Hamfatter are a pop rock band from Cambridge, UK, formed in 2002. The band are known primarily for their appearance on BBC's ''Dragons' Den''. The core of the band is a three-piece, comprising Eoin O'Mahony (vocals, bass guitar, piano), James Ingham (guitar, backing vocals) and Mark Ellis (drums). Eoin O'Mahony is the younger brother of the author Daniel O'Mahony. ==History== Following tours of local venues throughout the UK, and several line-up changes, Hamfatter signed to (Pink Hedgehog Records ) in 2003. Hamfatter's first official album, ''Fireworks'' (April 2004), enjoyed moderate success - particularly in and around Cambridge, where the band had built up a following. The album exhibits several different styles. Hamfatter's next release, ''Girls in Graz'' (May 2006), continued to raise the band's UK profile. The title track received radio-play and became a surprise hit in Austria, and two European tours followed. During this time Intim Productions of Vienna produced a DVD featuring live performances, interviews and a video for the song "Fireworks". In June 2006, Hamfatter were booked to headline the main stage at Strawberry Fair, Cambridge's summer festival. For this performance in front of an audience of several thousand, the usual three-piece line-up was enhanced by a horn section and double bass. This larger line-up has featured at most of the band's subsequent performances. Hamfatter recorded their third studio album, entitled ''What Part of Hamfatter Do You Not Understand?'', in summer 2007. Its lead single, "Sziget (We Get Wrecked)", reached 13 in the UK indie charts, and 54 in the UK singles charts. ''NME'' wrote a review in 2007 saying "Hamfatter carry an arsenal of power-pop nuggets including the amazing 'Sziget' which deserves to be a hit." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamfatter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
