notes
If you enjoy the classic sounds of Bobby Darin, Louis Prima, and Frank Sinatra mixed with the new swingin' sounds of bands such as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Royal Crown Revue, and Brian Setzer... You've made it to the right place.
Our first album, Phat Cat Swinger, was very much influenced by every generation of swing artist that we grew up listening to thanks in part to our parents. It's a very up-tempo and upbeat album that will truly lift your mood and make you smile.
We are currently working on our follow up album which is a mixture of new distinctive sounds that will soon be known as the phat sound that Phat Cat Swinger brings to this world.
"THE MASTERS OF SWING"
-Victor Valley Daily Press 2006
Let us take you back to our beginnings
as we remember it...
It was an unusually cold night in August when founding members Marco, Matthew & Will got together & decided to bring back a sound that's been missing from the music scene.
Booming toms, walking bass lines, jumpin’ rhythms on guitar, roaring horn lines, & the smooth vocals of Tim Porter is what they found after a dedicated search to find the right musicians for this creation.
Five and a half years in the making & growing strong, this band has been fueled by the intensity that can only be felt when the perfect combination has been made.
Currently one of the hottest live swing bands to
come out of the Southern California underground scene,
Phat Cat Swinger attacks SWING head on & makes it their own.
The release of their self titled Debut album takes you from an up tempo foot stomping jazz, to a sultry tango in the night and sends you back to a time of nostalgia & youth.
From humble beginnings in a schoolhouse to an evening at the prestigious House of Blues and beyond, Phat Cat Swinger delivers the goods & makes you beg for more. Watch out for the next revival of SWING music like never before!

My parents are big fans of Phat Cat Swingers. I sent my father a copy of their CD for his birthday. They loved it so much that they signed up for swing dancing lessons!

Too Hep, Gotta Spread That Jammin' Sound!!
author: Randy SmithNever heard of them before, but after seeing Phat Cat Swinger Live in Victorville, Ca. I just had to get their CD! I just can't get enough of that All Around Jammin' Sound!!
This band leaves you Jumin' and begging for more.
author: Smokey JoeI have had the awesome pleasure of dancing and talking with this band in person. They are awesome people and play the most awesome music ever. If you think the cd is energetic then you should see them live. Their verions of sing,sing,sing and Zip Gun Bop will make you jump even if it is the dead of night and you are very tired. This is the best swing band ever!!!!!

the hippest, swingest band out there!
author: Will PinaThis is a great cd for anyone that likes swing music or anyone that enjoys music that makes you want to dance and sing and puts you in a good mood!... these cats are hep cats!... my oh my!
PCS is the keenest!
author: Lucky KatThe PCS album is THE best self-produced album that anyone has heard in a long time! What an amazing sound they have...they WILL be the next swing band to "make it"...after we see a re-amurgence of the neo-swing movement in/around 2007. Look for HEPCATS to hit the charts in a few years...& don't doubt them for a second, because in that time they will have a label and another record to boast about. SWING HARD, DANCE NAKED!!!
- author: Jack&Pops
Awesome...Makes you want to dance all the time. And sets you in a good mood. Makes you want to hear it over and over again.
Great, Makes you want to move with the music.
author: GuoleiAwsome sound, Great Vocals,Music, and Showmanship.
