Arrests in Algeria, family blood feuds, unreleasable drone music, permanently broken friendships, magic mushroom vomit... Fat White Family may be poised to release a brilliant new album Forgiveness Is Yours, but as he reveals to Daniel Dylan Wray, the stress of keeping the show on the road is becoming too much for Lias Saoudi. All portraits by Louise Mason
This summer, Fat White Family supported Liam Gallagher at his Knebworth enormagig. Writing for tQ, Lias Saoudi recalls the excesses of ego, self-debasement, see-through Spanx and sachets of butter required to face the bucket hat hordes.
And here it is... the Quietus' favourite albums released between January 1 and June 30, 2016, as voted for by John Doran, Luke Turner, Karl Smith, Laurie Tuffrey and Christian Eede (with some assistance from Mat Colegate and Bobby Barry)
The fictional band from The Eccentronic Research Council's last album are not only real, but they're going on tour and releasing records. Two of their animating architects, The ERC's Adrian Flanagan and Fat White Family's Lias Saoudi, sit down with Daniel Dylan Wray to discuss working with Sean Lennon, masochistic video shoots and bringing back rabies
At the point where personal hygiene ends and Kraut-garage begins lie WARMDÜSCHER, a collaboration between members of Paranoid London and Fat White Family. They tell William Dickson about their raging live sets, debut LP Khaki Tears and why they want "to include everyone in the party"
Ahead of their show at Supernormal Festival, Ben Graham meets the thirsty occult louts behind Taman Shud's mighty psychedelic racket, to learn about coping with office job boredom through transcendent volume, esoteric weirdness, crisps and booze
The Quietus staff are fully occupied moving office today, so we left the website in the capable hands of Mr Agreeable, and suggested he might like to review music from East India Youth, Factory Floor, Sunn O))) and Fat White Family
In this week's Baker's Dozen, Nadine Shah guides Jeremy Allen through favourite albums from Mariah Carey to Fat White Family, along the way discussing her friendship with Amy Winehouse and why Richard Dawson is the only man who should be allowed acoustic guitars at parties
