About

Fat White Family are an English rock band, formed in 2011 in Peckham, South London. Frontman Lias Saoudi has remained the project's sole constant member across multiple line-up changes. The band's current line-up also includes Lias's brother and fellow founding member Nathan Saoudi (keyboards), Adam J Harmer (guitar), Adam Brennan (guitar), Alex White (keyboards, saxophone, percussion), Victor Jakeman (bass, keyboards) and Guilherme Fells (drums). Guitarist Saul Adamczewski was an on-again-off-again member of the band for much of its career.

Known for their energetic live performances, chaotic personal lives and drug use, the band has released four studio albums: Champagne Holocaust (2013), Songs for Our Mothers (2016), Serfs Up! (2019) and Forgiveness Is Yours (2024).
In 2022, Lias Saoudi and writer Adelle Stripe co-wrote the autobiographical book, Ten Thousand Apologies: Fat White Family and the Miracle of Failure, which chronicled the band's turbulent history. The band has spawned several side projects and spin-off bands, including the Moonlandingz, Warmduscher, Decius and Insecure Men.
