Who likes Fatboy Slim? Oh, you know who he is. He had that HUGE hit single a few years ago called Weapon Of Choice. The video features American actor Christopher Walken dancing his way through four minutes of beats. (He is also responsible for the infamous Funk Show Brother and the timeless track Praise You; we all know the words to those two songs.) Well Fatboy Slim is about to rock the house next weekend. He will be performing live in Las Vegas over Memorial Day weekend at Marquee Dayclub.
Fatboy Slim, known as Norman Cook to his friends, has been doing this for a long time. He has been performing since 1981, and has managed to get pretty good at several instruments. He has mastered the turntables (of course), the keyboard, the bass guitar, and the rhythm guitar… even the drums. He truly is a man of many talents. Fatboy Slim is currently offering a free download of his Las Vegas Take Over Mix. You can actually download that track below by entering your email address into the widget.
But wait, there’s more… How would you like to win two tickets to see him perform next weekend at Marquee? Well here’s your chance! I have a pair of tickets to his DJ set next Sunday, May 29th at Marquee Dayclub. He will be joined by James Zabiela, Aeroplane, and Thomas Gandey.
But Ricky, how do we win? It’s easy… the first person to answer the following question wins. Just answer in the comment section below…
Cook formed a band called Freak Power that featured horn player Ashley Slater and singer Jesse Graham. In what year did they release their debut album?
The first person to answer that question correctly wins two tickets to next weekend’s show! Good luck everyone… let’s dance!
I believe the year was 1994! (I did some research!) :-0
I think it was in 1994! Do I win?
I have no idea… can you give me a hint?
Fatboy Slim brings back fond memories of my middle school years. One of my buddies was super into the Weapon of Choice video with Christopher Walken in it. Did you know that Spike Jonze directed that video? He’s the director of Where The Wild Things Are. That would be quite a collection of talent collaborating on one project.
As far as the cook band question is concerned, I’m all thumbs. Very cool prize though.
’94
oh man, fatboy rocks. that praise you song is great. i wish i know the answer. i wont be in vegas, but still would be cool to win tickets 🙂
I doubt anyone could replicate Christopher Walken’s dancing! That was a great video!
1994. hE WAS ALSO THE BASS PLAYER FOR THE BAND “THE HOUSEMARTINS” (JUST A LITTLE MORE FBS TRIVIA)
