  • Fat White Family live at The Lexington. Second night of their two night warm-up gigs. After the obligatory introduction from the legendary orator Patrick Lyons, the boys slowly build it up with a new song, When I Leave, which feels like beautifully drowning in honey, slowly ramping up to a frenetic mid set crescendo with some old favourites, Tinfoil Deathstar, I Am Mark E Smith, Heaven on Earth. A notice to all would be frontmen/women. If you don't end up like Lias Saoudi after Heaven on Earth, you're holding back. Filmed in almost night-vision from the mosh by Lou Smith.
    1:09 - When I Leave
    7:07 - Tinfoil Deathstar
    11:16 - I Am Mark E Smith
    16:30 - Heaven On Earth

      @@crc6720 It really has been about the interplay between these two, and increasingly, musically from Nathan too, who has been growing his musical confidence and influence. If ever you have watched their early manifestations, the evolution of Lias as the hyper animated uber front-man is observable by degree.

    Yeah it always seems a band that would be fun to be onstage with...Adam is definitely a survivor and keeper !! He's doing warmduscher too now isn't he...another great band with Sauls blood in it...very talented man. Did even feel a touch of his insecure men edge in the new stuff...natural I guess that it all might start seeping together a bit seeing as they all seem to be part of each other's various projects.

    • @LouSmith
      @LouSmith  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah. He'll be first dibs to the Fats for all the upcoming touring and festivals. Its great to see Saul joining in the honours on the mic a bit more, and Nathan has been putting a lot of influence into the soundscape. Developing nicely.

      It is sublime. I saw them rehearse this where the sound was a bit more controlled, and Saul's guitar in tune from the get-go and have to say it's one of my favourites of theirs, if not my current fave.

    • @LouSmith
      @LouSmith  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah. Really glams up after a more typical swampy Fats chugging intro. 'Money' definitely one to watch. The new bass-player, Adam Brennan, who has been head-hunted from the plethora of South London bands he regularly adds his genius guitar licks to, is being primed to cover Saul's guitar parts in the ( frankly likely ) event that Saul will abscond during tours. Still gonna leave a gap ...

    • @artificiallyyours603
      @artificiallyyours603 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I read once Saul isn't mad on touring. New members fitting in good..they'll soon have as many ex members as The Fall (Prob not likely).Have seen them do some great gigs without Saul tbh but it's never quite the same without him I guess.

    • @LouSmith
      @LouSmith  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yeah. They were in intensive rehearsals ahead of these gigs. Drummer may be a relative of Saul, Alex has been there a while now and seems a fixture, and Adam Brennan is stoked to be onboard, but must be itching to get his hands round those guitar riffs.

      There is no colour version. When there is haze and red LED lights shining at you colour is tricky to control. Lighting was way too low for decent image making. I didn't see any great pics come from that night, you can see the flashes and focus aids on Lias the whole time. It was much better the previous day, but haze ...
