The Fatty Acids, WC Tank, Milo, Safari Al, and Offsite at Club Timbuktu
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. Still, the Acids are best experienced live, where its easy to get caught up in the energy pouring out from both band and crowd.
