Fat Albert

Fat Albert is essentially a cover band who have branched out into original music that feels right to play, coming straight from the balls and soul of Rock’n’Roll! In the past few years, notching up over 1,000 live shows, the boys have done supports, played alongside, and shared the stage with many local and international acts, such as: Coolio, Wolfmother, The Beautiful Girls, Amity Affliction, (The Tea Party’s Jeff Martin), The Screaming Jets, Choirboys, The Radiators, The Feelers, Gasoline Inc, Marshall and the Fro, Dallas Frasca, and Oh Mercy. They played corporate events for the Quicksilver Pro, and were also invited to play for Joel Parkinson’s ASP World Title Championship after-party – proving along the way, that their brand of in-your-face rock tunes can mix it in all facets of the industry.
