The Fatty Acids at U.S. Cellular Connection Stage (Summerfest)
Milwaukee’s tireless Fatty Acids are one of the city’s première groups, thanks in part to a constant stream of boisterous, high-energy shows. The Acids’ second full-length, 2011’s Leftover Monsterface, manages to be quite different from their 2010 debut, while still retaining the band’s definitive sound. The first thing that pops out is the unnerving guitar riff on the album’s opening track, “Creature.” It’s an early indication of a darker side of the band than fans are used to. A minimal drum pattern expands and develops over the verses and explodes during the chorus—which evokes early Police with its frantic harmonies—and is followed by a blood-pumping synth/guitar death race. For a lead-off single, it’s not very commercial-sounding, but all the essential Fatty elements are in place.
