Greetings & welcome to the Phat Cat Swinger Myspace Page!
If you enjoy the classic sounds of Bobby Darin, Louis Prima, and Frank Sinatra mixed with the new swingin' sounds of bands such as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Royal Crown Revue, and Brian Setzer... You've made it to the right place.
Our first album, Phat Cat Swinger, was very much influenced by every generation of swing artist that we grew up listening to thanks in part to our parents. It's a very up-tempo and upbeat album that will truly lift your mood and make you smile.
We are currently working on our follow up album which is a mixture of new distinctive sounds that will soon be known as the phat sound that Phat Cat Swinger brings to this world.
While you're here, take some time to look at our photos, upcoming shows, music videos & even feel free to leave us a comment from time to time!
We love hearing from all of you & actually have a band member or two behind the screen working day & night to keep in touch with you! So send us a message and tell your friends to stop by too!
We hope you have a blast being a part of this wonderful thing called swing! It's a PHantastic to be a part of. Just ask any of our phriends who have been phollowing us around for the past six years! Thanks again for stopping by.
Let us take you back to our beginnings
as we remember it...
It was an unusually cold night in August of 2002 when founding members Marco, Matthew & Will got together & decided to bring back a sound that's been missing from the music scene.
Booming toms, walking bass lines, jumpin’ rhythms on guitar, roaring horn lines, & the smooth vocals of Tim Porter is what they found after a dedicated search to find the right musicians for this creation.
Six years in the making & growing strong, this band has been fueled by the intensity that can only be felt when the perfect combination has been made.
Currently one of the hottest live swing bands to
come out of the Southern California underground scene,
Phat Cat Swinger attacks SWING head on & makes it their own.
The release of their self titled Debut album takes you from an up tempo foot stomping jazz, to a sultry tango in the night and sends you back to a time of nostalgia & youth.
From humble beginnings in a schoolhouse to a sold out evening at the prestigious House of Blues and beyond, Phat Cat Swinger delivers the goods & makes you beg for more. Watch out for the next revival of SWING music like never before!

Hello! Phat cat swinger, by far the most awesome swing band I've seen live. I first heard of you all through a friend last year and saw you at Rusty's Rythm club; Also i was lucky enough to catch your second set in downtown Burbank this past thursday! Great job all of you!
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Yeah, I'll have to check it out. That would be awesome to learn a few tips and tricks from Matt. I'm more of a rock and heavy metal player but I'd love to learn the swing technique. I plan on checking out one of your shows one thursday over the next couple weeks in AV. Take care guys.
