Fat Dog

Club

Friday 23:30 - 00:20

When the chaotic south London rabble known as Fat Dog formed, they made two rules: they were going to be a healthy band who looked after themselves and there would be no saxophone presence in their music. Two simple edicts to live by, and two things long-since broken by the Brixton five-piece. Fat Dog are one of the most exciting breakthrough band of the past few years, conjuring of the sort of frenzied and wild live shows not seen in the capital for years and now the creators of WOOF., their brilliant and mind-bending debut album, but they are not healthy. One of them has a foot odour problem. And they also have a saxophone player in the line-up. “Yeah, it’s all gone out the fucking window,” says frontman and squadron leader Joe Love, real name Joe Love. The sound Fat Dog make is a thrilling blend of electro-punk, rock’n’roll snarling, techno soundscapes, industrial-pop and rave euphoria, music for letting go to which Love describes as “screaming-into-a-pillow music”.
