About Me

Many have attempted to describe Phoenix, Arizona’s Fatigo. Of the band: oddball, clever, strange, oddball auteur, absurdist, irrepressible, and, finally, supremely oddball. Of the music: lo-fi, Latin, lounge, pop, folky, jazzy, cumbia, tejano, norteño, mariachi, bossa nova, and not-quite-rock/not-quite-ordinary………… to name a few.“ My dad would always have music going in the house”,Montoya (singer) explains…whether we were pulling weeds or having a first communion party..it was always a mixture of Beatles, Mariachi Vargas, Trio Los Panchos , and Motown. …of course I was always trying to sneak my Depeche Mode cassettes in there….yeah so I’d have to say my dad is my biggest influence.”From subterranean dive bars in the Downtown Phoenix Arts district, to larger venues throughout the Valley of the Sun and beyond, Fatigo brings a multicultural concoction to the table . Smell it, drink it, love it, pass it on.Fatigo has recorded their second album "Menso"! It is available at any one of their shows. They are also working on new songs and will be posting some rough mixes to myspace for comments. The album MENSO is NOW available on their label's website: 727 RECORDS In the meantime check out one of their shows or read a review...
