2nd EP Rock ‘N’ ROFFA
out now!
Theo Stepper – Muziscene
De vier nummers laten goed op elkaar ingespeelde muzikanten horen, die elkander zoveel mogelijk de ruimte geven zonder dat aan scherpte of kracht wordt ingeboet. Want, oh oh, wat klink het strak! De bassist en de drummer zorgen voor een solide muur waar de overige muzikanten genoeglijk tegenaan kunnen leunen. Energieke, soms funky (Thirsty) rock, met catchy hooks, stevige riffs, nu en dan subtiele maar even vaak vrijpostige gitaarsolo’s en onweerstaanbare refreinen. Rock ‘n’ Roffa staat bol van positieve energie. Het geluid is groots, vuig en rondborstig.
El Fatso sounds like a hot and messy one night stand between Mr. Stonerrock and Ms. Pop.
Falsetto vocals, crooked guitars and sweaty grooves form the ingredients for their signature sound, which they call ”Rock ‘n’ Roffa”. Their songs demand you to move that ol’ body of yours around, in whatever way possible and absolutely own it while doing so. After it!

Anna Friele – Nobel Award
”El Fatso immediately started with a wonderfully thick (or Fatso) sound that acutely ‘nodded’ the heads in the audience. It is not surprising that they won the audience award earlier at the Eendracht Festival and their first single was number 1 on Reddit for a while. But not only the hard dirty music, also the stage presence of the gentlemen was infectious; from the matching Hawaii shirts to the smooth head movements of the bass guitarist and the drummer who managed to unleash his own dreadlocks mid-set. A wonderful performance that created a great vibe.”

“After a lot of funny promotion on social media, El Fatso gave a sold-out release party in Roodkapje, Rotterdam. El Fatso makes cleverly put together rock music. Rough, mysterious, sexy yet so catchy! You can easily keep moving throughout the set. The mainly low vocals of Tom Schreuder regularly have something dark. For a Dutchman, his accent sounds very American. A little later in the set, Juriaan van der Graaf makes great use of his cowbell for ‘Thirsty’. During ‘King Louie’ El Fatso gets more and more love and energy from the exuberant audience: a moshpit and attempted crowd surfing. El Fatso can be absolutely proud of their release party.”
