Fat Potato

Yes, our prior band name was

"The Horizontals"

and included Patrick Furtado on saxophone and keyboards.

In 2008, Patrick was unexpectedly diagnosed with skin cancer, and was dead just a few weeks later.

As a child in a new school, he had stated his name (Pat Furtado) and was given the nickname Fat Potato.

In memory of Patrick, we renamed ourselves after his nickname.
