ELLiS•DUK
Distorted and furious punk
Like many a band that has emerged from London’s vibrant music scene, Fat Dog earned their stripes at the venerable Windmill. Formed during the pandemic, the band’s DNA is characterised by a certain degree of social disgust, which is reflected in their gloriously dirty vocals and also in their songwriting. This is marked just as much by distorted rock ’n’ roll and a furious punk quality, as it is by futuristic synths and driving backbeats.
Support comes from drummer-turned-solo artist ELLiS·D, who have spent their formative years flailing their limbs across the tattered kits of the UK and Europe’s basement scene before starting out their solo project in 2022. , ELLiS·D creates something uniquely contradictory. Jangly, threadbare riffs weave their way through CAN inspired rhythmic pulses as hook-smeared repetitions and explosive, abstract vocal acrobatics flow and fight their way into psych-driven instrumentals.
