Fatty Cakes and the Puff Pastries are a punk band from Fresno, California, consisting of members Amber Fargano, Vishinna Turner, Audrey Paris Johnson, Victoria Crow, and Staci McDowell.
They have played special gigs like a tour of Girls Rock Camps across the west coast, Weirdo Night, Folsom Street Fair in both 2022 and 2023, and at the Bob Baker Marionette Theater accompanied by a cast of puppets.
[6] Victoria Crow told the LA Times that her relationship to Fresno is complicated, saying "Being Chukchansi, one of the many tribes that are indigenous to the Central Valley, my love and pride for this city is generational and ancestral."
When asked about what it means to be a "Grrrl Gang" by Nylon the band mentioned upholding friends and making sure people feel safe at shows is important to them, and in a 2022 interview with the LA Times they talked about keeping a Hello Kitty baseball bat in their tour van for safety.
It was produced by Alice Bag[9] and recorded at Station House Studios by Mark Rains in Echo Park during the fall of 2017, and mastered by Margot Padilla.
"[12] The band are active members of the Bruise Violet Collective, Fresno based musicians, writers, and artists who organize events catering to marginalized identities.
