Fat White Family:
Pictures For Our Mothers
The magazine of the photo-essay
September/October 2022 issue
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”

A unique limited-edition book that chronicles the rebellious lives of UK punk band
Fat White Family between 2015 and 2018.
The last of a dying breed, Fat White Family are a rock’n’roll group so loud, vulgar
and iconoclastic they cannot be ignored. They’ve soiled the stages of
Glastonbury and sullied the airwaves of the late David Letterman Show. They’ve
played dumps, dives and shitholes across the globe, and they’ve done it with
searing wit, putrescent style and the fatalistic passion of heretic soldiers on a
suicide mission. Loved and loathed since 2011, the band are still going strong
touring today and are dedicated to creative freedom and creating chaos wherever
they go.
The photographs include mega fan Lady Gaga attending a Fat White Family concert in Le Poisson Rouge in New York
City, where Lady Gaga and the band had an impromptu song-writing session and sang a duet about sex-trafficking.
Other tales include Cynthia ‘Plaster Caster’ making a penis mould of band member Lias Saoudi, the band getting lost
in Montana, being holed up in a sleazy motel in Wyoming and performing gigs in New York, London and beyond.
