Arriving ultra early to the Norfolk Basement, I was greeted with the type of warm ambience that is typical of ‘The Basement;’ dimly lit and abuzz with the chatter from the equally early punters that were slowly trickling down the stairs.

Sunday night at The Bakery saw the chaps from Fat Shans launch Perth’s newest record label to an enthusiastic crowd. Less than a year into their existence they have expanded from record store to a recording studio for hire and now to record label. They have certainly been popping up all over the place since their inception, with residencies at the Norfolk Basement; pop-up stalls at a variety of gigs not to mention their own intimate soirees on the last Friday of every month.
