Fatmandrool

Webster's describes Fatmandrool as:

Fatmandrool (fat man drool) n.
1. The best or richest part of a member of the genus Homo, characterized by erect posture and an opposable thumb; able to be envious, desirous, eager for, or extremely happy about existence (or something).

2. Three crazed maniacs who love to play Rock n Roll music.

Fatmandrool is a 3 piece rock, indie, metal, punk, country, hip hop, bluegrass, light jazz band composed of:

Cletus Clede
(bass/vocals/ukelele/liquor/outspokenness/good luck)

Hollywood Hank Doral
(drums/electronic devices/evil genius-like activities/destruction)

Cpt. Crimsquad
(guitar/art/(in)sanity/organization/confusion/rockin' jams)

Our three unlikely heroes meet in an improbable way...
The legend of Fatmandrool was born years ago when Cletus and Crim's creativity was combined with a borrowed 4-track cassette recorder. It all began innocently enough...they hooked up their equipment, wrote a few songs, programmed some drums and commenced to rock out! The next thing they knew, they had tweaked some levels, turned a few knobs, and amassed a huge collection of ditties and jubilees good enough to not only amuse themselves...but also the public at large.

It was in this period of writing and recording that Cletus and Crim began to feel that something was missing, after 2 years of playing acoustic and using a drum machine to communicate their ideas, it was time for a change. Luckily they were fortunate enough to meet a crazed 80's metal god, named Hank Doral, who was very interested in joining forces to play drums and write new material with Fatmandrool. The change ended up being just what they needed to easily take their sound public, thus expanding their ability to experiment during live shows and truly take the music to new places.

The band is but a result of this diverse and creative triangulation at work, with each part flowing seamlessly, one instrument combines with the next to create some of the best and most original music heard in years.

Feeling ostracized by today's popular music, they fight back by playing what they feel, often blending several styles to create something new, offering their fans a truly original musical experience. With their unique stage presence, home-made electronics, airtight playing, and offbeat sense of humor...Fatmandrool are guaranteed to entertain even the lamest of asses.

Recently completed is their debut full length CD independently released March 25th, 2007 titled; Fatmandrool, 'The Alphanut'. They're taking their music to the public by any means necessary, playing as many shows as they can cram into their schedule, and making new fans at every stop along the way. So keep an eye out for a show near your town, and be sure to make it out, because every live Fatmandrool show is celebration of the rock'n'roll lifestyle. That's what it's all about....keeping the rock alive. And it seems that the endless practices, bar gigs, and benefit shows are finally paying off, paving the way for our heroes to take their rightful place as the true musical saviors that they are!
