Wo Fat
- Sound Description:
- A bubbling psychedelic brew of heavy riff-rock and electric fuzzed-out blues
Based in Dallas, TX
Wo Fat's music is all about the riff, and the band is well-schooled in the ways of Rock. They have learned from '70s era recordings from the likes of Black Sabbath, Captain Beyond, Leslie West and ZZ Top, as well as from the bluesmasters of days past like John Lee Hooker, Howlin Wolf, Son House and Mississippi Fred McDowell. Wo Fat has travelled through the backwoods mythos of the north Mississippi hill country blues of R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, and studied the riffage of more contemporary masters like Sleep, Kyuss and Fu Manchu. They also possess knowledge of the archaic arts of analog recording and vacuum tube amplification. The result is a bubbling psychedelic brew of heavy riff-rock and electric fuzzed-out blues - a concoction of earthshaking Sabbathesque doom, with dark trance inducing hill country blues and mind altering guitar solos.
