Jay Funk Dawg Posted April 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Although I love Jazz and I know that the trio is awesome, and I think they've even won a Grammy for a previous live concert that they released from Massey Hall. BUT!! I'm dying to see the spacey funky Herbie... He seems to be back on a jazz kick of late... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 The Fat Cats http://www.fat-cats.com Fat Cats w/ guests Mr. Something Something Saturday, April 17, 2004 El Mocambo Upstairs 464 Spadina ave. Toronto On ph. 416-777-1777 10PM $8 The Fat Cats are a veteran hard-working five-piece roots/rock act from Hamilton. Formed in 1993, the band spent it's formative years touring much of Canada and quickly attracted a legion of loyal fans from across the country. Mirroring the touring and improvisational practices of Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers, The Fat Cats spearheaded the development of a brand new grassroots improvisational rock or "jamband" music scene in Canada. Their second album "Daredevil," released in 1999, showed the Fat Cats' chemistry at it's finest with collaborations with guest musicians Steve Adams, Katin Kiss and The New Deal's Jaime Shields. Incorporating a global approach to songwriting by combining elements of folk, country, funk and blues "Daredevil," shows off the band’s muscular instrumental penchant for groove and harmony. The success of the constant touring and well-received album catapulted the band to a non-stop festival and club concert circuit for much of the 90's playing bills with Merl Saunders, moe., JGB and more recently with Little Feat. As their fanbase grew, other improvisational bands began to follow and a fresh new 'jamband' scene grew into a underground phenomenon in Canada. Constant touring and months of weekly shows and some line-up changes exhaustion set in and some personal differences arose. After taking a few months off sporadically throughout the winter and spring of 2003, the band decided to mutually part ways in April of last year. Inspiration was at an all time low and it was clear that the group was in dire need of a vacation. The Fat Cats said goodbye to the community that they had helped form to sit back, reflect and watch from the outside for a few months. Luckily, the dedication of the fans and of the musicians to keep the music alive has brought the Fat Cats back, and with the addition of new keyboardist and drummer, original members guitarists/vocalist Todd Gillies and Chris Gatchene with bassist Dave Hill have been playing with a resurgence of energy, performing strong shows in Southern Ontario. Back with confidence after a sold-out New Years Eve performance in Hamilton, The Fat Cats mark their return to Toronto on Saturday, April 17, 2004 at the Legendary El Mocambo Tavern with special guests Mr. Something Something. With a new double album in the works, The Fat Cats seem to be back in the saddle again, and the band played on...
