Here are 5 videos to help you get ready for the impending summer solstice.
Fat Creeps @ The Middle East Downstairs 8.2.2014
Fat Creeps bent genres and hypnotized with harmonies at Fuzzstival.
Fat Creeps @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 5.28.2014
Harmonies. Those harmonies! Fat Creeps have curiously intertwining harmonies on top of their garage/surf/fuzz/jangle inflected tunes and I love them for it.
It’s Monday. Watch a video or 522.
It’s Monday. You’re dragging from the weekend. You need to kill some time before time kills you. Have no fear. Daykamp Music TV has you covered. Why not watch a video or 522?

Fat Creeps – Fat Creeps EP (2013)

Fat Creeps EP
2013
Hey, remember this awesome Fat Creeps EP? Well, it’s now available on 10″ vinyl. Kids Like You & Me launched KLYAM Records a few months ago. Their first order of business was to press up some copies of last summer’s amazing Fat Creeps EP. Bravo, I say. It’s worth it. I’ve written about how much I love these songs in the past. Now I can hold them. Let’s look at another pretty picture of the record:
The vinyl itself is pretty sweet. I’m a fan of the 10″ format. It’s available in white or Coke bottle clear with a full color sleeve. I snagged the white. It was a really hard decision. Now the band is on hiatus and I’m sad. I should have gotten both…
Where to get it:
If vinyl ain’t your thing, I highly recommend picking up the digital bits.
More bands. More videos. It’s summertime on Daykamp Music TV.
For anyone keeping track at home, Daykamp Music TV now features more than 300 videos from over 150 bands.

So, find a nice air conditioned place to chill and check out some music.
Fat Creeps @ O’Brien’s Pub 1.24.2013
Fat Creeps are deft dealers of fuzzed out anti-bliss. I got to O’Brien’s just as they were kicking off a night presented by the folks over at Allston Pudding. The place was already packed. For good reason. Listening to Fat Creeps’ intertwining harmonies in a sweaty rock club was the perfect remedy to the bitter cold that had descended upon the city.
Fat Creeps – “Cherry” @ Precinct 8.17.2012
Here are Fat Creeps rocking “Cherry” from their new EP at Precinct this past Friday night. You can check out photos from the show right here.
Fat Creeps @ Precinct 8.17.2012
Fat Creeps buzzed their way through another set at Precinct with snappy beats and lyrical wit. Dig it.

Fat Creeps EP
2012
It’s no secret that I’ve been on a Fat Creeps bender lately. I’m hooked on the noise-pop they’re peddling. The band’s new EP makes me feel a little better about my addiction. It’s the good stuff. How good? I forget that I can’t stop listening to it even if I tried. This thing has been looping from the fiery “Secrets” through the haunting “700 Parts” from the moment I downloaded it. I dig the surf-tinged intro to the cautionary “Fooled.” I can’t get enough of the growing tension in “Horoscope.” “Cherry”, with its snappy beat and trippy pool party video, is the feel-weird hit of the summer. “Leave Her Alone” has intriguing harmonies and some perfectly placed tremolo bar action. So what if I can’t kick this habit? When it sounds this good, why would I try?
