Fat Digester are a music based collective that at times include dancers, rappers and visual artists. They fuse fun and social comment in a blend of Jazz, Funk, and Hip Hop.
Fat Digester have recently won the Budweiser Budvar Brewed Jazz, best UK pub jazz act, playing at the 2008 Cheltenham Jazz Festival in the UK. The winning track was Sweet Sweet, available to listen to on this site.
An incredible live band, they have proved their worth on both the alternative festival circuit and at venues across the UK and abroad. The act is dynamic, energetic and engaging, definitely not for the faint hearted! The band has released three independent singles to date. The first was Funky Situation, which received the coveted Number One spot on Radio Trent FMs Hot 50. Adios, which earned the band their first television appearance on Carlton TVs Xposure alongside jazz legend Courtney Pine, who loved the band. Their latest is Trippin Out, which featured on BBCs Children In Need04. Every record has been recorded, produced, manufactured, and distributed by the band. In the press, Fat Digester have been described as A strangely pacifist dancing utopia (City Lights) and The best thing to come out of Nottingham since Paper Lace (Nottingham Evening Post).
