RELEASE ON THE KOOL KAT MUSIK LABEL!!  Every once in a while, we like to push the boundaries of the music we release. FaB (Fitzsimon and Brogan) are one such example. In the 90’s, Neil Fitzsimon and Bee Brogan were both members of the band Pretty Blue Gun who were signed to Cavell Records, releasing two critically-acclaimed albums. Their influences range from The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Jimmy Webb, Jacques Brel, The Smiths and David Bowie.  All the songs on this specially-priced 2CD (Disc 2 consists of 11 previously unreleased tracks) are written by Neil who also plays all of the guitars. Vocals, keyboards, drums and engineering is by Bee. Bee’s a vocal phenomenon with a unique range. At times, she can sound like Peter Perrett of The Only Ones, and at others, like a sultry Marianne Faithfull. David Bowie’s drummer from The Spiders from Mars, Woody Woodmansey and Elvis Costello’s drummer, Pete Thomas both guest on the record. The record was mixed by Pat Collier (of The Vibrators). “Manhattan’s avant garde would be proud of them.” – Pete Thomas “They have a unique and refreshing approach to their music especially at a time when so many things being produced seem to sound the same.” – Woody Woodmansey“ “They play a genuine and perfectly performed, no frills pop music that has something more, a sort of magic powder spread here and there, as in a magic trick.” – NovaMusicblog.com “Anchored in pop, FaB incorporate a great deal of styles ranging from Glam Rock to Psychedelic Rock. The heart and soul comes from their poetic lyricism which is delivered with a fiery passion that recalls Bowie’s most playful and theatrical work.” – BeachSloth.com  “Oozes great vibes, sounding like a wonderful summer evening watching the sunset on a pristine beach by the edge of an ocean at low tide.  It’s emotive and laced with substance yet delightfully lighthearted and easy to listen to.” -MusicExisistence.com   “Focus is everything in the indie rock genre, and if still to be believed in 2020, there’s no arguing whether or not this record checks all the right boxes to qualify as meticulously melodic (and brainily-constructed).” -  Indieshark.com   “I don’t think you have to be a hardcore indie rocker to dig what FaB do here. For those hungry for something a little different but still melodically tethered to a familiar, albeit unconventional, tradition in pop music, this record just might be a masterpiece.” -VentsMagazine.com  To our ears, FaB have created a swaggeringly fun record that cultivates some of the most beloved traits of pop music.  GREAT!!
