An interview with Brian Dunne — singer/songwriter and co-founder of Fantastic Cat — was part of a feature on the July 28 edition of The Devo Rock Show.
Devo caught up with Dunne at a recent Fantastic Cat show at Prescott Park in Portsmouth, N.H. Dunne talks about his 10-year career and provides some insight to Fantastic Cat, the New York City-based group he formed in 2021 with Don DiLego, Anthony D’Amato and Mike Montali.
Dunne also discussed his own work, including the upcoming release of Clams Casino (Missing Piece Records), his sixth solo album, which is out Sept. 5. Devo will play a few brand new singles.
Included in the program was music from Dunne’s last solo record, Loser On The Ropes (PMD Records) and Fantastic Cat’s latest, Now That’s What I Call Fantastic Cat! (Missing Piece).
Dunne was born and raised in the Hudson Valley area of New York and currently resides in Brooklyn. His self-released debut solo album, Songs From The Hive, came out in 2015.
His music features his unique sense of humor and insight into the world around him. He plays acoustic and electric guitar and provides powerful vocals both in Fantastic Cat and as a solo artist.
Dunne has appeared at The Philadelphia Folk Festival and has performed on National Public Radio’s Mountain Stage.
He’s currently on tour with Fantastic Cat until the beginning of August and then will be out on his “Clams Tour” to support his new solo effort with dates across the U.S. in the fall. Fantastic Cat also has live dates this fall and early winter.
