Fantastic Cat Song Featured In "Tulsa King"

“All-star group” (Rolling Stone) Fantastic Cat's "C'mon Armageddon" is featured in this week’s episode of the new Sylvester Stallone series Tulsa King, streaming now on Paramount+. The band also performed the freewheeling track, which kicks off their critically acclaimed debut, The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat, on CBS Saturday Morning

After earning raves with the album everywhere from American Songwriter to No Depression here in the States, the instrument-swapping four-piece is headed to Europe for headline dates this spring before returning to the US for festival performances in the summer, including the just-announced In Between Days, which finds them sharing a bill with Lord Huron, Modest Mouse, Blitzen Trapper, and more.

They said it couldn’t be done. Four different songwriters joining forces to form a single band? There was simply no precedent (outside of CSNY, The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys, The Highwaymen, Monsters of Folk, etc). And yet Fantastic Cat did it anyway, defying the odds and teaming up to record their highly unanticipated debut, The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat. Captured in the wilds of the Pocono Mountains, the album gleefully careens between genres and decades, mixing electrified 60’s folk and 70’s AM radio gold as it balances careful craftsmanship and ecstatic abandon in equal measure.

Individually, each member of Fantastic Cat boasts their own impressive resume along with a litany of critical acclaim. NPR said Anthony D’Amato “sings and writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or Josh Ritter.” No Depression dubbed Don DiLego’s latest album “a masterpiece.” Rolling Stone called Brian Dunne’s latest single a “stunner” and praised Mike Montali’s band, Hollis Brown, as “the soundtrack for a late-night drive through the American heartland.” Collectively, though, the four transcend their respective roots, emerging as an instrument-swapping, harmony-trading, tear-jerking, wise-cracking rock and roll cooperative far greater than the sum of its parts.
