Biography
Fatty Sunroad is a rock band from Volda, Norway that play what they themselves call "modern carnival rock with a mix of joie de vie". Acknowledging however that life isn't always hilarious (though mostly it is), they also include melancholic songs about how to take the apple test.
You might wonder just who these odd fellows are, so here's a short introduction to the members that form this dysfunctional family called Fatty Sunroad.
Aleksander "the crabstick" Goksøyr,
vocals, rythm guitar and songwriter.
Aleksander is a former goal keeper, but during the winter of 2005 he made a save that ironically made him beyond saving. He got a rather nasty injury that the doctors call "spinal prolapse". This more or less forced Aleks to abandon football, but gave him the opportunity to give music his fulltime attention. Why the strange nickname you might ask? Well, it all has to do with him moving and looking like a crab between the goalposts combined with the fact that he had an infant sized penis up until the age of 19. Hence the nickname "crabstick" was born.
Odd Magne "Oddis"/"Mr Rehab" Brautaset.
Bass guitar
Quite possibly the coolest ex-fisherman alive. He plays the bass as part of a rehabilitation program after getting 6 tons of massive steel dropped on his hand out at sea. The sea is indeed a cruel mistress, yet he fondly tells stories about fishing and fishes, both on stage and off. He's also the band's official MacGuyver, making him very useful whenever something needs fixing, rigging or when communist spies start asking us about microfilms and locking us in the basement.
"Mammoth"
Lead guitar, Demi-God
Born without a coccyx/tailbone as the prophecy foretold, very little is known about this member of Fatty. As an IT-Consultant, he's the only band member with a decent job. The ancient scrolls also tells us that he's supposedly able to outplay Slash of guns and roses fame, with or without oversized top-hat.
Mammoth is truly a mystery wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in pastry, wrapped in a lie.
Martin "the sophisticated saxophone"
Drums
Got his nickname since he's the only member of the band that listens to jazz, the rest of the band take this as a sign of serious mental illness on his part. He's also known to be quite the ladies man, luckily he's so damn cute that the rest of the band just can't form evil, jealous thoughts about him. Nobody drums harder than the Sophisticated Saxophone from Rykkin, and if they do, they'll get a restraining order from said drumkit.
