With a commitment to the accurate reproduction of The Beatles’ repertoire, The Fab Faux treat the seminal music with unwavering respect, and are known for their painstaking recreations of the songs (with emphasis on the later works never performed live by the Beatles). Far beyond a cover band, they play the music of The Beatles so impeccably that one must experience it to believe it. Imagine hearing complex material like “Strawberry Fields Forever” or “I Am the Walrus” performed in complete part-perfect renditions; or such harmony-driven songs as “Because”, “Nowhere Man”, and “Paperback Writer”, reproduced not only note- for-note, but with extra vocalists to achieve a double-tracked effect.
The musical virtuosity of The Fab Faux – in actuality, five
of the hardest working musicians in NYC – completely up-ends the concept
of a Beatles tribute band. Far beyond being extended sets of
cover versions, their astounding shows are an inspired re-discovery of the
Beatles’ musical magic, as The Fab Faux tackles the group’s most
demanding material live onstage in a way that has to be experienced to be believed.
Calling them, “the greatest Beatles cover band – without the
wigs,” Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke wrote, “the Faux
invigorate the artistry of even the Beatles’ most intricate studio masterpieces
with top chops and Beatlemaniac glee…” Approaching the songs with the
intent of playing them live as accurately in musical reading and in spirit
as possible, The Faux’s breathtaking performances tend to dispel
all concertgoers’ previous notions of a Beatles tribute
act. “The Fab Faux have the hardest job in the history of R & R
and they pull it off damn well. All rock bands want to be like the
Beatles; these guys have the nerve to BE the Beatles. Amazingly, they’re so
good at it you learn new things about the originals” – Dave
Marsh, legendary Rock Critic and Sirius Radio Host.
The Fab Faux are a labor of love that was born in 1998 when
Will Lee (who’s played with all 4 Beatles), bassist for Paul Shaffer’s CBS
Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman decided that he was
determined to organize the greatest Beatles band without any props (sans
period wardrobe, fake accents, wigs) and focus on the intricacies and soul
of the music. Rounding out the line-up are Jimmy Vivino, Music
Director/Guitarist for ‘Conan’ and long time music partner of Levon Helm, John
Sebastian, Laura Nyro, lead-singing drummer/producer Rich Pagano (Rosanne Cash,
Roger Waters, etc.),
guitarist, Frank Agnello (Marshall Crenshaw, Phoebe Snow,
etc.) and multi-instrumentalist, Jack Petruzzelli (Joan Osborne [producer, Love
And Hate], Patti Smith, etc.). All five principals contribute
vocals, making the Faux’s soaring harmonies as resonant as their
multi-instrumental chops, which are further enhanced on select shows by the
four-piece Hogshead Horns (with Blues Brothers, Blood, Sweat & Tears and
SNL band alums) and The Creme Tangerine Strings.
The Faux’s high energy shows have generated serious buzz not
only at top NYC venues including sold out shows at Radio City Music
Hall and The Beacon Theater in New York City – with Beatles fans, movie
stars and world class musicians in attendance – but at major dates in Los
Angeles, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Park City, Utah (Sundance), Philadelphia,
Boston, Chicago and Toronto, among other locales. They’ve headlined 5 of Liverpool’s annual
Beatle Festivals, playing before 35,000 Beatle fanatics – while in England,
they had the rare honor of recording an original song at Abbey Road
Studios – and also delighted the masses performing live on the Howard
Stern Show and The Mark And Brian Show. Benefit and corporate dates have
included events for JVC, the N.B.A. and the Michael J. Fox Parkinsons
Research Foundation. TV appearances include Late Show with David Letterman and
“Conan.”
“It’s not just a cover band,” says the Faux’s Pagano. “This is the greatest Pop music ever written, and we’re such freaks for it…Vivino adds, “It’s constant archaeology.” Imagine the instrumental complexities of “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “A Day in the Life” performed part-perfect with an orchestra. The lush, multi-layered harmonies of “Because,” and “Eleanor Rigby” sung note-for-note. The adrenaline rush of “Helter Skelter,” “Tomorrow Never Knows” and “Paperback Writer,” delivered spot on…Agnello adds, “Even more difficult than the later period material is recreating the exuberance and energy of the early records, but we love to play it all.” “Whenever anyone saw The Beatles perform it was just the four guys,” Lee continues. “You never saw them on stage with a sitar or a string section. When the show calls for it, we have all that stuff.”
