The Maiden Post


Finally, after 5 years, Fatskunks will be releasing their debut EP. It has been eventful. It has been pure blood, sweat and tears getting to where we are now. This recording has been made with much love for the music we play and we hope you, the audience, the listeners, the followers, the friends, our families and the many, many people we have met along the way, will listen and cherish every word, every chord and every melody we play, as much as we'll always do.

There will be more in the near future. With the emergence of this EP, we're looking at releasing another one towards the end of the year, this time in Malay for all our loyal Anugerah Band followers.


Tracklist for Revolutionistas.
  1. Sometimes. (Written 4 years ago with former member El Diablo. A mellow introduction oozing out into a haunting choral melody. It ends happily though, as does all fiction we sometimes would like to presume)
  2. Skin. (Not for the self-assuming. Groovy, thumping disguise narrating the sense of touch. Climaxes in a haphazard spray of lyrical poetry)
  3. Havana Stoner. (Intoxicated. The musings of the inanimate musician. Recommended with a shot of rum, or maybe a tropical drink. The ones with tiny umbrellas)
  4. Esta Noche El Amore. (Tonight, the love. Almost vulgar, almost true and most uniquely the stuff most wet dreams are made of)
  5. Revolutionista. (Fiery and rebellious back-ups provided by FatCat and LanD of Glitched Roots Project. At times, ruling bodies need to be told and reminded)
There are some names which we want to "give mad props" to.
Mr Andry from Greendoor Studios for his patience, guidance and moral support. He saw us through the whole recording process and ensured the finest from all of us. Respect!

Rosdi (El Mago), his keyboards set the sound for most of the songs in this EP. Mega talent!

Elffie (El Diablo), one of the original members of Fatskunks, the drummer who set the beats for most of the songs here. His own personal baby of a song, Sometimes. This one's for you, dude.

To our wives and girlfriends, Juls, Jas, Raini, Imah, Shaidah, Lina and all of our close friends and family. We LOVE you all for being there for us and for lending a hand or two over the years. :)

Just a little teaser for the eager few. :)
