Fat White Family

Work, out now, with video by C C Wade. Forgiveness Is Yours, out this Friday.

This tune and lyrics were written by Nathan Saoudi, with a little help from the indomitable Jess Winter. It became a bit of a nightmare in production, like, serious graft.

Anyway, it’s one of Brian Destiny’s best. The idea for the video came from watching Rocky IV on the telly at our family xmas. Nothing brings people together quite like Rock IV. The way Stallone single handedly brings down the Soviet Union. We can all learn something from that. I enjoyed it so much that I started binging on Rocky films in January. Most of the other ones are shit, but there’s a scene in the third one - Rock III - where Rock has to accept he’s lost it, grown decadent, delusional, flaccid...Apollo Creed (RIP) has to drag his arse to LA to train him back up the old way, the hard way, the way it USED to be…Between both of these lessons, one might learn everything one needs to about life, about ambition, about success being nothing more than failure in drag...

C C Wade was the obvious choice to direct this homage. They are truth. They are two people who allow whatever they’re working on to absorb them entirely. There is no limit at Haus C C Wade. No ceiling. No basement. No ledge. All in.
