Fat Fest

Posted by pegge in News

Fatboy’s next hold in Germany was nothing less than Bayrische Munich! High on yodel and Gebirgsjägerbrot, Fatboy delivered 16 tons of energy in minor keys to the people who chose Fat Fest instead of Oktober Fest. It was a pleasure meeting you all! See you soon in a bierstube near you! 20110921-182349.jpg

Kölscher Rockabilly

Posted by pegge in News

Salute to all you Kölner Rockers that stopped by this Blue Shell juke joint on a monday night! Together with you there were low down sounds and moves that will be discussed in the towers of the Dome. When will they be back? Soon in a joint near you!
This day the route leads Fatboy along Autobahn to Tyrol und Munchen. And as a coincidence there is some sort of party going on……..Oktoberfest they call it………..

Kolding past Midnight

After a few rainy hours in our beloved Fatboy Overdrive Tour Bus, Kolding, Denmark was the next victim of this tour. The good people of this city was to be exposed to the sounds of heartbending, mindwrecking Melancholy Rockabilly from the north. The shaggy rock club Pitstop suited Fatboy perfect for this Saturday night. We salute the dedicated music lovers that supported us through the night and hopefully we will see you again in the near future. Keep up the good work in supporting Fatboy by spreading the word! But the question of the night remains – who was the winner of the Hillybilly Limbo contest?

Copenhagen at Midnight

Last night Fatboy made their first appearance on Danish soil. Beatiful Copenhagen was drenched in sunshine and greeted us with smörrebröd, pölser and Gammeldansk! Ohhwee! Sometimes we have the best job around. The Danish (actually Scandinavian) crowd seemed to enjoy the Rockabilly Drama Fatboy presented at Beta around midnight. A room full of tapping feet can’t be wrong, Fatboy Will be back!

Polska Rockabilly vol.2

Posted by pegge in News

Wanted!!! A new booking agent that appreciates and understands the value of S L E E P !
According to the Fatboy (rock around the) clock, the bus left to the airport at 4 in the morning. As usual, we were struggling home as the birds woke up…….
Finally there, at the Park Kultury in the small town of Nowy Tomysl we were welcomed by Magic Man Piotr Kujda (hope I got that right…) and his fabolous crew. Fatboy preached about bad news, trains that never goes home and tears that never leaves. In other words, one joyful evening. And we just have to salute the fans that drove 500km (!) from Warsaw for a happy afternoon with Fatboy. We are not worthy….can’t wait to see you all again! Til then, Rock Hard!

Return of the Ugly

Of course Fatboy was invited to the “Return of the Ugly” festival in Västerås along with acts like The Beat from Palookaville, Barbwires and Ray Collins Hot Club!!!! A big hand for the handsome blokes that created a great line-up for the evening although it left more to wish from the lack of sounds that came off stage. Not all bands are blessed with a guy like Robban, the Master of Audio! Ugly or not, Fatboy had a blast giging the scene of Västerås along with the beatiful people that showed up. Until next time!

Tall Ships Rockabilly Race

All aboard! In the harbour of Halmstad, alongside beatiful tall ships with beatiful tall sailors in beatiful white uniforms Fatboy blended nicely in their Rockabilly stage uniforms. On stage, as the river was dragged, Carolina Lee saw the ghost of Captain Baines along with black sails in the sunset. We salute the nice and warming crowd that found a safety haven in Fatboy!

Rock this River

As the night fell on St Eskils ol’ river, six sharp dressed gentlemen climbed the stage on the River Festival in Eskilstuna. The Devil told his tale to the screamin’ sounds of amplified six-string noise as the crowd hollered to the moon over Sörmland. Rock this River!

Kurbits Stomp

A sort of homecoming – visiting Dalarna is special for Fatboy since half of the band have their roots way down low in the soil around the lake of Siljan. On last sunday and monday Fatboy arrived in Rättvik and Sågmyra to perform two magic Overdrive shows. It might not be the easiest thing to do after chatting with childhood friends about long gone times and who did what and why. There’s always this Boxer line that finds it’s way to the back of your mind – losing in front of your homecrowd – but Sågmyra wiped every fear down the drain. Thank god! Bear hugs to Frida and Robban for their 10 year anniversary and everyone else that still have to guts to go ridin’ on a monday night!

Rock n Roll Vertigo

Afraid of heights? Loud Slap Base? Swedish Heatwave? Red lipstick? Then last night at Liseberg was not the thing for you. Fatboy entered the stage among Giant Green Rabbits and kids with Ice Cream all over just to be overhelmed by the response of the crowd that showed up at this early evening set. A crowd that just seem to grow each time we show up on the westcoast. This Rollercoaster Train will keep rollin’ so see you all when the Train stops at your station.
