‘Fat White Family are like nothing else, their individuality and addictive tunes sway, betray and memorize each time they show up for a live show. This band delivers like no other… Is there a live show as singular, as unsettling, as gripping?’ – Clash Music
Celebrating the release of their latest opus Forgiveness Is Yours, one of the UK’s most exciting bands, Fat White Family, will return to Australia for their first shows since 2019 in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane this December – presented by I OH YOU, MG Live, and Frontier Touring.
Released in April, fourth album Forgiveness Is Yours (Domino) is the most sophisticated, vital and flamboyant creation of the band’s career. Like everything Fat White Family have done it has pushed them to the limits not only of their creative talent, but of their health, their sanity, their very existence.
Across 11 tracks including circumcision nightmare ‘Today You Become Man’ and the electro pop ‘Work’, Fat White Family – led by frontman Lias Saoudi – are renowned for volatility. On the follow-up to 2019’s Serfs Up, the band have delivered their most accomplished record yet. In a drab monoculture of play-it-safe pop careerists, Fat White Family carry the sacred flame. A band with the power to inspire, they are vehemently punk not in sound but in spirit, and their live shows are the stuff of urban legend – fervid whispers told of raw shamanic force, unbridled ferocity, shocking acts of transgression and self-abasement.
Tickets will go on sale Wednesday 28 August (12pm local time) via frontiertouring.com/

Following tour dates across France, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and the UK including an appearance at Glastonbury, Fat White Family will head down under in December. Says Saoudi:
‘Every time we make an album, we swear to ourselves this is our last. Nothing can be worth that pain, that misery. Then a bunch of people show up at the gigs. They cheer. They approve. They offer us something resembling love. Our vanity thus restored, we quickly begin toying with the notion of yet another instalment… By purchasing tickets to see this band live, you are responsible for maintaining that delicate, elegant equilibrium… Love, passion, fear, scorn, love, passion, fear, scorn, love, passion, fear, scorn… Do the right thing then. Keep us in our place. Forever’ – Lias Saoudi
‘Sinister psychedelia performed with reckless abandon’ – Louder Than War
‘Dressed in only tights and a harness, both flesh coloured, there are misshapen bulges around his crotch that – it soon becomes apparent – are sandwiches that he pulls out, bites, spits and throws into the crowd at regular intervals… It’s an ugly, messy expulsion of masculinity and ego, and it’s completely brilliant’ – The Quietus
Right from their earliest days, Fat White Family have instinctively grasped the long-neglected power of myth in rock’n’roll, the necessity of giving people something (or nothing) to believe in. Don’t miss Fat White Family – tickets on sale Wednesday.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
