    Press Reviews
    “On Fat Opie’s second album “Hipster’s, Freaks, Fags & Homeboys”, banjos and mandolins do a danse macabre with burning electric guitars, illuminating characters that glow through the grime… it’s American folk-rock with a post-punk edge, rustic but scarred.” -Alternative Press Magazine “Fat Opie complete’s this trio of national-quality acts with a set of tunes that are more overtly rock, even if they make use of banjo and mandolin. Hipster’s, Freaks, Fags & Homeboys… is an edgy record that successfully translates a modern sensibility…” -Willamette Weekly “Fat Opie’s music is so catchy and tight, it’s surprising the band is playing venues as small as this.” -SF Weekly “Using instruments such as mandolin and lap steel guitar, they thicken their texture with clever lyrics … ‘Piñata’ movingly and cleverly chronicles a sad tale with lush instrumentation and full vocal harmonies…” -San Francisco Bay Guardian
