About Me


Fatskunks. A name that can never be affirmed of its origins. A band that aims to propel themselves as music makers and opposers of current gig conformity. Music is ONE language and one does not need genres to divide or sub-cultures to identify.
Events that they have been invited to perform at vary from Rock On Singapore (a national music festival held in conjuncton with the Singapore Arts Festival), Get off That Thang! (over at the Esplanade's Outdoor Theatre), Barnone's Monday Night Sessions (Barnone, a well known club/pub) and many more.
Fatskunks will be taking a break from gigs till the end of the year as we go back to the recording studios to wrap up our EP scheduled for release early next year. We've got merch planned also and a fantastic official website comin up courtesy of El Gato! On behalf of Fatskunks, I would like to thank everyone for their support and kind kind words. We will be back!
