FAT HIPPY SAMPLER VOL. III
AVAILABLE IN SHOPS AND ITUNES... MONDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER

Following the successes of the previous two samplers, we return with another ear-full of exciting musical offerings destined to outgrow their surroundings. From the Xcerts to Driveblind via My Minds Weapon and Edgar Prais, nearly every band from the area that's gone on to national (and in some cases) international success in recent times was nurtured at the bosom of Fat Hippy Records. Some of these bands return for guest appearances on Fat Hippy Sampler Vol III, along with the next generation of local groups destined for future greatness.
Genres on this latest offering range from Indie Pop to Splat Metal. At Fat Hippy egos and images are checked at the door - these are simply 20 bands making original music with the talent and potential to make a career out of their craft.
Without getting too rose-tinted about it, Fat Hippy is an independent record label in the traditional sense. We've spent a lot of time, effort and money over the last 6 years producing nearly 50 CDs and putting on hundreds of gigs all around the country. We've not made any money out of it yet, but the warm fuzzy feeling we get every time we release something new out into the galaxy makes up for it.
Anyway, we do hope you can do a little bit to help tell the world about this fantastic CD that offers an amazing 72 minutes of entertainment for only £3! With 20 bands on this CD that's only 15p per song, surely an irresistible opportunity to experience a slice of the future before it arrives!!

SATURDAY 4TH OCTOBER
ALL DAY IN-STORE SHOW AT ONE UP RECORDS
Quite possibly the best in-store gig ever! Saturday 4th October see Fat Hippy take over everyone's favourite Aberdeen record shop, One-Up Records. Throughout the day eleven of the bands featuring on the sampler III will play, we are splitting One-Up into two rooms (predictably upstairs and downstairs) to ensure we can cram in as much live music as possible. Kicking off at 12 noon and going solidly through till 5.30, it promises to be a memorable day, and best of all entry is completely free :o)
Hope to see you there :o)
