Overdrive - Music

There Are More Than One Artist/artists With The Name Fatboy 1. Fatboy Is A Swedish Alternative/ Rockabilly / Country Group. Fatboy Are Back With A New Collection Of Adorable Melodies. This Time Thomas Pareigis Hannu Kiviaho Jan Lissnils Alf Östlund Joakim Lindahl And Marcus Källström Decided To Go A Little Further Into The Mine Deeper Down Under Ground. Together They Generated Rivers Of Sweat Before They Found The Finest Rock Diamonds Of Them All. The Six-Piece Delivers The Kind Of Amazing Songs That Even Make Legendary Film Directors Like Tim Burton And Quentin Tarantino Wanting To Use The Bands Music In Their Upcoming Movies. The Distinctive Mix Of Rockabilly Country And Rock’n’roll That Has Made Fatboy So Popular Is Still Intact But Together With Producer Simon Nordberg Håkan Hellström Amanda Jenssen Kent The Band Have Broaden Their Horizon Even Further And To Categorise Their Music Is Pretty Much Impossible. – The Album Is Almost Like A Sideshow Where Every Song Has Its Own Little Tent. You Will Find The Magicians Strippers Fire-Eaters Bikers… The Songs All Live Within Their Own Little World Thomas Says And Adds That The Band Has Never Been This Creative Before.
– For The First Time We Wrote About 25 Titles That Never Made It To The Album. They Were All Good Songs But The Recording Moved In Another Direction And They Just Didn’t Fit. The Toughest Part Of The Work Might Take Place Back Home In The Dark Sweaty Mine But Most Ideas Are Born In Other Places. Like In Berlin. This Is Where The Band Did Their Last Concert Following The Release Of “Overdrive” 2010 And This Is Where Thomas And Guitarist Hannu Spent A Few Days In Order To Write New Songs. Later On The Recording Was Divided Into Two Sessions. –Simons Plan Was To Record 6-7 Songs And Then Have A Break Before Going Back Into The Studio Again. It Was A Different Way Of Working And Gave Us The Chance To Customize The Material In A New Way. A Lot Of The Songs On The Album Were Born In-Between The Studio Sessions Remembers Hannu Kiviaho. The Band Loved By Both Psychobilly-Kids Headbangers And Country’n’western-Ladies Might Have Spent A Lot Of Time In The Rehearsal Making Sure They Turn Every Song Into Gold But In The Studio Things Moved Quicker. – With A Great Band You Do Not Need To Dwell On The Songs. We Feel Very Safe In That Sense Every One Understands One Another And In The Studio Things Move Smoothly. We Did A Maximum Of Four Takes Of Each Song Says Hannu. Among The Guests On The Album You Will Find A Choir Of Men Singer Kim Richey And Several Others. The Cover Was Created By The Band-Members Themselves With A Little Help From Hannus Connections Within The World Of Movies. Behind The Camera Stood As Always The Bands Brilliant Photographer Johan Bergmark. – Recording An Album Is A Lot Of Hard Work. You Have To Give It Everything You Got In Order To Surprise Yourself And Keep It Interesting. We Really Had To Push It This Time Says Singer Thomas Pareigis Who Has His Own Thoughts On Why “Love Creole” Is Fatboys Strongest Effort To Date.
– In The End It Is All About The Songs And Both Melodies And Lyrics Are So Much Better This Time. I Also Think That Producer Simon Really Has Lifted Us As Well. All These Things Combined Make This The Best Fatboy Recording So Far. Www.Facebook.Com/gofatboy
