Debaucherous UK band Fat White Family were in NYC over the weekend, playing Bowery Ballroom on Saturday night (10/18). Lias Saoudi, the band’s frontman, has a reputation for shedding clothing at shows and spent most of the Bowery set fully exposed. (Seen and called, Connan.) Did you go? How was the show, apart from being in-the-raw and in-your-face? The band were supposed to do an ultra-late-night set at Baby’s All Right but it ended up not happening.

Fat White Family will be back in NYC this week for CMJ, having been added to the NME showcase at Glasslands on Wednesday (10/22) with Public Access TV, Bo Ningen, Twin Peaks, Happyness, The Wytches, and Girlpool. That’s a pretty great show and tickets are still available. You can get in with a CMJ badge too (based on capacity).

Meanwhile, Fat White Family, whose sound owes more than a little to The Fall, have a new single that tips their hat to that band’s famous frontman. You can stream “I Am Mark E Smith,” and check out a few more in flagrante (NSFW) instagrams from FWF’s Bowery show, below…
