Slim adds weight to live show
Dance music pioneer Fatboy Slim will take a live backing band with him on his upcoming Palookaville tour after being so impressed with their performance in a local pub.
The star - real name Norman Cook - has only DJed on tour in the past, but now he has lined up English band Johnny Quality to give his show a fresh flavour.
Cook spotted the band in a bar near his home in Brighton, England, and was so mesmerised, he immediately signed them to his Southern Fried record label.
A friend of Cook said: "All his previous shows have just been Norman playing records. With a live band to back him, it will be more of a real show."
