Many have attempted to describe Phoenix, Arizona’s Fatigo. Of the band: oddball, clever, strange, oddball auteur, absurdist, irrepressible, and, finally, supremely oddball. Of the music: lo-fi, Latin, lounge, pop, folky, jazzy, cumbia, tejano, norteño, mariachi, bossa nova, and not-quite-rock/not-quite-ordinary………… to name a few.
“ My dad would always have music going in the house”,Montoya (singer) explains…whether we were pulling weeds or having a first communion party..it was always a mixture of Beatles, Mariachi Vargas, Trio Los Panchos , and Motown. …of course I was always trying to sneak my Depeche Mode cassettes in there….yeah so I’d have to say my dad is my biggest influence.”
From subterranean dive bars in the Downtown Phoenix Arts district, to larger venues throughout the Valley of the Sun and beyond, Fatigo brings a multicultural concoction to the table . Smell it, drink it, love it, pass it on.
Fatigo has recorded their second album "Menso"! It is available at any one of their shows. They are also working on new songs and will be posting some rough mixes to myspace for comments. The album MENSO is NOW available on their label's website:727 RECORDS In the meantime check out one of their shows or read a review...
Underwater Getdown decided to throw us a benefit out of the goodness of their hearts, and we love them for that (actually, we love them anyway, but that is beside the point). Support community media, support local music, and have a kickin' good time all at once for a measly 5 bucks!
Hello my lovelies! It would be an honor to have you guys come out and celebrate our wedding on July 4th. Here's the deal: My sister has an apartment available for Fatigo and Friends to stay in that weekend for free!!! The apartment is right in the heart of the cool part of town, too. Let me know if you guys are interested. Also, I'll throw in some clean towels if De La Cruz comes (he'll need them). I miss you guys and hope you can make it out-- and bring your lovely wife this time!
Maybe snagging some great food & drink discounts at Carly's Bistro and Lost Leaf?
Maybe donating money to a great local organization?
Guess what? You can do ALL 3 simultaneously at Give A Care! This month's show features World Class Thugs, Coats & Villa, Dakota Jeane and Jake Greider and benefits Free Arts of Arizona. Come help us out!
