"I used to play with this group between about 91 and 94. They released three recordings, all of which I appear on, but I still have to get a copy of the last one. The Fat Thing originated in Ballarat and then moved on to do well around the alternative scene in Melbourne, with tours to Adelaide and Sydney. Always lots of fun and visually very over the top (My sister used to shop for dresses so I could wear them with these guys.)"
