What's New: Fat Bastard

Fat Bastard, Belgium’s gritty rock export, is back with a fiery new single, “Never Told Me Her Name”, from their upcoming album Barely Dressed (April 2025). More than a song, it’s a wild ride through tequila-soaked nights and hazy morning-after memories. The lyric video is exclusively available on YouTube.

Set in a smoky bar with a nameless beauty and a hangover that hits like a Motörhead riff, “Never Told Me Her Name” unfolds as a layered track originally titled “Hole in the Wall” during the Trump era. With politics sidelined after that period, the band now focuses on raw, real-life drama, accented by a burst of Mexicana flair via trumpets courtesy of Bert O’Hara.

It’s a nod to Motörhead’s 50th anniversary—Fat Bastard will also treat listeners to tracks like “Mr. Rock,” a tribute to Lemmy, and “Tiger Queen,” a ballad that balances swagger with wild energy. Since 2007, Fat Bastard has been igniting festivals from Alcatraz to Frietrock, delivering performances described as true rock exorcisms.

In short, “Never Told Me Her Name” is an adrenaline rush—a rock anthem that cuts through the autotune era with raw riffs, ironic political twists, and unforgettable live energy. For those who crave the grit of Motörhead, the rebellious spirit of punk, and the chaos of a rock fiesta, Fat Bastard is here to remind everyone that rock isn’t dead—it’s just been sleeping.

Key live dates include:

• April 25, 2025 – Hell Diest with Speed Queen

• May 10, 2025 – Barock Bruges with Speedmobile

Lineup: Jorn Mazet on vocals, Kurt Pals on drums, Geller Van Reeth on bass, and Jan Someryns on guitar. Fat Bastard continues to rattle the rules of rock with a sound that is both authentic and explosively unforgettable.
