FAT diesel is the name of a dubious band, formed in 1999 by 3 chaps named Lee "82" (that's me), Dave "the rave", and Chris, "Schlong" as he's known. We founder members went to the same rubbish school, where we used to throw pineapples at one another, hoping to induce tropical diseases. Then one day we decided to form a sort of a punk metal band, and the FAT diesel dream was realised. Originally, I was the drummer, Chris was the vocalist and Dave played a bass. Dave is still a bassist, and Chris remains a vocalist, but I have elevated to lead vocalist (that envolves shouting amusing things). Chris now joins Dave on bass - no really - that's two bassists and a vocalist. Try to imagine what that sounds like (the "vocalist", by the way, happens to be less than proficient). Well anyway, over the years we've had some great times recording our comedy songs, and enlisted the help of vocalist BIG DAN, and guitarist Jonny (the anode)/Nathan. We never took ourselves too seriously (probably just as well), when we played songs such as: When?, Ripon is gay, the queen is a c, DOWNON, forskinskin, indie music is sh*te and tender end, to name but a few

The Fd dream, however, like all good things, couldn't last. In late 2000, Chris trotted off to Nottingham, and I trotted even further to Suffolk. Sorry that didn't mean anything because I never said where we started out - that's Yorkshire. Naturally, being over 200 miles apart, we noticed a reduction in the amount of songs recorded. But don't commit suicide just yet! Despite this, we recorded more material at Christmas 2000 and easter 2001, and are looking to bring out our first albumn - "ON THE OFFENSIVE".
