Biography

The thing known as Joeyfat began about eighteen years ago in a place called Tunbridge Wells, in the darkest recesses of southern England.

The band spent the early ’90s releasing music with a number of independent labels including the well-respected Fierce Panda and Love Train and toured with a variety of bands including Ligament, Green Day, China Drum, Jawbox and Scarfo, leaving a name for themselves wherever they went…

All in all, only a tiny amount of their early work was ever held down to vinyl before they went their separate ways in 1996 to pursue other projects, which included The Club Giants, Unhome and Cove.

Four years later along came ‘The Unwilling Astronaut’ CD, a 16 track collection of studio, live and session work spanning the years 1991-‘96.

Joeyfat reformed and played a handful of live shows to promote this album in the summer of 2000. They have since remained together and have been playing gigs at a steady rate and releasing occasional tracks with people they like.

Their last 13 track album, entitled ‘You Can Change People’s Lives With Your Mouth / The House of the Fat’ was released on CD and limited edition vinyl in July 2003 on Unlabel.

Also in July of 2003, Joeyfat recorded a John Peel Session for BBC Radio 1 at Maida Vale studios.

In April 2004 a split single with Part Chimp was released on Awkward Silence Records and a launch gig with both bands playing live was held in Tunbridge Wells. Joeyfat have continued to play live and cause chaos alongside bands as diverse as S*M*A*S*H, Art Brut, Lords and Trencher.

    nice find! they're playing near me here in London but I can't afford the damage, quite a Fugazi vibe from what I've heard on bandcamp, I like!
