Fat White Family are an English rock band formed in 2011 in Peckham, South London, with frontman Lias Saoudi as the sole constant member through numerous line-up changes. Blending post-punk, experimental rock and psychedelia with confrontational live performances, they built a devoted cult following across four studio albums - from Champagne Holocaust (2013) to Forgiveness Is Yours (2024). In 2022, Saoudi co-wrote the autobiographical book Ten Thousand Apologies with writer Adelle Stripe, shortlisted for the 2023 Penderyn Music Book Prize.
Fat White Family released the live album Konk If You're Lonely on 12 December 2025 via Domino, recorded in one day at Konk Studios in London.
The band announced the live album with the single 'Hits Hits Hits', accompanied by studio material.
Fat White Family closed out 2024 with three sold-out 'Counter-Vortex 360°' shows at the Colour Factory in Hackney Wick, London.
The fourth studio album Forgiveness Is Yours was released on 26 April 2024 via Domino and reached number four on the British Independent Albums Chart.
The band performed as part of the Forgiveness Is Yours tour in, among other places, Amsterdam (Tolhuistuin) and Nijmegen (Doornroosje).
