===================================
8fatfat8 is body music, born from the inspiration house music imparts: you can reach a deeper part of yourself by physically giving yourself over to the music that you love. The Music is subtle, cinematic, and refreshingly understated. Deep grooves and soaring strings, with soulful vocals gently setting the stage for the music to do the speaking.
8fatfat8 is named after a bar in Honolulu Hawaii. Home state of founder Frank "Opah" Orrall.
Opah relocated to Chicago in 1992 to be close to the music he loved - House music.
Joining forces with vocalist Charlette "Truffle" Wortham, 8fatfat8 was born.
Under the encouragement of Obi Nwazota of the Gaijin Hotel, Opah began a weekly live p.a. residence in the lounge. The Gaijin gave 8fatfat8 the forum to do whatever they felt musically. Their music reflects that freedom. This is Soul music. Body music. Meditative music.
8fatfat8 further developed it's sound during a noted residency at Arman Rizavi's Mad Bar & at various clubs around Chicago ( Le Passage, Slick's Lounge, Karma, Red no. Five, Smart Bar, Funky Buddha, Metro, and Zentra) & has earned respect from the Chicago house community.
Live, 8fatfat8 is rooted in the live p.a. tradition; combining MPC driven beatz, bass and keys, vocals, live percussion and a host of guest musicians including Alison Chesly (cello) and El John (percussion) & Jacqueline Wilson (vocals).
8fatfat8 has released 12"s for Afterhours, Plate.Tec.Tonic Recordings, and Music 101.
8fatfat8 has performed live in S.F., Chicago, Hawaii, New Orleans, Austin, Bordeaux (France), Verona (Italy), Miami (wmc), and opened for Groove Armada at Fabric in London. 8fatfat8 members Frank Orrall and El John also hold down the live percussion duties for Thievery Corporation on tour. Frank Orrall provides the electronic production for Kahil El'Zabar's "JUBA Collective". Most members of 8fatfat8 also perform with Poi Dog Pondering.
