Fat White Family- Touch The Leather (Eccentronic Research Council Cock Of The North De-Mix)

Posted on the 12 March 2014 by Justpressplay
We've featured the new single from the Fat White Family already on these pages, hot on it's heels is this fantastic rework from the Eccentronic Research Council. Adrian Flanagan from the ERC explains how it all came about;
"I met the Fat Whites properly a month or so ago when Saul from the band invited me to their palaver in Sheffield. They'd not slept for three days and on arrival in Sheffield they had some bloke who resembled the leader of the Baldies from the film The Warriors threatening to throw an Ikea pouffe at them [laughs] - what sort of person threatens to hit someone with a leather pouffe?? Anyway, the FWF countered this 'loving welcome' with naked piggybacks and with using a fire extinguisher as a smoke machine, while playing sweet sweet devil music.”"After the show, they made me an offer I couldn't understand and I found myself bundled into a van to their next show in Manchester... and then to their London show, where I ended up being their pre-show disc jockey; I'm not even a DJ. Now people in Sheffield won't talk to me anymore, something about my new mates not liking the Monkeys or something? I think Peter Tork is alright though... Quite a humble fella and in no way, a massive cock”“Meanwhile, just yesterday, in between flower arranging for the Mecca Bingo Old Dears Club and a round of crazy golf, Dean Honer (from The ERC) and I set about the mighty 'Touch The Leather', re-imagining it as an Indonesian Moog-pop track from 1971, produced by Bruce Haack and remixed using a Ouija board by Joe Meek. Sounds alright."
