adambrot Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I don't what the list etiquette is to respond to ancient posts like this but F*ck it... dems de perks of being a newbie!I'm looking forward to this show because, although I've never heard the Fat Cats before, I have an intimate relationship with them already. My brother (www.spectraleyes.com) painted me an interpreted portrait (oil on canvas) for my birthday in 1996 that the Fat Cats then used for the cover of their "Daredevil" album. I look forward to telling them at the show that the original is currently hanging above my mantel even though I've never heard a note of their music (sure... flame away!). I suppose I should feel entitled to a free copy of the cd, non?!?cheersadambrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmelbatoast Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I wish I could go to my first Fat Cats concert again. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambrot Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 they were starting to get big in the local SW Ont scene just as I left London for grad studies. That's how my brother new them. I remember at the time that there was a vibrant jamband thing going on at the time with other bands like Kickstand Travolta, One Step Beyond, Borrowed Thyme etc. Haven't thought about those names in a while......

As far as I am aware, there are no more copies. Honestly, their live performances are where it's at in my subtle opinion anyhow. I'd check out archive instead.Hoping to see some Ottawa skanks out at this quickly approaching event. Very much looking forward to meeting some new folks as well. (I"m pretty sure that I am echoing sentiments that I expressed in another thread that was about this show as well). But let me just reiterate.... looking forward to it!! It's been a long time since the boys have ventured too far beyond the good ol' GOlden Horseshoe (minus some sporadic summer festival stints).Cheers!

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Funny, the vicarious association (and pretty wild, too!) - I remember meeting/hearing Deanna Knight (who used to sing with them, and whom my brother-in-law had recorded) over ten years ago, long before I ever heard/saw/met the Fatties, which suggests among other things the vast arc of their musical trajectory. These guys are so deeply rooted in what they do together they'd have to work hard not to blow an audience away. I sure know I can't wait to see them again (even cutting short my open-stage that night to shoot up the highway to do so). Just the relatively few times I have caught them have embedded some rich musical memories in me for years and years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you private message me your snail mail address, I'll be sure to send you a copy of Daredevil in the mail. I know that the Cats won't mind. It will be a copy without the jewel case artwork, but that won't really matter! It's no secret around here that I love the Fatties. When people ask me what my favourite band is I don't have a definite answer, but the Fatties are the answer as often as or more often than any other band.

I also strongly advise bringing Alabama Man. Use force if you have to.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark tonin Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Brad,As much as I'd love to make this happen, it's not looking likely unless I can crank up the lightsabre to new heights to fight off the enemies that are holding me back. The force seems to be much stronger in the summer!Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to see how things unfold as the date draws closer, but the odds aren't looking great when I see all of the stuff that appears on my calendar at around that time.Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Jane Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 keep us in the discussion loop/planning loop as well....you know there's room to stay here (once we get rid of the kids, there's even an extra bunk-bed ) there's also a killer jam-space/practice space. the only thing you need to work into your plans is the need for a DD for the night (or wee early morning) since we're more than a cab ride away from downtown.

mark tonin Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hey Adam,The disc is copied and will be dropped into the snail mail system tomorrow.Here is the track list:(Waiting for) SpringTeaspoonThe StationI Give it AwayDaredevilBreatheSing Me Gently HomeMontana HazeHighlanderYouI agree with edger that there is a lot of great live stuff by Fat Cats up on the archive. Having said that, this is a solid cd. In the May 2002 issue of Scene & Heard, there is a list of some Canadian albums that never got the attention that they deserved. Here is what Mike Knoll (mk) had to say about Daredevil as one of those releases:"I've never been able to figure out why this CD isn't in everybody's collection. These are the songs that the Fatties will be celebrated for forever and they are some of the most beautiful, catchy, riffin', feelin', Deadly, rock 'n' roll songs recorded in Canada. If this CD can't catapult the band to massive success nothing could. Summertime songs that sooth and fuse the need for skilled playing and deft songwriting."Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
