling it
into a ramshackle house party full of existential searchers, desperate romantics, and barstool
philosophers.
Individually, each member of Fantastic Cat boasts their own impressive resume including
appearances everywhere from the New York Times and the Tiny Desk to Bonnaroo and
Cayamo. NPR said Anthony D’Amato “sings and writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or
Josh Ritter.” Pitchfork called Brian Dunne’s new album “wise and poetic,” declaring that
“every song sounds like his life depends on it.” Paste proclaimed Don DiLego's latest record a
"stunner,” and Rolling Stone praised Mike Montali’s band, Hollis Brown, as “the soundtrack for
a late-night drive through the American heartland."
Together, they form a four-headed songwriting hydra, one with the lush harmonies of CSNY,
the playful wit of The Traveling Wilburys, and the relentless interpersonal strife of the Eagles.
Presented by The 8x10.
This is an 18+ event.
