\nThese are some words and thoughts that come to mind when you are in the same room with <\/span>Fat White Famil<\/strong>y<\/strong>, the sickest band in England. This could either be the worst gig you\u2019ve ever seen or the best music event in years. The six-piece commune of low-lifes bring a terrifying and unconventional fest of repugnance and hate granted by some of the most inventive noise you’ll hear in a long time. <\/span>Lias<\/strong> \u2013 one of the best frontmans in recent years \u2013 is currently <\/span>homeless and visibly exhausted. <\/span>Saul<\/strong>, the lead guitar player and orchestrator of the band, just return from <\/span>rehab. The rest of the gang also look ill, disgusted and disgraceful. It seems that <\/b>any member could die on the stage at any time tonight and the band will still go on with their cocktail of noise that revisits the darkest corners of pop music. Fat White Family<\/strong> is a tempting formula for immediate disaster \u2013 certainly the most appealing side of rock ‘n’ roll.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Due to the immediacy of the sound, ephemeral danger and antagonistic appeal, Fat White Family<\/strong> carries the risk of becoming a caricature of themselves. They carry the misfortune of losing the unpredictability and menace of their shows and that they become part of an over-exposed status quo. So what\u2019s next after releasing two of the best albums of the decade and throwing some of the sickest and most chaotic gigs in years? What\u2019s next for them? Would it be possible to mutate into an even more nauseous form of noise that will keep them radical, intriguing and sonically unhealthy? Think of other low-life precursors like Iggy & The Stooges<\/strong>, New York Dolls<\/strong> or The Germs<\/strong>. These kind of bands are not meant to last long \u2013 that’s not their intention \u2013 but their legacy stays forever.<\/p>\n The drugs. The constant mental and physical decay. The abuse. The disgust towards a cracked society. The internal problems. The part self-inflicted choice to live in the border of danger and death is certainly appealing, but this is just for the most adventurous. Their mission is to make a confrontational statement; to alter the current fractured system and to attack the rotten music industry. Something that has been achieved by Fat White Family<\/strong> a long time ago. So what else to prove? If you have the chance to see Fat White Family<\/strong> do it before is too late.<\/p>\n
