Rudyard's presents Fatback Circus * Killing Industry.

Fatback Circus (pictured, Austin, TX) - Fatback Circus prides themselves on their open-ended originality and their distinctive songwriting. The band’s avant-garde style allows them to indulge in any classification of music, giving each song they create an original and new-fangled sound that is completely engaging.

Dalton, Garrett, Nathan, and Aaron share an unyielding passion that will augment their style and their music for years to come. They’ve made a home for themselves in Austin, TX, though all four were raised in the small, college town of Stillwater, OK. Fatback Circus has released two albums: “The Elephant King” back in 2006 and their new album “Dark World”, which came out in late April. They are currently working on a third album to be released soon. You can catch their videos for “Jessica” and “World Color” on channel 15 METV Austin. Fatback Circus is playing heavily in the Austin area and are well on their way to becoming one of the most crowd-pleasing bands in the region.

Killing Industry (Austin, TX) - Sam Berniard and Chad Gowan, later joined by Mark Hammett and Jason Harrison, started Killing Industry in the summer of 2006. The four members have played in various projects together in the past, and share a common goal of making music from the soul. Their set draws upon a wide range of influences from the Police to the Dismemberment Plan. Berniard’s songs share a common theme of driving back beats, reggae influenced syncopation and soaring melodies in a convenient indie rock package.
