Friday night in Stockholm. The second day of the Fatboy sessions in the Decibel Studio? Outside people are getting ready for the weekend, lovers stroll along the pier while the family father is on his way to pick up kids from daycare before closing time. Inside, 6 guys with producer Simon is working on Vol.4 in the Fatboy catalogue. We wouldn’t trade these hours against any lover or stressful father this friday night. Being in the studio is da shit! Hopefully we will come up with a slow fox for the loving couple and a relaxing rhythm for the father when the kids are asleep. For all you out there – have a rocking friday! We will!

Alfie strumming for the lovers

And here’s the Sunday we have been waiting for. Some struggle in the long distance ski race Vasaloppet in the woods of Dalarna while others are counting the hours to finally taste the Fatboy Brown Ale. Either way, we are talking about a mission that requries long, hard preparation where only the selected few will enjoy the sweetness of this Sunday. Enjoy! Fatboy.

2012 Training Camp

Here’s a reminder to turn up the volume on your TV sets on Saturday the 4th of Feb.
The Fatboy Trio with Hannu, Alf and Pegge will host the Bettina Talkshow and do “Last Train Home” in a live version. Since the show is about the interaction between the two countries, Hannu will give us a view on how life was being born in Finland and coming to Sweden.

SVT2 Saturday 18.20 is the warmup time for the Saturday Night HolaaBaloo or the start of a cozy evening in front of the fireplace. Either way, Fatboy will get ya in da mood……Stay warm!

Varje rockabillyband med självaktning bör ha ett eget öl.

När det flerfaldigt prisbelönade Dalabryggeriet Oppigårds kontaktade oss i Fatboy och erbjöd sig att brygga en exklusiv Ale i vårt namn tog det exakt en sekund innan vi tackade ja. Med Stockholms främsta ölpalats, Akkurat på tåget, är vi extra stolta!

Vi arbetar just nu med vårt fjärde album men kommer att ta ett avbrott i arbetet för att dricka öl. Söndagen den 4 mars välkomnas fans och vänner till att låta sig väl smaka av både öl och Fatboy live.

Fatboy Brown Ale är en lite mörkare ale med maltsmaker som i smakskalan kan placeras mellan knäck, farin och mörk choklad. Ölet är även humlat med ett antal amerikanska humlesorter som ger ölet en modern citruston.

Var: Akkurat Restaurang & Bar, Hornsgatan 18, Stockholm
När: Söndag 4 mars klockan 20:00
Hur: Biljetterna till aftonen kommer lottas ut till er som skyndar att maila brownale@fatboy.se

Väl mött/
Fatboy

Every rockabilly band worth its salt should have its own beer.

When the multi-award winning Dala brewery Oppigårds contacted us in Fatboy and offered to brew an exclusive Ale in our name, it took exactly one second before we said yes. With Stockholm’s number one beer hall, Akkurat, in the boat it felt like a match made in heaven!

We are currently working on our fourth album, but will take a short break at work to drink beer. Sunday 4th of March we welcome fans and friends to taste our delicious beer and listen to Fatboy live.

Fatboy Brown Ale is a darker ale with malt flavors and taste of toffee, brown sugar and dark chocolate. The beer also consists of a number of American varieties of hops that gives it a modern touch of citrus.

Where: Akkurat Restaurant & Bar, Hornsgatan 18, Stockholm

Fatboy wants to thank everyone out there for supporting us through the year and wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy Rock n Roll 2012! Let’s keep it cooking!
FATBOY – Alf – Jake – Hannu – Marcus – Pegge – Janne

In the haze of Christmas shopping mania, Fatboy stepped into the Decibel Studio in Stockholm (http://www.decibelstudios.se/) to do some sessions at this legendary studio. What a thrill to see everyone again! We have all been busy with other projects and after catching up with the latest gossip, we were ready to push the red button. And, as natural as a tree indoors, a couple of new Fatboy originals were brought to daylight as the angels cried.

On this very friday, the 7th october, Fatboy Trio will make an appearance live on the radio show “Musikplats Stockholm”. We thought Berlin would be the last show of 2011 but there is nothing like a good Fat surprise. It will be broadcasted live in front of the people who make their way to the Radio building in Stockholm between 10-13 on friday. So why not make it an early weekend and join us on friday!! It’s free and there are a bunch of artists performing. More info can be found at:

Tune In!

Berlin was the last stop of the Deutschland Overdrive Tour! A sunday night at the legendary Roadrunners Bike Club. Getting on top of yourself and giving the Berliner a taste of Fatboy at it’s very best was this sunday night’s mission. Despite a 12 day (and night) touring in our body and soul we gave our very best and we do hope you got a sip of the Fatboy poison. If not, we will be back in your exciting city!! If not tomorrow, then maybe the day after. And what a pleasure meeting up with Ingo & his crew at White Trash! Thanks!
We salute you all – fans and music lovers – for meeting Fatboy this September! Love to you all!

OK, sorry for the short delay in the reporting of this Overdrive Bockwurst Tour, but we suffered from bad connections to the wonderful world of 3G or Wi-Fi. Anyway, the next stop was Bremens Lagerhaus, a punky club in a really nice neighbourhood with clubs and vintage shops. After a short nap we got up to enjoy the sounds of Bremen Rockabilly band Velvetone! A really strong band with great output. Thanks for backing us up – onstage and offstage! Fatboy had a great night with the good crowd that showed up for the Bremen Bop.

The band in a cheerful mood, relaxing and having fun moments before a show…….

Weinheim, not far from the center of knowledge Heidelberg, was the third halt of the Overdrive Tour. With just 35 miles in summer heat (!) we were treated with local food and wine at the Central Café. Served with tender care. The nightly show was to be recognized but this time, with a drop of poison in it – The Weinheim Twist. We do hope too see you and all your friends in the future.
This day holds some 50 miles to the Bop Street City of Bremen, see you out there!
