Fat White Family. House of Vans. March 18/03/2016
Lias, clearly shattered from his Moonlandingz exploits in Texas giving his best shot at connecting with the equally bemused Dizzee Rascal fans. We, (Ed Kingpin ) got VIP passes, free merch and drink tokens, so were well happy, the boys looked and sounded great, kept it up-tempo (No Goodbye Goebbels for this lot) and a swathe of the yute were left thinking, ‘Well that was something’ Lighting was pretty rad too.

BLACK MANILA
Headlining our show and fresh back from a string of sold out European dates, Black Manila marry dancefloor killing, bass throbbing grooves to pure sweet garage rock grit. Taking a pinch of Velvet Underground, a shnifter of Black Lips and adding a pulsing, London heartbeat, their debut single Fiasco has been getting spun on NME Radio, and picked up Single of the Day from Clash Magazine. They’re on the verge of great things, catch em before they blow…

DIGNAN PORCH
With a single on Captured Tracks that moved The Fader to describe Dignan Porch as “so perfect they feel timeless”, the Tooting 5 piece sling slacker riffs over psychedelic swirls to conjure a glowing world of fuzzy tripped-out fantasy. Drowned in Sound have frothed over their ‘excellent’ debut album, Vice and Pitchfork have both tipped them for big things, they’ve another album coming this year, and it’s time you saw what all the fuss is about!

FAT WHITE FAMILY
The best live band in London, bar none, Fat Whites are pretty new, and pretty amazing. Nihilistic lyrics, raging punk energy, towering edifices of crunching rock n roll riffs and tumble weed trills of Spaghetti Western guitar, all encased in a bleakly funny humour make them utterly essential. Watching Fat Whites play is good for your soul and bad for your liver.

COLD IN BERLIN
Plying icicle shards of early 80s influenced goth-punk, Cold in Berlin have become the darlings of Artrocker magazine, picking up a 5* review for their debut album. With shades of The Cure, and the dark mystique of classic Banshees, CiB have become as renowned for their commanding live show as they have their excellent records.

A Fat White Family play at Lewisham’s Fox & Firkin pub, which boasts a great little stage with good sound and proper lighting for once. Sadly though, the venue was half empty, the boys’ efforts went under-appreciated. A good rehearsal for greater times…..maybe tonight at 93ft East.
Video of the night’s performance complete with shiny new Lousmithmedia Ident.
Also Video of New Cut Gang. ‘Run Away’
Howlin Filth and the Rent Boys play the infamous ‘Bar Tab Gig’ @ the Queen’s Head, Brixton.
Brilliant in its shambolicness, Alabama 3 front-man Larry Love pays his debt to society by trying to harness the maverick talents of Fat White Family nucleus, Saul, Lias and Nathan, in various states of dress-code at the Queen’s Head, Brixton
Last Resort Debt Collection Agency warmed up.

Champagne Holocaust aka Meat Divine
Prodigal son Lias returns from 4 1/2 months in China teaming up with Saul, to re-form, for an indeterminate period, the inherently unstable nucleus of the brilliant Champagne Holocaust, also known as Meat Divine and the Fat White Family.
Prodigal Lias
There is definitely a fissile energy and expectant atmosphere, in the room whenever these guys are on stage together, when their indisputable individual talents coalesce into a tour de force.
Like lovers reunited after an absence, their debut un-rehearsed set, filmed here in its entirety is at times tentative, and faltering as we witness them feeling each other out and remembering the arrangements, but the quality of the songs, the brooding stage presence and the momentous nature of the occasion shines through.
Lias Saoudi and Saul Adamczewski
The Holocaust is back and poised to blast itself into the future. Catch them before they fallout.
Saul Holocaust @ easycome
Easycome acoustic night returns to its spiritual home in The Ivyhouse. Here is most of Saul’s solo spot. Songs are: Beige, Garden of the Numb, These Terrible Hands, Cream of the Young, Borderline,
‘Genius’ Saul Holocaust, plays a ‘seminal’ set at Hankdog’s Easycome Acoustic night @ the Ivyhouse, Nunhead
