I've been admiring Jason's art since adding his band The Budrows to the FatCat playlist last year. His band is a testament to the great sound you can get out

Before getting to the year end stuff, I'd like to take a moment and give my sincere thanks to all FatCat Radio listeners, artists, & supporters. YOU rock! Shortly after the passing of our beloved mascot, 'Big Fat G' in January, I came very close to shutting down FatCat entirely and riding off into the sunset. Obviously that didn't happen but things are quite different around here 12 months later.

Some of the newest additions to the FatCat Radio roster of artists. Click images for more info.                     Also...I've gotten a head start on the usual end of the year playlist shakeup. Jettisoning some old tracks, long broken up acts, etc. No major changes, just the normal clean up I do around this time of the year.

The logs show that earlier this morning a listener from Roatán, Honduras tuned in to the live stream after doing a Google search of 'FatCat Radio Network'. That makes the 1st confirmed listener from Honduras and brings the FatCat Radio Global Reach total to 97 countries. I thank you one and all for supporting the station that supports independent rock & blues! New in 2011 (91) Namibia (92)

One Angry Swede Seal of Approval While I certainly approve of the way this level headed young man decided to announce his upcoming solo career, I can not endorse ever agreeing to have a Bon Jovi cover in your set in the 1st place.

QUICK REVIEW: Kudos to Waxgordon (Detroit, MI) for continuing their tradition of giving it all away. I'm not sure you can 2 songs an album or even an EP. How 'bout a 2 song single? Whatever you call it, Fear Burden Blues is well worth your time and duh... you can't beat the price. Available for FREE at Bandcamp.com. The title track shows a bit more musical dynamics than most Waxgordon tunes

Sons of Rock (Madrid, Spain) "SONS OF ROCK is a band created in the summer of 2007 by Alba Céspedes (vocals and lead guitar).
