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.


Born of the idea to bring fun, laughter, great music and entertain
audiences with a collective showmanship between 9 band members,
Phat Cat Swinger has grown to be 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
and performed shows with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Cherry Poppin'
Daddies, Royal Crown Revue and even alongside The Coasters.


A big break for the 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
suits; they have also appeared as band members for the Jonas
Brothers in their music video "Love Bug" and more recently played
for the Stars And Stripes Benefit at the venue of every man’s dream,
the Playboy Mansion.


Phat Cat Swinger's first album (self titled) was released in July
2005 and held such fanatical songs such as “Hep Cats”,
“Money Tree” and the crowd’s favorite sing along song “Smolie
Olie Olie”. Most of the bands original songs were composed by
Marco Palos with the rest of the band pitching in until they
reached melodies that take you from toe tapping jazz to a
smooth sultry tango.


Amongst their amazing original songs they perform cover
songs that take you back to a time of nostalgia with such
songs as “Run Around Sue”, “Sing Sing Sing”, “The Way You
Look Tonight” “In The Mood” and “Jump Jive And Wail”.


As of May 2009 the band has now released a three song E.P
with their amazing song “Won’t You Tell Me?”, “Ain’t Got No
Home” (which is amazing to see live, Phil hits those high notes
and Marco with his sultry deep baritone voice add wonders to
this song) and their new song “Dance Dance Dance” (with
lyrics written by former lead vocalist Tim Porter) that lets listeners
know there is no right or wrong way to dance.
