Kitty Kat Fan Club
Kitty Kat Fan Club is made up of Casey Jones (vocals), Justin Amans (drums), Brianda Nocheazul (keyboards, vocals), Sim Castro (guitar), Jon McMaster (bass), Mike Park (guitar, vocals). The band was formed by Mike Park in San Jose, California. Park’s goal was to “put together a band of local friends who could get together a few times a month, write songs and have fun hanging out.”
Not only does Kitty Kat Fan Club play good music, they also do good deeds: Five percent of sales of the Kitty Kat Fan Club record will go to various cat and dog rescue groups including Coppers Dream and 13th Street Cat Rescue. Asian Man Records also donates 5% of all profits annually to various social justice groups including No Mas Muertes, Southern Poverty Law Center, and Legal Aid Justice Center.
The title track is first up, opening on jangly guitars riding a simple, infectious rhythm topped by delicious vocal harmonies. It’s a vibrant feel-good song full of shimmering undulations of glistening colors.
“You Got Me Modernized” delivers potent pop-punk dynamics, along with touches of riot grrrl timbres from the vocals.
From a purely subjective viewpoint, the best tracks on the album include “I’m Loving You More Than I Should,” which features a stellar intro composed of two guitars, one tight, the other full of pewter sheens of coloration. The melody exudes glossy, glowing hues, along with a radiant guitar solo.
“Send Me A Message For The Holidays” rides a contagious driving rhythm coated with lustrous guitars rife with jangly spangles of polished pigments. I love the rolling snare accents on this tune, giving the music a shuffling rolling feel. “You Got Me Modernized” delivers potent pop-punk dynamics, along with touches of riot grrrl timbres from the vocals. A strident solo section thrums with unswerving impetus.
“I Could Be The One” combines twee pop flavors with hints of country-lite, infusing the tune with a scrumptious supple sonic stream vaguely reminiscent of The Go-Go’s because of its sparkling aura. “This Curtain Call” is another song exuding laces of So-Cal-flavored country-pop colors. Thin Lizzy-spiked guitars imbue the harmonics with burnished flows of shining resonance, as the marvelously posh vocals glide overhead.
Dreamy Little You surpasses yummy, and heads toward enchantingly luscious. Wonderfully charming vocals and glimmering guitars provide magical music.
