‘All The Fat Children’, a seemingly humorous, yet unique name reflects openness that the band believes in wholeheartedly.
They personally believe in and emphasize original music, with the occasional cover which is also recreated to produce a different version of the song. This has enabled them to showcase their ability to satisfy the audience with a refreshing sound.
Formed in 2008, they have been playing as many shows as possible, winning consistently wherever it was classified a competition and headlining many shows and corporate events, basically „sending it‟ all over India.
Genre
The band can be considered an Alternative Rock band, but they prefer the newly created term of “Fat Rock” a fitting genre encompassing the diversity of music that is reflected in its three members.
Some of the band‟s own songs include: My Favorite Heartbreaker, Crazy Girlfriend, Pimple Disco, November Forever, Somebody Else, El Shaddai (“The Almighty” in Hebrew) and many more.
