It's the BRASS! I like complex instrumentals, I did a second listen to their music samples, and decided pretty quickly to go see "More Fatter" do a show at Kung Fu Necktie a couple weeks ago. Part of the intrigue was the brass in the mix, which is unusual for a rock band.
So brass did show up at the Kung Fu show, but not right away. Songs towards the beginning featured the traditional guitars, keys, and drums. Brass came into the lineup later when some of the band members switched over from the guitars. More Fatter is versatile in their instrumentation. Pic above shows them with the brass.
A capella? Well, that was a surprise! At the show I did like the instrumentals as much as I thought I would, and I was very surprised to see the band do some a capella work as well, which I also liked. The band is versatile in a number of styles and I almost felt like each song was a new beginning, what style would it be. I also felt like there were new beginnings inside some of the songs; some formal song structures thrown to the wind. There were bumps in the song structures that would wind up taking us down new paths.
Here the band decides "what to do" when you "quit the masking". This is their video, "Weirdo" :::
More Fatter is "international", its members come from Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Paris. While only four members appear in the "Weirdo" video, the band has five members and all five showed up at that great show at Kung Fu.
The band's music ranges from the playful, such as in "Weirdo" above, to the more serious, as in their song "Infinity". A couple lines from "Infinity" have stuck in my mind. "How many ways are there to love someone? The answer is 'Infinity'."
You should try to see them on their next tour. To keep up-to-date with the band, here is a click to their Facebook page ::: More Fatter on Facebook (CLICK HERE)
