Thankyou for your service to the community and to general social enrichment
😂 thanks you're welcome. I like that.
What an amazingly shamanic, psychedelic, drug induced beginning. I think they are starting to flourish big time as an art group. I really hope to experience them live.
It certainly is quite an entrance.
just discovered FTF and especially this video (for me)... I have to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, especially to you Lou! Finally there seems to be hope for European youth, future music productions and humanity as a whole...! I had almost lost hope that anything or anyone sensible could come after the 90s...
I’ve been filming these guys since 2011, when I had a similar revelation. It’s been an increasingly tough ride for them due to internal frictions and of course macro external ones. They’ve certainly heralded a surge of great bands in their wake, after kicking that door wide open. There is a deep dive of FWF gems on this channel, most likely the deepest available. I’m glad you found it, and glad you let me know. 🙂
As an American fan who joined the train late directly after their American tour in support of serf's up, I'm deeply saddened that i will likely never see Saul perform with the Fat Whites in person. I will latch on to these videos forever Lou, this is closest I'm gonna get.
Well glad that I can bring that at least. Yeah. Sad when things get twisted and broken. Saul, Lias and Nathan are all doing solo projects, as I am sure you already know. Nothing like the sum of all parts though.
@@LouSmith Had no idea when I flew out to London for a week in 2018 that their performance at Citadel Festival would be my only opportunity to see the Fat Whites...and with Saul! Don't know what you have until it's gone and all that. Still, we'll always have the Lou Smith Archives! God's work.
@noha7575 it's an oft quoted line, and true af. I'm glad I lived through the whole spectacle, and was able to capture so many epic moments in that evolution. At least you took that flight eh? Imagine if you hadn't!
I’m usually satisfied after seeing a band live once, but not with FWF hence why I’m obsessively watching your videos tryna relive the two opportunities I’ve had to see em. Thanks Lou.
It's the next best thing! 🙏
Thanks!
Thanks Ted! That's very kind of you.
Lou Smith you are a legend, thank you so much for this and all you do
Thanks!
My favourite gig so far with your content Lou. Still plenty to go though! 😉😎
It’s a strong contender. There are many more. Thanks for the update. 😁
Excellent once again.
Thanks!
Is there a studio version of Speedball paul? Saw them for the first time at Wide Awake and after a 10 min version of them screaming (credited as 'Worms') that song really locked me down. Thanks for putting this up! 👍
I believe they're recording all the new tracks as we speak. Nothing as yet out there though.
Fantastic filming Lou as always!
Thanks Cassy
Absolute insane gig..my hearing finally recovered the day after...superb energy ..cracking venue too
Yes on all counts. What's a bit of hearing? I SAID ... Never mind.
@@LouSmith 👍PARDON
Thanks Lou!
Woo!
Cheers Lou..loving the new stuff from FWF ....got a ticket for lafayette so be great to hear it in person.
😃 maybe see you there.
I like the sound of that speedball paul.
Yeah. I reckon it's a grower!
Is this around when Saul quit "for good"? Really hope him, and Nathan, find there way back. Seems like the family is quite disjointed at this point. I just finished reading "Ten Thousand Apologies", pretty great to see you get a callout in the end references Lou. Very interesting to see the start of the new album is performed here.
The opening extended drone/noise/shamanic track was indicative of where the album was headed, and was largely Saul’s influence. I think the label were nonplussed to say the least, which emphasised the artistic differences in the band. Saul left then, and I believe didn’t want any of that material to be released, so they cobbled together the other new songs they were working on and developing a number of Nathan’s songs as well as bits of the acoustic lockdown shows. Nathan seems excited by his new project, which may or may not see him touring with the fats as well. Time will tell. I think Lias seems the more conciliatory of the two camps, so anything is possible. We’ll see how well the upcoming tour goes I suppose.
@@LouSmith You're a fascinating person Lou. Seems like you've taken it upon yourself to document the true, London, or Brixton?, scene. What is it that drives you to do this? Just love of the world that they inhabit?
Hehe. Thanks for your interest. Yes, I saw the Fats in 2011, and they reignited my passion for live music which had kickstarted in the late seventies with the punk and new wave, then early post punk bands, Clash, Stranglers, Ruts, Siouxsie, Penetration, X-ray Spex, Joy division, Undertones, Smiths, Cure ... I understood immediately that the 'family' that accreted around this band and their live performances, was culturally important as well as exciting, sexy, depraved and vital and I became obsessed with recording every appearance within the group of local venues, and then all the emergent talent from the expanding gene pool, Warmduscher, Meatraffle, Madonnatron, The 'Trashmouth' bands. There have been waves of great bands since then coming through The Windmill particularly, but a precious handful of grass roots venues dotted around the capital. So its been a dozen or so years of the most amazing live music community I believe anywhere on earth, and I am situate in a privileged position of living in the heart of it, and latterly being acknowledged as an integral part of it. For many of the youngsters coming up now, a large part of their musical education was to be had watching the bands I filmed, and sneaking into The Windmill just as soon as they could. I am blessed.
@@LouSmith That's a fascinating story man, you were really documenting history and it seems like you realized the service you could provide the world early on. Thank you for the work you do and are doing. Have you noticed a change over the last decade, for better or worse in the scene? It feels like everything in life comes and goes and comes back again, be it fashion or music or whatever.
This video is essentially the fat white family version of nirvana unplugged. Save this one!
Consider it saved.
Thanks good FwF (good name as well ) worms is mentil,Jim Morrison in gladiator days ,lol
Be interesting to see where they go next with it.
Thank you Louis 😊
Who me? As in Lou is?
Lou....space......S
Yeh and obviously thanks
@@n0z1e Woop!
Lou Smith I live in a bit of a rough place but they are playing in a rougher place in leeds armley rd (but close to the town centre but still in armley! )
project their playing .
Haha. Are you warning us in advance? I’m hoping to be at that gig. I’m from Leeds by birth, though not Armley. Think we used to go swimming at Armley baths. Are you going?
@@LouSmith The actual place isnt .Everywheres bad now. A lot of students going i presume .I got a 🎟 today. As i thought it would sell out (it probably will closer it gets)i went a few times (Armley baths) when i was 8 ish years ago before it got done out on the big rubber water shoot, had armbands .Went with my sister it was rough some times then as she got asked to give her shoes away to a big irish travelling teen which luckily she got away with keepin by stressing with a 'no'!
@@waynesilverman3048 May see you there. I’ll be up front with a camera on a stick and a hat. Thanks for the back story. I’ll wear some unattractive shoes.
@@LouSmith I remember 2004 in Birmingham -The libertines and 2nd tune in dont look b into the sun and i thought i was gonna die 4 people on top of me and my new classics with one of them off and even my sock .Bouncers didn't like u crowd surfin (only did as i could nt see the band being over 5'5 .)Not so keen on that olden day drumming saul does at the start drags on a bit but am sure ill grin and bear it a real grin
@waynesilverman3048 i guess a crowd surf is always literally a leap of faith. Can end in a variety of ways. You know Saul is no longer a band member, so you won’t have to endure the drumming. There will be a lot of new stuff. They have a new drummer too, name of Fells who’s a great friend and great drummer too. It’ll be interesting to see what they bring.
danke
Bitte
Saul’s really channeling some 2001 a space odyssey sentient ape energy init
That he is. Stanley would’ve been proud.
2 seconds in, already liked. thank you lou your the man ! and kudos to fat whites for keeping it real in these trepid times. peak intelligence and real art minus the ego
Yeah. Proper. The audience were a bit less physically demonstrative in Huddersfield which allowed me to film despite battered ribs from wide awake last week.
@@LouSmith sometimes i wonder how you even manage center stage like that in some of these shows
@@odiumimbues 🤣 you're not the only one. I cracked a couple of ribs filming them at Wide Awake festival and have got to wondering how long I can maintain this! It's really intense, but also transcendental and utterly absorbing when I'm in the flow of capturing some great moment. Takes my mind off all the other stuff.
Lou - bit of an odd question but just how tall are the lads? They look like giants here.
That is an odd question. In my experience, musicians are often shorter than their stage personae suggest. I’d say Alex and Adam Harmer are tallest at around six foot, my height. Sam and Nathan the shortest and the others probably around average heights.
I couldn’t make out what Lias was saying during Worms, does anyone have all the dialogue?
Not I. Anyone?
Adams guitar on Goebel’s is so chaotically beautiful
It’s true. Minimalist too.
I have to confess I am quite baffled by this band. They offer more than they give.
Baffled we can work with!
WTF I LIVE IN HUDDERSFIELD WOW I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THEY PLAYED HERE
You missed them? Must not have been paying attention!
@@LouSmith now following everything going on here, hope they come back again
Good luck!
If it helps, warmduscher are there next Thursday if you need a fat white fix!
@@julianjones6474 Yeah, saw the poster for that gig when we were there.
white lines....
Go a long way
