fat white family are undoubtedly the best band in london right now. and a nice bunch of people too..... a bit chaotic at maybe they do leave a trail of destruction wherever they go but with hearts of gold. here's the "event" at the windmill: https://www.facebook.com/events/164801413685557/

I think Badgers and some of the Albert staff might take exception to your description of them as having "hearts of gold".
And if they're the best band in London right now it's a right shoddy state of affairs, honestly, they're decent for what they do but hardly ground-breaking. It's all a bit Hairway to Steven.

the first time i went to see them i got there a bit late and the gig had finished and the drummer was outside in the street swinging a big pole at a bouncer and then running off down the street into the path of a police van which arrested him... i don't think he is in the band any more though. but then next time i did actually see the gig and it was wonderful. as for ground breaking.... well it is a guitar band, there isn't really much you can do to be groundbreaking, i think the only important thing is the energy and spirit in it, which these guys do have a big amounts..... they are not playing around!!
i don't know. it is definitely very twisted music though. but they seem to have a bit too much energy for that.
edit: this video kind of makes me think "yes" though:

The guitarist has been known to take exception to DJs playing something he doesn't like and takes a big bite out of the offending piece of vinyl. That's how he's got a missing tooth.
Actually he did that by banging a SM58 in his face.

then he will run the risk of losing another tooth. mind you, that sort of idiot probably loves it
they only do damage to themselves, not other people.

that was clearly a joke by twisted am!!

ha you are probably right not too.
the good thing is that the music actually lives up to all of the crazy stories. not like when you read all crazy stories about a band and then when you actually hear them it is pissy weak indie music like babyshambles for example.
SORRY to go on but there are some fine photos of them at the Albert here: http://fatwhitefamily.wordpress.com/2013/06/01/fat-white-family-at-the-prince-albert/
it looks fairly fun
