= LowFat (band) =

LowFat is seven piece group (although this number sometimes fluctuates) based out of the San Francisco bay area that draws primarily from funk, reggae and hip-hop styles. Their sound reflects influences from The Meters to Sublime.

Background
Started by front man Chris Uiterwijk in 2001, the group was originally a studio project for his independent record label Rizla Records. Uiterwijk soon realized that his idea for a band which fuses these sounds would have a possibility of success as a performance group, especially in San Francisco's diverse nightlife scene. Since the group's debut album, Bar Wisdom, in 2005 they have performed in many venues throughout Northern California.

Instrumentation
The instrumentation of the group is similar to many big band funk groups. Instrumentation includes a singer/guitar, bass, small horn section, backup vocals, percussion, and drums.
