About Fat City

TH TH TH TH THAT’S ALL FOLKS!!!!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED THE BAND OVER THE YEARS AND TO ALL OF THE CURRENT & FORMER MEMBERS.

Fat City consisted of individuals who have came together to become one of the best dance-party bands in the southwest.

Rest in Peace Robert Blea- Keyboards, Sax, Flute, and clarinet player.  Robert has unfortunately passed away.

Robert Blea is the mainstay behind the Fat City band.  Robert knows the only way to have a great band is to surround yourself with GREAT MUSICIANS and GREAT PEOPLE.  Robert plays the alto, tenor and baritone saxes and even the flute in the “live shows” Fat City has put together. Robert also plays keyboard.

Rest in Peace Roland “Stone” Smith- Bass player and lead singer.  Roland has unfortunately passed away.

Roland has returned to Albuquerque from Las Vegas to funk up the ever so evolving Fat City lineup. Roland’s return has brought Fat City back to the form our fans have enjoyed throughout the last decade. We are so glad he has returned to his Fat City family.

Rest in Peace Michael Herndon, lead singer.  Michael has unfortunately passed away.

Michael Herndon comes to the Fat City Family via New York City. A solo artist in his own right, Michael brings maturity and professionalism that a rare few posess.  Michael has released two solo cd’s and is writing original material for Fat City’s new cd.  Michael sings, Jazz, Funk, R & B and even Country. With Fat City, Michael has found a great home for his vocal stylings.

Pete Cockroft rounds out the band on keyboards, vocals and trumpet.  Pete is one of those rare finds that can do anything musically and his musical maturity is unsurpassed in the New Mexico.  Pete also writes original material for Fat City and handles musical arrangements as well.

Rod “Dok” Aragon is the most solid guitar player and vocalists you will ever find anywhere.  Rod will always maintain that solid funky rhythm and smokin’ leads that keep Fat City fans screaming for more.  Rod also handles engineering duties when Fat City is in the studio.

 

Fat City with, Pete, Rod & Robert and others have continued to play music for the people who not only appreciate good music, but for everyone who enjoys good danceable party music.  Come out and listen for yourself and see if you don’t agree.
