Fat White Family live at The Lexington. Second night of their two night warm-up gigs. After the obligatory introduction from the legendary orator Patrick Lyons, the boys slowly build it up with a new song, When I Leave, which feels like beautifully drowning in honey, slowly ramping up to a frenetic mid set crescendo with some old favourites, Tinfoil Deathstar, I Am Mark E Smith, Heaven on Earth. A notice to all would be frontmen/women. If you don't end up like Lias Saoudi after Heaven on Earth, you're holding back. Filmed in almost night-vision from the mosh by Lou Smith.
1:09 - When I Leave
7:07 - Tinfoil Deathstar
11:16 - I Am Mark E Smith
16:30 - Heaven On Earth

@@crc6720 It really has been about the interplay between these two, and increasingly, musically from Nathan too, who has been growing his musical confidence and influence. If ever you have watched their early manifestations, the evolution of Lias as the hyper animated uber front-man is observable by degree.

@@LouSmith yes can only imagine how fine it will sound on lp...really liked tastes good with the money too..def a single type song....shades of earl brutus with the glam type drums...really good to see saul and lias singing together more on the new ones.

@LouSmith 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah. Really glams up after a more typical swampy Fats chugging intro. 'Money' definitely one to watch. The new bass-player, Adam Brennan, who has been head-hunted from the plethora of South London bands he regularly adds his genius guitar licks to, is being primed to cover Saul's guitar parts in the ( frankly likely ) event that Saul will abscond during tours. Still gonna leave a gap ...

@artificiallyyours603 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah I read once Saul isn't mad on touring. New members fitting in good..they'll soon have as many ex members as The Fall (Prob not likely).Have seen them do some great gigs without Saul tbh but it's never quite the same without him I guess.

@LouSmith 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah. They were in intensive rehearsals ahead of these gigs. Drummer may be a relative of Saul, Alex has been there a while now and seems a fixture, and Adam Brennan is stoked to be onboard, but must be itching to get his hands round those guitar riffs.

Yeah it always seems a band that would be fun to be onstage with...Adam is definitely a survivor and keeper !! He's doing warmduscher too now isn't he...another great band with Sauls blood in it...very talented man. Did even feel a touch of his insecure men edge in the new stuff...natural I guess that it all might start seeping together a bit seeing as they all seem to be part of each other's various projects.

@LouSmith 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah. He'll be first dibs to the Fats for all the upcoming touring and festivals. Its great to see Saul joining in the honours on the mic a bit more, and Nathan has been putting a lot of influence into the soundscape. Developing nicely.

@LouSmith 5 жыл бұрын

There is no colour version. When there is haze and red LED lights shining at you colour is tricky to control. Lighting was way too low for decent image making. I didn't see any great pics come from that night, you can see the flashes and focus aids on Lias the whole time. It was much better the previous day, but haze ...
