Brian Dunne: Fantastic Cat

W/ Fantastic Cat

Brian Dunne 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 into something less

cotton candy young love, more burn down the banks. 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 along the likes of The

Decemberists, Jeff Hanson, and Sleater- Kinney. 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.
