Get Ready Cali – Fat City Reprise is coming!
People of California: take note of that RV sputtering over the horizon. It is filled with more debauchery, shake-your-ass funk, and hair than you could imagine. The boys of Fat City Reprise (and a couple of their friends) are coming your way for a 6-week tour of your fair state. Since you’re stealing them from us in Philly, you MUST go see them. They, along with Jealousy Curve who I posted about on Monday, are one of the finest bands to come from this area.
Fat City appeared on Fox’s American Band but didn’t make it nearly as far as they should have. In fact, their antics are so amusing that they stream them via webcam (more info on their MySpace here). This group of guys has been through a lot – line-up changes, friends coming and going – but they’ve stayed strong. Not only are they talented, but they are incredibly passionate and surround themselves with an equally passionate support system. Luckily, this passion translates to their rousing stage performances. I’ve said it before, but if Fat City doesn’t get you up and dancing, then you just should have stayed home.
Take note of the Beatles influences in their new song “Love” (that’s the name, right guys?) and their exuberant cover of “Hey Bulldog.” They also play plenty of tracks from their self-titled CD, out last May. The ten tracks are tight, but make sure you’re finished with your beer by “Same Old Song” so you can fully utilize your limbs for the dancin’. Guys – you might want to consider not only going with your girlfriend, but handcuffing yourself to her during the entirety of the show. Her box is sure to be rocked like no other.
Below, of course, is their tour flyer. Head on over to their MySpace to check out their songs and leave comments!
Godspeed, Fat City soldiers. I miss you boys!!
