Hailed by Rolling Stone as "the supergroup-you-need-to-know," Fantastic Cat returns this summer with their intoxicated/ing new album, Now That's What I Call Fantastic Cat, out June 7 via Missing Piece Records. On March 25th, the band released the unhinged video for addictive lead single "All My Fault" and announced an extensive summer headline/festival run kicking off June 7 at Brooklyn Made in NYC. Fantastic Cat will soon begin a month-long tour with Low Cut Connie, which includes stops at The Troubadour in Los Angeles and The Fillmore in San Francisco.

"We wrote 'All My Fault' just before our first show at the Bowery Ballroom, right around the time we realized we didn't have enough songs for our first show at the Bowery Ballroom," the band explained. "This project started as an escape from the self-seriousness inherent in our respective solo careers, and this song in particular takes the piss out of all that ego and delusion."

Featuring four different critically-acclaimed singer/songwriters who’ve appeared everywhere from NPR’s Tiny Desk and the New York Times to Newport and Bonnaroo, Fantastic Cat—lead singer Brian Dunne, lead singer Anthony D'Amato, lead singer Don DiLego, and lead singer Mike Montali—first came together in 2022 for their award-eligible debut, The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat, which Rolling Stone dubbed "a wildly satisfying collection" and "equal doses of Dylan and Springsteen." The record earned the group their national TV debut on CBS Saturday Morning, 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. The following year, the velvet-suited quartet collaborated with all-star producer Butch Walker on a 50th anniversary recording of "Band On The Run," which prompted Paul McCartney (Wings, The Beatles) to question his entire life's work.

"I'm absolutely honored to welcome Fantastic Cat to Missing Piece Records," says CEO Michael Krumper. "I think they're one of the best live bands I've seen since I started my company, with a perfect balance of highbrow songwriting and lowbrow humor. As a label owner, you dream of finding a band like this, one that'll enable you to take a massive tax deduction at the end of the year. These guys have write-off written all over them."

Where the group's debut showcased the quartet as individual songwriters, Now That's What I Call Fantastic Cat finds the band writing collectively for the first time, leaning into their respective strengths to craft an alternately poignant and absurdist portrait of a modern world populated by disgraced heroes, disenchanted dreamers, and dead end jobs. The songs here are at once hopeful and mordant, reckoning with a reality less shiny than it seemed by refusing to succumb to the weight of disappointment, and the performances are relentlessly buoyant to match, fueled by infectious hooks, lush harmonies, and unpredictable arrangements. Think CSNY if none of them were famous, or The Traveling Wilburys if none of them were famous, or the Eagles if they really didn't get along.

EVENT PREVIEWS

Lucrecia

Lucrecia Pays Homage to Former Bergen County Resident and Reigning Queen of Salsa, Celia Cruz

"Life is a carnival! It's much more beautiful to live it singing." If you're unfamiliar with my life's mantra, perhaps you’d recognize it if I were instead to say "la vida es un carnaval, es más bello vivir cantando." Now put a salsa beat under it and add the iconic voice of the Queen herself, Celia Cruz. Sound familiar? One would hope.
