Fat White Family @ Baby’s All Right, 12/13/2014
Fat White Family

Fat White Family, who left the UK and are currently living in Brooklyn, played the first of their Baby’s All Right residencies on Saturday (12/13). It was a tame show, at least by FWF standards, with everyone keeping their pants on — though some guy came on stage during “Touch the Leather” in a floor-length leather jacket who dropped trou for just second. Of course a tame FWF show is still wilder than what most bands play, with frontman Lias in and on top of the crowd at various points. These guys are quite good at going to the edge of falling apart without ever toppling over. While some of the crowd seemed only to be there for shenanigans (the way people were for Brian Jonestown Massacre after DiG!), the Fat Whites were there to play and sounded great apart from a couple technical difficulties. They played most the songs I wanted to hear, including the aforementioned “Touch the Leather,” “Is It Raining in Your Mouth,” “Cream of the Young” and brand-new single “I Am Mark E. Smith” (out this week).

Opening the show were two Brooklyn bands, garage punks Surfbort and jangly powerpop band EZTV. Pictures from the whole night are in this post. Fat White Family are back at Baby’s All Right this Saturday (12/20) with PC Worship (who just wrapped up a tour with Parquet Courts), Degreaser, and Sunflower Bean. Tickets are still available.
