Influences
The list is long and distinguished. And so is my johnson.
But if you really want to know - Michael Jackson, Pantera, Rage Against The Machine, Luke Vibert, James Brown, and baps.
Sounds Like
Rage Against the Machine bumming Daft Punk and vice versa.
Thank you to everyone who came down and made it such a special night. Bless.
Above: We play at Cafe 1001 once a month on a random Wednesday. It's FREE to get in, and is always a good hang. We use this residency to try out new piss, do some jamming, as well as exercise the usual madness. We're also playing there on New Year's Eve. Booka! Booka!

SEEN EP
We recorded a version of Seen at Rockfield studios, and it's on this record - so buy it! You can download individual mp3s from Dealmaker Records, iTunes, and places like that. And you can get it on 12" vinyl, which is sexual.
“The sound created by the fusion of the guitars, drums and turntables must surely be one of the most diverse being produced by any artist in any genre in British music.” (Bandidge.com)
Red - Seen 12"
RADIO 1 FUN
Here's a version of Seen we recorded at the BBC's Maida Vale studios...
Full Fat is a four piece group that uses drums, guitar, synths and a turntable as the lead instrument (played by Red). Initially the band was formed to recreate some of Red’s songs, but now the band has taken on its own life and sound.
The band has been compared to Rage Against the Machine, The Bays, and Daft Punk, and are known for their incendiary live show, great musicianship, innovative song writing, unprecedented turntablism, as well as being the highlight of most nights!
Sonically, the band cohesively moulds rock, electro, hip hop and metal into an awesome new sound, and therefore has a broad crossover appeal. This is evident in the variety of artists that they have shared the stage with, including Kora (NZ), Jack Penate, Cash Money, The Mitchel Brothers, Joe Driscol, Dwight Trible, and many more.

Videocrash 3! with Hexstatic (live AV) vs The Nextmen (live AV) plus The Anomolies + DJ Cheeba (AV) + more tbc 8 - 3 Sat 6th June '09 £15 adv www.ticketweb.co.uk
For the third installment of the now legendary Videocrash, London's biggest and best dedicated Audio-Visual event, we have lined up a truly ground-breaking affair, with the undeniable kings Hexstatic and new challengers The Nextmen as well as some of the finest up-and coming talent in this, the coolest up-and-coming night-club experience. Having absolutley killed it at the previous 2 Videocrash nights Hexstatic was an obvious choice to invite back to Koko, and in looking for an act to match up to them The Nextmen were a clear option, with their live showcase and excellent turntable skills. To make it all that bit more special, and to fit in with the theme of the occasion, Hexstatic will be providing a visual accompaniment to The Nextmen's set! Awesome. Throw into the mix the fruits of our quest into the world of AV to find some of the hottest new talent in the field, and the result is an evening that will blow Koko's bass-bins and your minds with a kaleidescopic mix of sounds and sights.

Yeh, I'd have done the same thing ;) any secret cafe1001's you've not mentioned yet?
and while I'm at it, what do I have to do to get a copy of That Ass? so I can replace the one I'm currently listening to, which I had to actually record in real time from your myspace player stream. How dare you make me infringe your copyright at such low resolution?!
Your Water Rats gig is exactly on the day of my Birthday, and I just booked flights a few days ago to be in Amsterdam then 'cause nothing seemed to be happening over here!
Sorry we can't make the Koko gig guy's... Would love another swig of something full fat but we're gonna have to settle for a big bird sitting on our faces at a birthday party we're playing that night!
And you guys it was really nice to meet you and hear your amazing music, still cant get over the freeze, pure genius! Will try catch up sometime soon for sure. peace .klezma villanova.
Thanks to everyone who played a part in another successful Bands on the Run tour. I have uploaded some pictures and videos from the weekend to my page.
