O.K. Perhaps a slight technical misrepresentation, but it is true that Marc Gunn and the Dubliners’ Tabby Cats have been signed to Gestalt Records to distribute their album entitled “Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers.” This entertaining collection of Irish drinking songs is inspired by the furry little McKittens that are so near and dear to the heart of lead singer Marc Gunn and so many others. These cats are moving up in the world as they just put their paw print on this distribution deal with Gestalt to launch next month.
Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 6, 2006 -- O.K. Perhaps a slight technical misrepresentation, but it is true that Marc Gunn and the Dubliners’ Tabby Cats have been signed to Gestalt Records to distribute their album entitled “Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers.” This entertaining collection of Irish drinking songs is inspired by the furry little McKittens that are so near and dear to the heart of lead singer Marc Gunn and so many others. These cats are moving up in the world as they just put their paw print on this distribution deal with Gestalt to launch next month.
Marc describes his motivation for the album in the following way:
"I started singing Irish drinking songs when I co-founded the Brobdingnagian Bards. But I learned to write silly parodies from my dad. So when I was on the phone in 2003 and casually started singing a version of "Wild Rover" about cats, I had a revelation. I will rewrite my favorite Irish songs with lyrics about cats."
The album has been a cult favorite download for some time. One loyal fan has been quoted as saying:
"I love this [I'll Tell My Cat] If me gran had heard it before passing, she'd sung it in the pubs for sure, right after The Dundee Cat. As a fellow cat person. Thanks for the laugh."
For those who can’t wait for the cd’s release next month, songs can be sampled and downloaded at http://www.catdrinkingsongs.com/cat_nip.shtml. For those who can, the album will be available at most retailers on- and off-line as well as directly through Gestalt Records.
With songs such as “When Kitty Eyes are Smiling” and “Furagone’s Wake” and other favorites, this collection of songs will certainly put a new face on some old standbys. Be careful though, that face may just have whiskers.
Gestalt Records focuses on bands that fall outside of the mainstream and would otherwise may not receive the opportunity to be distributed.
