Fat White Family Updated North American Tour Dates w/ Gateway Drugs, Dilly Dally

Updated Fat White Family North American tour dates
(with Gateway Drugs, Dilly Dally)
 

'Songs For Our Mothers' out now via Without Consent/Fat Possum Records

 

"A truly bracing performance." The Independent (live revew)

 

“Studiously crafted and meticulously executed from start to finish, if any doubts remained as to whether Fat White Family were the most important rock and roll band of their generation, this should put a lid on it once and for all. For Songs for Our Mothers is of a rare breed of record that's both of its time yet timeless in nature.. “ Drowned In Sound

 

“What makes them special is that it’s organic. Their music is an extension of themselves, pure id, and that’s what makes them so enthralling. This is the sound of a death-or-glory headlong charge.” Line Of Best Fit

 

"There's a lot to be said for saying the wrong thing." The Quietus/lead review

 

“Fat White Family never sought to embrace high art. High art thrust itself upon them.” NY Observer

 

”…off-kilter, anthemic passages.” Autre

“Any album that makes you worry about yourself is worth exploring. It’s even better if it’s excruciatingly cool in the process. Fat White Family have built a nonstop, sit-down kind of album that grips you all the way through its strangely elegant finish. But where Songs For Our Mothers really triumphs is in its ability to take you somewhere totally new – even if you’d prefer not to know where that is.” Pancakes And Whiskey

 

“Affliction and addiction shape their twisted worldview, and while their musical translation of this mindset—infusing the darkly-shaded psychedelia of Velvet Underground with the cheap electronic throb of Suicide— is anything but pretty on the ears, the group’s knotted noise feels inviting.” Pitchfork

 

“…a brilliant, dirty, miserable, provocative, dirge of an album” Louder Than War

 

"eye-curdling electronic-subverting monsters that evolve into persistent, inescapable jams." Rolling Stone Australia

 

“…the band's most intricate and best recordings yet. It’s as if they’re goading, ‘Sure, criticise us, but just listen to these choruses!’ NME
