The region has become such a mecca for up-and-coming bands that it’s almost a cliche: throw a rock in any direction from Brixton tube station, odds are you’ll hit a bassist from some post-punk outfit or another. It might’ve been in this over-filled petri dish that Fat Dog first spawned, but their sound – loud, kinetic and high-octane, with overtones of techno and electronica – is one that has already outgrown the postcode.
