One of the best bands to dance to in the surrounding Los Angeles areas, Phat Cat Swinger was influenced by the classic sounds of Bobby Darin, Louis Prima, and Frank Sinatra and mixed with the new swingin’ sounds of such bands as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Royal Crown Revue, and Brian Setzer, Phat Cat Swinger is a band filled with booming toms, walking bass lines, jumpin’ guitar rhythms, roaring horn lines and smooth vocals. Founded by alto sax player Marco Palos, baritone sax player William Pattison, and former members Matthew Burdick (drums) and Sebastian Western (guitar) nearly seven years ago, Phat Cat Swinger is one of the hottest live swing bands to hit Southern California’s underground scene. With their rise in popularity Phat Cat Swinger has toured the country, crossed over to Europe and performed shows alongside Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Royal Crown Revue and even alongside Shirley Jones. A big break for this band came when they made an appearance in Christina Aguilera’s “Candyman” music video, where they performed in the beginning scene of the song dressed up to the nines in white suites; and have recently played for the Stars And Stripes Benefit at the venue of every man’s dream, the Playboy Mansion.
