Ten Thousand Apologies : Fat White Family and the Miracle of Failure
Fat White Family - Book - by Adelle Stripe and Lias Saoudi
(2022)
From
the mountains of Algeria to the squats of South London via sectarian
Northern Ireland, Ten Thousand Apologies is the sordid and thrilling
story of the country's most notorious cult band, Fat White Family. Loved
and loathed in equal measure since their formation in 2011, the
relentlessly provocative, stunningly dysfunctional "drug band with a
rock problem" have dedicated themselves to constant chaos and total
creative freedom at all costs.
Like
a tragicomic penny dreadful dreamed up by a mutant hybrid of Jean
Genet, the Dadaists and Mark E. Smith, the Fat Whites' story is a
frequently jaw-dropping epic of creative insurrection, narcotic excess,
mental illness, wanderlust, self-sabotage, fractured masculinity, and
the ruthless pursuit of absolute art. Co-written with lucidity and
humour by singer Lias Saoudi and acclaimed author Adelle Stripe, Ten
Thousand Apologies is that rare thing: a music book that barely features
any music, a biography as literary as any novel, and a confessional
that does not seek forgiveness.
This
is the definitive account of Fat White Family's disgraceful and radiant
jihad - a depraved, romantic and furious gesture of refusal to a
sanitised era.
