Track 4 - Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ, Fatale would really be as well turning into a Christian rock band, but alas they are sentenced to 70 years of barbed wire pop penal servitude… much to the excitement of all of us Fatale fans. In noticing that there are a multitude of religious references in this EP i do wonder what the significance of this is. I doubt it’s on accident, if there’s one thing I know about Christopher Jollie, he does nothing by accident – ask me more about this I have an array of stories that are part truth, mostly cufflinks fiction, but extremely funny.

I remember hearing ‘Jesus Christ’ for the first time at eh ahhhh… fuck knows probably one of their Mcchuills gigs and instantly thinking that if the stars are to align, and the sea is to part that this would be the song that catapulted Fatale into the sonic stratosphere, and ultimately win these five star children fame and fortune. Anyway, ‘Jesus Christ’ has now become a stalwart in Fatale’s set, in which it could rival ‘Moves You’ for the Fatallion’s live favourite. However, in this case I don’t like to see Mum and Dad argue so my personal view on this made-up matter is I love both, and will give equal shimmying, grooving and a-moving to each, and that Fatale, is my promise to you. Amen?...

The Final mix that appears on this EP is extremely pleasant on the ears, it starts heavy, continues to be heavy, and ends heavy. This essentially is all I want from a Fatale tune, and it ultimately makes sense why this song is being moshed to whenever Fatale most gracefully choose to slot it into their always boisterous set. I can’t pretend to know what “Jesus Christ knocks on my door” means, at first I thought death then I thought perhaps Fatale have a seriously skewed view of the good people over at Royal Mail and link their work to the works of Jesus Christ. I’ll go with the second option; I also believe wholeheartedly in the holy importance of the Royal Mail.

I was thinking of taking one of Jesus’ quotes and putting my own spin on it to end this piece, I have now decided that this would probably constitute blasphemy, and I’m no believer, but I’m not out of my mind and Instead I will end this with one word repeated.

Magna Magna Magna (loud loud loud).
