Fat White Family
Touch The Leather, single by Fat White Family to be released 10th March.....
“Rock & roll with the blood slowed to a dark sweetness
and just like how it began, with Little Richard, Roy, Jerry Lee - psychotic,
monstrous, doomed” - The Quietus
"Champagne Holocaust is an assault of warped fantasies, weirdo blues, guttural
garage and drug-addled deviance" - The Fly
"A sleaze infested groove machine banging out taut, sex-electrified jams... Buy
it!" - Vice
“The most exciting band in London” - NME
Check out Fat White Family's 'Touch Of Leather', which is taken from their
debut album ‘Champagne Holocaust.’
Fat White Family are the greatest young rock band in the UK and this probably
extends to the rest of the world as well. What’s that? You want to know more?
Christ on callipers, ok, let’s see what we’ve got here then…
It won’t come as news to anyone who has been to one of their regular Slide-In
nights at their local pub and HQ, The Queens Head in Brixton, South London but
for a band that only really coalesced as the Fat White Family in 2011, the six
piece have already got several once-in-a-lifetime/ ‘OMG - were you there?’ gigs
under their belt.
The group played their first open mic night in 2009 and honed their sound at
Hank Dog’s Easycome, a regular South London folk event but by the time of their
first headline gig under their current name in 2011, they’d added a heavier,
more psychedelic and electric element to the music. An early fan of these shows
was Liam from Trashmouth Records who would eventually put out their awesome
Champagne Holocaust album in 2013. This LP – a mix of class war, Communist
themed surrealism, odes to auto sex and to sex in autos, calls for full scale
insurrection, unabashed sleaze and grooves that will just not let up – has
become that old fashioned thing: a word of mouth success. Their second release,
the Wet Hot Beef EP (a split with Taman Shud) was released on Xmas day and
points towards a viciously bright future for the group.
Fat White Family are about to embark on a UK tour.
