Fatman Swings

Bio:

.. Myspace has stopped sending us notifications when somebody leaves us a message, so apologies if we have not replied to you. The band can also be contacted via the link in Band Website to the left.

The jumpingest jivingest band in Bristol. Fatman Swings have been around longer than a student leaves milk in a fridge and have no plans of packing life in the fat lane in. With over 17 years of playing tucked firmly into our expanding belts, you can be sure of a show that will not only leave you exhausted and with ringing in your ears, but will make you want to run out into the streets shouting 'Hoorah' and things like that. Playing in and around Bristol, you'd be as mad as a frog to miss out on a chance to pop in and check us out. But we've been known to play much further afield. Oh yes. France, Holland, London and a 2 month tour of the states. (Well, maybe the last one is nonsense, but it sounds good) Check us out, or there's a very real chance that one day we'll pay you a visit. We know where you live.
