2008 Album Recordings Finished
|
|
I
know its been a while since the last news bulletin and
things have been a bit quiet for the punk trio lately
by only playing on average once a month but we have
been very busy finishing all the recording, mixing and
mastering for the as yet untitled forthcoming album.
We are also proud to announce that the album will feature
a full live gig recorded at Junktion7, which sounds
awesome thanks to Zach and Loz at the infamous Mesters
Studios. Work has just begun on the artwork and
will be ready for release very soon. Until then keep
checking the website for some upcoming live shows.

After
not so much of a case of crossed wires more like a tangled
web of confusion, but the Junktion 7 FREE NYE
Party is back on!!!. We couldn't be happier at being
able to punk the new year in at Nottingham's Premier
Venue, so once again, we very much hope to see you there,
dressed up to the eyeballs in whatever you fancy wearing
(or not wearing of course). Goto www.junktion7.co.uk

2007 - New Year's Eve Party CANCELLED!!!

For
some reason unknown to us, Junktion 7 have decided

year in, but its not to be. We are still very busy organising
some more live dates, but nothing confirmed yet, check

Xmas.

2007 - We are still alive

Its

you know, that we are still alive and have just been
confirmed on this years Junktion 7 New Years Eve
Party, and best of all its FREE to get in. So there
is no excuse not to come down now that you have more
beer money to spend, plus we will be selling T-shirts,

|
|
Sheriff
FatMan are through to the semi-finals of Junktion
7's Battle of the Bands, and we are extremely happy
that so many of our loyal fans showed up to support
us on the night and helped us to progress. There was
only one downside to our victory and that was that our
good friends Hellequin went out of the competition
even after a rocking set, along with The Flying Aces
and Era. We hope to see you all again in
the semis. There are some pics of the night up in the

2007 - First London show eventful
|
|
Sheriff
FatMan played their first London show and the day
was eventful to say the least. First of all before we
even left, we were anxiously waiting for the new bass
amp, which finally arrived an hour an half before we
were due to leave Nottingham. The journey down there
was fine until we had to load the gear into the club.
We were parked on double yellows when a car came around
the corner and smacked right into us, and then amist
the chaos a traffic warden came over hassling us to
move. The rest of the evening went ok but after a long,
late, tiring drive home we were happy to be back in
good old notts. Its was all worth it though and we are
all looking forward to the next show.

2007 - Sheriff FatMan in the Capital

Thats

The 333 Club in central London on Wednesday 27th
June courtesy of Bugbear Promotions. We are taking
to the stage with "The Skints" who
are a ska/punk band who have already had Radio 1 airplay, along
with "Lightbox" and "Venus De Milo".

Jun
2007 - First Official Gig of the Summer
|
|
We
will remember the gig at The Rose of England on the
1st of June forever. Sheriff
FatMan
headlined the night and blasted the crowd away. Everyone
who came was up and dancing and were as much a part
of the show as all the bands who played. You can watch
a phone video of "Ska
Song"
if you follow this
link,
but the sound is quite poor throughout. Also here
you can find a short video of Sheriff FatMan
unplugged playing "Knowledge" in the
sunshine at the lake district.

sight and now years later they are still going strong
and our little group has been asked to provide the support,
which we are more than happy to do. So I hope to see
you all there to mark this occasion.

2006 - Ouch!!, The Injuries
|
|
We had an interesting month at the Sheriff's Lodge, because we have all been struck with an injury of
some sort, which is typical seeing as we have our biggest number of gigs in one
month ever coming up for August. First of all Mark has broken his metatarsal (ala Rooney) playing football and
is now in a cast for the next 4-6 weeks. Secondly Dom (me) has damaged the
intercostal muscles inbetween the ribs whilst attempting a backflip on a
trampoline and have been told to expect pain for the next 8 weeks and finally Rob
has some severe sunburn on his shoulders, which has caused some massive
blisters. The injured party we may be, but it hasn't stopped us punking our arses off,
we just have to be a little less animated for a while. Till next time. Hey Ho.

2006 - Drop in the Ocean Line up confirmed
|
|
This
is a massive event set to take over the Nottingham Live
Music scene for a day, in aid of an extremely worthy
charity. Drop in the Ocean was so successful last year
helping victims of the tsuami, that it has come back
bigger and stronger this year and we have decided to
get involved. £8 will get you a wristband and
access to all the venues taking part, of which there
are loads, catering for a wide range of musical genres.
Please come down and help out just by watching a few
bands and drinking beer because bar takings are also
thrown into the final tally. Check out dropintheocean.org
for the entire line up or click on shows for The

fun while it lasted and his input over the past 7 months

but "if venue issues can be resolved in the near future we
may pick up from where we left off". Any news that we have will be posted

which was a good warm up for the night after. Saturday
was the Heat 1 of Shock and Awe BOTB 2006, which
included Yes My Ninjas, Fallen Skies and Jonny
No Stars. Sheriff FatMan went up first but still
put in a performance that saw us progress to the semi-finals.
Thanx for all your support.

The
journey starts here, this was Sheriff FatMan's first
appearance outside Nottingham. The band opened the night
at The Shed in Leicester, with The Miscreants

Aug
2005 - Surprise Birthday gig/party for Mark
|
|
With
help from Dom. Mark's girlfriend Debbie organised a
surprise birthday gig at Bar None in Nottingham
for Mark and the band to play at. The only problem was,
Mark didn't have a thumb pick to play bass with, this
meant he fucked up loads more than he usually does.
His temper finally got the better of him, and as he
was swinging the bass guitar in the air he took out
two mic stands and two cymbal stands and the stage was
thrown into chaos, and then he stormed off. But it was
a TOP punk finish and everyone loved it. Good lad.

2005 - Sneaking onto an Experian in-house BOTB
|
|
Rob
knew someone at Experian who got Sheriff FatMan onto
the bill at their private event held at Junktion7,
by saying he was in the band. On the night he made
sure he didn't turn up so that we could conjour up an
award winning story as to why he couldn't play with
us that night. We played our set, but we were found
out afterwards and the judges made sure that we never
made the semi-finals.
