Fat White Family share "Whitest Boy On The Beach" (Live at Konk Studios)

Konk If You’re Lonely: Fat White Family live at Konk Studios is the latest instalment in the Domino Documents series, an album featuring Fat White Family’s most incendiary moments recorded live in one day at London’s Konk Studios. The Fat White Family cast has forever been a revolving door of interesting and lively characters, each iteration brilliant in its own right, but they have never sounded better than on the 13 career-spanning tracks that make up Konk If You're Lonely.

Fresh off the back of the trio of triumphant “Counter-Vortex 360°” shows at London’s Colour Factory in December 2024, the band decamped to Konk Studios to get the set down for posterity’s sake. What emerges is a document of a band at the top of their game, oozing swagger and controlled abandon. Among the baker’s dozen of jewels assembled here are the bewildering, anarchic crescendo to ‘Hits Hits Hits’; the discordant ferocity of ‘I Am Mark E Smith’; the twitchy squawks of ‘Polygamy Is Only For The Chief’; and a previously unreleased track in the form of ‘Parisian Heatwave’.

The line-up that recorded in Konk Studios on 17th December 2024 was:

Lias Saoudi: vocals & gong

Adam Brennan: guitar & backing vocals

Guilhermes Poyares: drums

Victor Jakeman: bass & bass synth

Adam Harmer: guitar & backing vocals

Alex White: baritone sax, organ, Juno synth, Casio synth, woodblock, flute & backing vocals
