Description:
622 North presents Tweed and The Fat Catz in concert on Saturday, December 9, 2017.

Philadelphia's funktronica powerhouse, Tweed, is filling dance floors with their high-energy fusion of funk, rock, and electronica. Just as their namesake fabric of mingling colors and textures, Tweed has interwoven a psychedelic web of high energy performance and improvisation.

Their collaboration can take listeners from multi-layered visions through the psyche to sweaty, raging, disco dance parties driven by their own incessant beat. With national tours, countless festival appearances, and a uniquely cohesive sound, they have proven they can bring the fun anywhere they go.

The Fat Catz weave layers of funk and rock over catchy hooks, building from tight, joyous grooves into explosive improvisation. Their infectious energy as a live band has brought them a dedicated local following and swift regional recognition. With over 200 shows and counting at a variety of venues and festivals as well as playing official after parties for nationally touring acts, The Fat Catz have developed a synergy and synchronicity that is impressive for any jam band, let alone one with such a relatively short career.

Originally based out of Blacksburg, VA, The Fat Catz started merely as a street music group but have gradually evolved into the fun loving, rocking, and jamming group of cordial fellows. By using emotionally driven compositions that rely heavily on improvisation and progressive elements, the Fat Catz are sure to give the audience a show to remember. Laying down layers of electric jams and the bright timbre of acoustic instruments, The Fat Catz create infectious and dance-friendly atmospheres that are one of a kind.

Heavily influenced by artists like Lotus and the String Cheese Incident, the Fat Catz create a sound that can only be defined as “space rock,” a combination of genres portrayed by their original piece, “42”. The upbeat song opens with a quiet and relaxed intro, only to build into music geared by dance elements and a driving guitar melody that makes it impossible to stand still. The audience can find themselves fall into an EDM trance only to be awoken moments later by a fast-paced solo. Their style leaves room for interpretation – there are no limitations to the Fat Catz’s sound.
