Videos
New Video! "Things That Make Me Happy" produced by Reuben Speight, AKA RES Studios and filmed by Johannes Biesta who risked life and limb making this film ..... Cheers guys!
Oh look Teddy the video by Sildy Mackadie
Formed in Totnes in 2004 from ex- Dartington graduates. Mixing elements of Punk, Pop, Surf, Eastern European Folk tunes and Ska with three piece vocal harmonies and garage band sensibilities, Fatlab write and perform songs of beauty and nonsense.
Fatlab live shows are chaotic events not to be missed, featuring dinosaur raffles, onstage fights and projections of giant insects getting it on down....

Coombeshead Studios are now looking to take on summer 2008 recording slots. If you are in a band and need a professional recording, we offer sessions at just £12.50 an hour on weekdays and £20 an hour on evenings (after 6pm) and weekends. All this paid time can be spent recording - mixing and editing can be done afterwards at no extra charge. If you wish to arrange a session, please message us and we will give you a list of available dates. Check out our top friends for examples of the recording quality, and the ’music’ section to see who we have worked with!
We also offer CD duplication at between 75p and £1.50 per CD for most requirements. This gets you a case, a print directly onto the CD face (no stickers!) and inlays. Contact us with your requirements for a quote.

Just heard that you sold about twenty-five copies of your album on Saturday night alone. That's fantastic! You see, never underestimate the power of music, especially the force that is Fatlab. World domination is just around the corner.
Another impressive show on Saturday (my best experience of you yet) and a equally impressive album. Enjoyed very much listening to it yesterday and will do so many more times in the future. Thanks for the invite to the party and will look forward to seeing you again soon.
