Fat Riker may be the worst band on the planet. With thirty years of bizarre shows, puzzling albums and countless lineup changes, their history is almost impenetrable. When one man inherits the band by answering a mysterious classified ad, he finds himself with the unenviable task of sorting it all out.
His guide is the Fat Riker scrapbook, a battered and unsorted history of the group. Its pages are comprised of news clippings, journal entries and more than a few receipts for bulk rate corn chips. Sometimes Fat Riker is an unstoppable creative force. Uncaring to the plight of others, they push music critic Thomas Alanson to the brink. A stream of barely listenable Fat Riker albums flow endlessly into his review pile. Can he escape the musical assault with his sanity and good taste intact?
At other times the band is only barely functional, like when it is headed by hapless accountant Chris Guldan. On indefinite faked sick leave, Chris has little idea of how to run a band. Will Fat Riker fall apart if the band's latest cassette doesn't sell well enough to pay his bills? Worse yet, might Chris have to return to work?
Fat Riker edition by Aaron Littleton Literature Fiction eBooks
Anyone who has ever spent some time in their local music know "that" band. The one that tends to stick around despite not being entirely cohesive, musical or otherwise. The one that is whispered about only in passing for fear about bringing them up at a local haunt may cause them to play an impromptu show. The train wreck you can't help but watch because they're about to pull the second kazoo solo and there's surely not enough beer in the bar to handle two kazoo solos in one evening. TWO. KAZOOS.Fat Riker is that band, which the main character is trying to figure out the history of after inadvertently gaining ownership of it. While there may not be any kazoo solos in their history, they do have unfortunate corporate sponsorships, towns trying to keep them out and a distinct fascination with Orange Julius and unsuccessful sitcom shows. The book is set up as a series of gags that intertwine with each other from chapter to chapter as we catch glimpses of the band at different times since its conceptions, each more bizarre than the last, but make for a very amusing, quick evening read. While the gags are wild and a tad on the unbelievable side at times, I never felt like it was overstepping its boundaries in my suspension of disbelief for my time with the book.
It's short read at just a little over 150 pages, so it's a great single evening read as I did. If you have any interest at all at exploring the history of a wholly fake band that may make you recall real bands of your area, I highly recommend this.

Fat Riker edition by Aaron Littleton Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Thanking the author for the opportunity to read and review FAT RIKER.
Little did I know, when I opened my mail and found Littleton’s note, that this would set the tone for his work.
Fat Riker is hilarious. I often caught myself laughing out loud – I guess I’m (too) familiar with how wrong things can go when it comes to bands and touring. At times I’d roar with laughter, trying to utter “this is sooo Spinal Tap!!!” And it IS!
If you want to find out what’s up with Shambles the Pony, David Bowie, the Tortillaizer Supreme Instruction Manual, some strange dips and organic kale (to name a few), I suggest you grab yourself a copy of this book and find out!
Band members needed. Fat Riker. Free chips? Maybe.
