Fatboy is a rockabilly band that in 1995 Stockholm ( Sweden was established).
history
Fatboy started out in 1995 as a hobby band whose members wanted to make the music they love together: rockabilly and country music . After touring Europe for several years as a backing band for American musicians, the ambitions to record their own CD also grew . In 2004 the band released their debut album Steelhearted on the Look Left Recordings label .
The album "In My Bones", released in September 2008 on the Fat State label, entered the Swedish charts at number 14; and was even nominated for the Swedish Grammy for "Best Group Of The Year". This was followed in 2010 via Family Tree "Overdrive". The meanwhile third album was recorded in the studios of Mando Diao and entered the charts at number 10.
In September 2012 the label Razzia Records released the last album Love Creole .
style
Fatboy play a "relaxed mix of swinging rockabilly, rock 'n' roll and fine country". In addition to numerous slide guitars, they play music with a lot of bluesy undertones. On their album Overdrive they also experiment with jazz and Balkan beats as well as light mariachi influences, without detracting from their love for rockabilly, rock and country.
