FAT DAY
Forming the modern incarnation of Fat Day was
not easy. It has taken us since
those first tender years in 1974 to really
get all the pieces to work. Sure, we played shows with all the greats,
but we never really got "our sound" until
the early to mid '90's.
For example, Doug's dad is a chemical
engineer, and pretty handy with electronics,
so he made us some electronic
stuff in the early 80's when New Wave was so big
and which we still use today in the band (its
getting pretty old and fragile).
When the Anything Family broke up in 1989 we
grabbed this guy Zeke
from them and things really started to cook!
Here is a picture of our famous 1982 show with
Deep Wound at the Rat in Boston.
The guy in the Red Suit is Jeremiah (no longer
in the band). He broke a chair over J. Mascus's (the guy from Dinosaur
Jr.) back and we were banned from the place for over fifteen years.
We played the Rat again around 1997.
