Fat Dog

Are Black Midi, shame, Squid, and Fat Dog the Big Four bands of the guitar scene at The Windmill in London? Three of these acts have played at the OFF Festival Katowice, and now it’s time for the fourth: Fat Dog! They’ve been around since 2020, and 2024 saw the release of their critically acclaimed debut LP Woof, produced by James Ford, who’s worked with the likes of Arctic Monkeys and Fontaines D.C. DIY magazine calls it “brilliant, dark, and downright batshit crazy,” adding that it puts an end to “any conversation that originality in music is dead.” Fat Dog’s sound is a refreshing blend of electropunk, synthpop, rave, and even Klezmer music – a familiar mix to anyone who caught them last year at Glastonbury, where they played a whopping four shows. We’re looking forward to witnessing them firsthand, too, at the OFF Festival in August.
