Easy Big Fella was a ska band from Seattle, Washington. Although the term "ska band" is applied, it is applied very loosely as the band was fond of playing whatever genre they could manage which included, but was not limited to tango, polka, and celtic folk (see hidden track of Fruitcup).
While they were active for most of the 90's, their biggest success didn't occur until 1997 when their album "Eat At Joey's" was released on Moon Ska Records. Moon Ska was so impressed with their release that they selected them to go on their Moonstomp tour. This tour was where Moon Ska sponsored three of their newest acts to go on tour across the country. Easy Big Fella did a tour with Detroit's The Articles and Atlanta's The Robustos.
Their first album was very big in the underground ska community, and Moon Ska released their second album "Tasty Bits & Spicy Flicks". However, due to embezzlement within the company and a declining interest in ska music in North America, Moon Ska Records went out of business. Little has been heard of Easy Big Fella since then, but given the total lack of new releases and shows it is presumed they are no more.
