Fat

Fat's sound could be best described as a mix of East coast blues and West coast psychedelia, strongly influenced by Quicksilver Messenger Service etc.

They could have made it to the big time, but an unfortunate drug bust led RCA to cancel a planned follow-up album, and try as they might, the group were unable to secure another recording contract although two further albums were released in the late 70's. Both were produced by ex-Mountain man, Felix Papallardi.

Over the years Fat toured with a host of rock luminaries, sharing the stage with, Grand Funk Railroad, Little Richard, Bonnie and Delaney, Johnny Winter and Robin Trower, and others but unfortunately their success as a live band didn't translate into commercial success.


FaT is also an American rapper hailing from Virginia.
