Music News - Fat White Family Head to New Zealand
02 June 2016 - 1 Comment
South Londoners Fat White Family have announced two New Zealand shows, playing the Kings Arms in Auckland on Friday 29th July and Bodega in Wellington on Saturday 30th July, with both shows going on sale tomorrow morning via http://www.undertheradar.co.nz/.
Fat White Family are not your usual chart-tickling troubadours. Over the last three years, they have earned a reputation as one of the most incendiary live bands on the planet. They come with a reputation built on a wild lifestyle and onstage outrageousness.
Fat White Family recently released their sophomore album Songs For Our Mothers in January 2016. It’s the follow up to the group’s debauched garage punk debut Champagne Holocaust in 2013.
The rumours about the band may all be true: they once rode a donkey into a pub, band members have gotten naked on stage, and one time they threw a pig’s head around the crowd. Frontman Lias Saoudi has in fact performed naked while rubbing butter over his torso. But that’s not the only reason they’re Britain’s most sensational young band.
While they make every taboo-breaking effort to go
beyond the extremes of what’s tasteful, Fat White Family also produce a
thrilling mix of low-fi power, blending The Fall, Throbbing Gristle, Ennio
Morricone and more into a potent brew of outrageous, must-see
rock’n’roll.
“Fat White Family clearly think rock music needs a bomb putting under it, and they’ve got a point” – The Guardian
“Fat White Family have a knack for turning questionable taste into excellent punk rock.” Rolling Stone/Hot List
“The most important rock and roll band of their generation” The Line Of Best Fit
“Undeniable genius” – Mojo

Miss June have been announced as support for Fat White Family’s show at the Kings Arms on Friday 29 July.
It’s a perfect match for the wild theatrics of the hugely anticipated headliners.
Miss June are one of Aotearoa's finest punk-rock offerings. Hailing from Auckland with just a 10 minute long explosive EP to their name, they have already toured with the likes of Shonen Knife, Die! Die! Die! and Shellac.
In the past year Miss June have gained growing recognition for their fervent live performances, take-no-shit attitude and extensive touring.
They return in 2016 set to release their new single 'Anxiety On Repeat' on split 7 inch with Dunedin band Astro Children. Exciting things are on the horizon for this young band.
