Fat Gut’z on trendy Soi Thonglor in Bangkok, has overall, some very good talent performing on its small stage tucked under a stairwell at this usually standing-room only jazz club. On Tuesday nights, they feature a particularly good singer called (Khun) Fon, who as they say, can really, “Belt Them Out”. She is backed up by a couple of first-rate electric-guitarists and one percussionist. Fat Gut’z occupies one of the front spaces in a development called Grass, which goes so far as to try to authenticate its name by gluing imitation, plastic grass to the walls and various other empty areas where it could possibly do so within the confines of the property. If you think this sounds tacky? You would be right. It is!
