With their debut EP Fat Mezz Loves Cooter under their belt, the band shows no sign of slowing down, so keep on the lookout for a Fat Mezz party in a town near you.
“Pretty Blonde Noose” was written by one of their guitarists, Kurt Foster, and features lead vocals from bassist Dom Levy. “We recorded the EP in 3 sessions after working 5 nights a week and had to get it all done before the summer really started where we play 6-7 days a week with doubles. It was crucial because getting a vocal track before the summer started because vocal health can’t be maintained playing almost every day but even with that the vocal of “Pretty Blonde Noose” was recorded after singing 5 nights straight at gigs with no rest adding to the rawness factor of the song,” says the band.

My husband and I have been fans of this group since they started. They have so much passion and heart. They only keep getting better. They put their hearts and souls into everything they do. Thank you for recognizing them.
This band just sucks in the audience every time they play. Young, talented rooted in classic rock, soul, any cover tune they touch they honor the band that played it originally. Their original Pretty Blond Noose is a true expression of who they are. Talent personified in each of them. I know they are destined for greatness.
Music is their passion and it shows with every performance. They appeal to both young and old and everyone in between. They are bringing back a genre of music that was bordering on extinction. Thanks for sharing their story and their music. Love Fat Mezz!!
