Fat Tulips were an indie pop band from nottingham, england who released one album, on the Vinyl Japan label, and over 10 singles on the band’s own Heaven Records and others.
Formed in the late ’80s in Peterborough by one Mark D., the band’s first release was a flexi disc called You Opened Up My Eyes and featured Sarah C. on vocals. Sarah quickly left the band, supposedly to pursue a career designing crop circles in Peru.
Mark then recruited new members consisting of Katie Keen on vocals, cat lover Paul Huckerby on bass, scottish siren Sheggi Clarkson-Gaffin on guitar and floppy-haired, pig van driver Matthew Johnson on drums.
Soon after the release of their John Peel played single Where’s Clare Grogan Now, Katie left the band and Sheggi became the new singer.
Subsequent releases, including the EP Four Songs for Simon, Ferensway EP and The Tulip Explodes, led to a multi-pound recording contract with the fab, london based Vinyl Japan label, home and future home of BMX Bandits, the Mccluskey Bros, and Thee Headcoats.
The first of their Vinyl Japan output was an EP entitled Nostalgia and was recorded by Ken McPherson at his studio in burton-on-trent. A tour of germany supporting Throw That Beat In The Garbagecan soon followed.
The band’s debut album, Starfish, also recorded by Ken McPherson, came out in 1994 and was followed by two more singles, New Spring Rites for Sarah and Driving Me Wild before the band called it a day.

What an excellent and underrated band! Doube Decker Bus has got to be one of my most played songs so far this year...it's good to see old indie bands gaining a fan base over My Space too.
