FAT LES

​

Musicians: Damien Hirst, Keith Allen, Alex James, Guy Pratt

​

Produced and arranged provocoteur Brit Pop artist Damien Hirst's only musical outing under the moniker 'Fat Les'.  With bandmates Keith Allen, Alex James (Blur) and Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd) - Hirst didn't front the song) Vindaloo, a thoroughly postmodern football stadium anthem, reached number 2 in the UK charts during the heady days of the 1998 Wolrd Cup. Vindaloo went double platinum and was only kept from the top spot by a scurrilous re-release of Rod Steward's I am Sailing. That's irony. An additional diversion was participating in a riotous and brain-mashed appearance on Top Of The Pops with a heavily augmented line-up including funnymen David Walliams, Matt Lucas, Paul Kaye and Roland Rivron.
