“Newcastle hip hop is alive and it is awesome! Who’dve thunk it eh? Complete with duel back up singers and DJ (the full line-up included Bass and Guitar – but no live drums!); The Phat Controller rounded out the night with one of the most unique sets I’ve ever seen come out of a local band! Not only were the tunes humorous in context but they were also catchy as fuck, a reminder to everyone that while they may be all about the lol’s, these guy are good at what they do and should be taken seriously…..Well as serious as you can take a band where the MC (Flash Dangerfield) is dressed in naught but sneakers and denim cut-offs so short that I’m sure many teenage wenches will be asking where he shops. After seeing The Phat Controller plastered all over the Triple J Unearthed charts, and hearing the tales of the on stage shenanigans, I was glad to finally witness the spectacle for myself and I suggest you do the same…”

“The Phat Controller is a 7 piece band that has been gigging hard for the last two years in the run up and beyond to promote and showcase their controversial rock/rap debut album ‘All Aboard’ which include notable songs ‘Ruby Rose’, ‘I’m not a rapist’ & ‘Ode to the Silver Sack’ which was released on Christmas Day 2011. The Phat Controller has shared the stage with some of Australia’s finest bands such as Bluejuice, The Snowdroppers and Kira Puru during their rise to play their own headlining shows for the past year to a great reaction from fans and punters alike. The band will be showcasing their explosive, energetic and scantily clad live show that they have come to be known for at The Burdekin Hotel in Darlinghurst with the help of local crowd favorites Pink Ribbons and Particles with help from out of town punk/pop hooligans The Shivering Indies.”

“Album Review: Newcastle collective The Phat Controller brings their brand of sleazy, sexually charged mayhem to their full-length debut. All Aboard is a hip hop infused rap-rock hybrid designed for the ultimate offensive impact with highly explicit rhymes and a healthy dose of black humor. The sharp production value's manage to pull a big clean sound without sounding sterile or over produced, And the strong emphasis on the guitars offer a nice change for the genre. The surprisingly tasty leads, snappy percussion, clever samples and keys compliment the solid riffs: cementing a solid backdrop for the comically named Flash Dangerfield to spread his infectious flow and ludicrously crude, occasionally disturbing lyrics. The obligatory female vocals provide a melodic counterpoint to Dangerfield's catchy rhymes. Worthy tracks include the high school celebrity fantasy "Ruby Rose" the darkly humorous and vaguely disturbing "I'm not a rapist" and "The Diver" - an upbeat gem with a great chorus.”
