If you're one of the 14 people in Cleveland who haven't seen Fatkid Dodgeball (that's two words, folks) yet, then you don't know that the Columbus-based rock band has a growing legion of screaming female fans -- and that's the kind of endorsement you can't fake. And if you need musical details, the band is a study in contrasts: acoustic riffing and electric leads, vocal harmonies and pop-punk energy, and gentle melody over hard-hitting beats.
