Fats Comet

Band, 1984-1987 GB
Dance, Electronic, R&B/Soul and Hip-Hop/Rap
A.k.a. Fats Comet And The Big Sound Maffia Tackhead

Fats Comet was an industrial hip-hop group formed by Keith LeBlanc, Skip McDonald, Adrian Sherwood and Doug Wimbish. The band was known for producing dance tracks that were densely layered in samples and ahead of their time. In a 1987 article in Spin, Scott Burlingham commented that "songs like "Bop Bop" and "Stormy Weather" are three years old and they still don't fit in." The members eventually shifted their focus to another project Tackhead, under which they continue to produce music.
