Joeyfat (often shortened colloquially to the 'fat') are an eight piece post-hardcore band from Kent, England, active from 1991 to the present.
[edit] History
Joeyfat began in the Tunbridge Wells Forum in 1991. The band spent the early 1990s releasing music with a number of independent record labels, including Fierce Panda and Love Train, and toured with Green Day, China Drum, Jawbox and Scarfo.
Only a small amount of their early work was recorded, before they went their separate ways in 1996, to pursue other projects which included The Club Giants, Unhome and Cove.
Four years later, The Unwilling Astronaut compilation album was released, a sixteen track collection of studio, live and session work spanning the years 1991 to 1996. Joeyfat reformed and played a handful of concerts to promote this album in 2000. They have since remained together, and have been playing gigs at a steady rate and releasing occasional tracks.
Their most recent, thirteen track album, You Can Change People's Lives With Your Mouth / The House of the Fat was released on CD, and limited edition vinyl, in 2003 on Unlabel. Also in July 2003, Joeyfat recorded a Peel Session for BBC Radio 1.[1]
In April 2004, a split single with Part Chimp was released on Awkward Silence Recordings, and a launch gig with both bands playing live was held in Tunbridge Wells. Joeyfat have continued to perform alongside such bands as Art Brut and Trencher.
Singer M. Edward Cole works as a journalist for BBC Radio Kent[2]
