The exciting supergroup Fantastic Cat is so great, we're featuring an episode on each one of it's members. So with this endeavor, you get 5 nextfavbands! You're welcome! They are all that good - trust us.
Our second Cat is Brian Dunne, who is not your grandma’s antiseptic, pseudo baby boomer singer songwriter. Known for his laugh-to-keep-from-crying, darkly humorous lyrics, Dunne’s work reconfigures the limiting nature of the genre. This DIY ethos, born from a healthy New York cynicism self-conceptualized, funded, and dragged to every willing venue, found an easy home at Kill Rock Stars.
Releasing his fourth album in early 2023, his first on KRS, Dunne is bending the sounds of American rock into masterfully composed, existentially poignant, wildly catchy renderings of being alive.
We'll dive into his creative process where he loves songwriting, lyrics, titling the track, and album sequencing. He loves each part!
We also spend time talking about the "inner critic" and how sometimes it can be motivating, and other times it can prevent you from creating and drive you mad.
We'll share a bunch of tracks from Brian's catalog, like "Sometime After This", "New Tattoo" and "Something To Live For" and he'll regale us with a live performance during the broadcast.
We then also get to the seminal moment when he joins the supergroup Fantastic Cat and share a few of those songs as well.
We are joined this episode by guest co-host George Hrab who was just inducted in to the Podcast Hall of Fame!!
So fantastic...indeed!
