Queer Irish Rising Star of Alt Electropop ‘Chubby Cat’ releases summer bop ‘OH HONEY’ June 28th ahead of Stendhal, Electric Picnic and Brighton Pride shows

June 28, 2024

A very strong contender for Song of the Summer, ‘OH HONEY! from Chubby Cat is an infectious earmworm, and one of her strongest pop songs to date. The track has landed on Spotify New Music Friday this morning, and is already one of the 2FM Tracks Of The Week from today.

Chubby Cat recently played 3 showcases at The Great Escape, made waves at Primavera Pro and Forbidden Fruit and has a busy summer of festivals both here and the UK over the next couple of months including Brighton Pride, All Points East, Stendhall Festival, Boardmasters and Electric Picnic. Needless to say, it’s going to be a busy few months for this exciting Irish rising star of alt electropop.

Stamped with an individuality and high style of her own, Chubby Cat has had a busy year.  Named as one of the 2FM Rising Acts for 2024, and having ‘Big Dog Barking’ nominated for a RTE Choice Prize Song Of The Year, Chubby Cat has hit the ground running in 2024. She recently represented Ireland at ESNS Eurosonic in the Netherlands, The Great Escape in Brighton and Primavera Pro in Barcelona, as well as winning the coveted ‘Best Artist’ at Ireland Music Week. Chubby Cat was named by District Magazine as one of the ‘Future of Irish Music’ acts for 2024and has just been named one of the Gay Times Breakthrough Artists of the Year for 2024.

The Cork via Dublin via London and now based in Belfast pop artist is doing it on her own terms to astonishing effect. Her vocals are second to none and musically she experiments with new styles accruing a hardcore fan base everywhere she goes.

She’s already been making waves in Ireland with her earlier singles, Big Dog Barking, 21st Century Panic Attack, 100 miles an hour, & QUIET picking up support at Irish Radio, blogs and assorted DSP’s including Spotify’s New Music FridayFresh FindsGLOWUK & IE: Fresh Finds & New Pop UK .

Single ‘Big Dog Barking’ was nominated for a RTE Choice Prize as one of their ‘Irish Songs Of The Year’.

Several of Chubby Cats previous releases have been made ‘Track of the Week’ on Spin South West2FM, and received significant play on 2FMToday FM and a host of other regional stations.
