The Fauves’ lengthy tenure (24 years) has resulted in them outlasting several generations of rock journalists. Long have they posed like big game hunters on the African savannah with feet astride lifeless necks. To this end we are aware that some readers may require a little background on the Fauves. After meeting at High School the 4 friends soon became a regular fixture on the Melbourne live scene, issuing 2 self-funded EP's before signing with Polydor records in 1993. It was the release of the band's third album, Future Spa, in 1996 that really enabled the band to reach another level of popularity and thereafter followed three years where they saw more of Australia than the Postal Service. Playing nearly 200 shows a year honed their unique stage show to within an inch of its life and delighted audiences from Adelaide to Arnhem Land. During this period a film crew followed the band on its travels and the resulting documentary Fifteen Minutes To Rock aired on national television in late 2000. The Fauves' appeal has always been difficult to define. Never fitting into any particular genre has afforded them a longevity rare in the music industry while their extra-curricular talents have seen them involved in everything from hosting youth television programs to appearing on the popular TV quiz show Sale Of The Century. |
