The Fat Boys

Sommaire

Biographie

A l’origine le groupe était connu sous le nom de The Disco Three. Le nom de groupe a été modifié après une dispute avec leur manager qui se serait plaint des frais exorbitants généré par la nourriture après une tournée en Europe.

Loin de l’image bien lisse des groupes du genre, The Fat Boys se sont fait remarquer par leur côté excentrique et sympathique. Un certain nombre de leurs titres évoquent les plaisirs de la fête, de la nourriture et de la boisson mais aussi les plaisirs sexuels.
