Like many a band that has recently emerged from London’s vibrant music scene, Fat Dog have earned their stripes at the venerable Windmill, among other places. Formed during the pandemic, the band’s DNA is characterised by a certain degree of social disgust, which is reflected not only in their gloriously dirty vocals, but also in their songwriting.
This songwriting is marked just as much by distorted rock’n’roll and a furious punk quality as it is by futuristic synths and driving backbeats. Joe, Morgan, Chris, Johnny, and Ben face their fans directly, eye to eye – instead of thumb to screen – and have been a real insider tip in the British cultural metropolis since last year.
The energy with which the quintet blow up small halls and large venues alike is no longer easy to find these days. So if you want to experience punk on a new level, don’t hesitate to give this band an hour of your time.
Venue Details
After facing a devastating closure during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic under the ownership of a national company, the previous management of the Polar Bear worked to resurrect the venue as swiftly as possible. With an overwhelming outpour of support from the resilient community of Hull, ‘Polar Bear Music Club’ made a triumphant return in 2021, this time as a Community Interest Company (CIC). In collaboration with their friends from ‘The Sesh,’ Polar Bear is dedicated to offering free entry nights every Tuesday, featuring a diverse line-up of local, national, and international musicians. Additionally, the venue hosts weekly free entry club nights, along with ticketed gigs and live performances, catering to a wide range of musical tastes and preferences for the people of Hull.
