The Fatsumas
The band consists of three guys living in Pakistan for various reasons. Imran (singer,songwriter,guitar), Gul Mawaz (drummer), and Ali (rhythm guitar and whatever else is needed). But they came together to create some good music, previously unheard of in this country.
They are slowly gaining quite a little following despite their lack of many gigs. With catchy melodies and infectious riffs, they are predicted to take over the music scene in countries even outside of the Pak Land. Watch out!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I thought we sort of covered that in the band introduction. But we've only been semi-serious about recording for the past few months. Imran has been in various bands such as Kelly Milk, the Saturnines, and now the Fatsumas. This is Ali's first band. And Gul Mawaz has played with a band before as well before joining the Fatsumas.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Occasionally when we're able to get together we'll play live. One third of the band , due to "parental restrictions" is rarely let out of the house. But when the rocking trio are together, we bring the house down.
