The Fab Faux News and Information
Posted 6/18/2009
The Fab Faux is known as one of the premiere Beatles cover band in the world, recreating their sound and spirit for fans with an eerie similarity.
Will Lee, bassist on "Late Show with David Letterman,” Jimmy Vivino, guitarist for "Late Night with Conan OBrien,” drummer Rich Pagano and vocalists Frank Agnello and Jack Petruzzelli make up the collective, along with the Hogshead Horns and the Creme Tangerine Strings.
The band came together in 1998 to recreate the sound of the Beatles, using extra vocalists to ensure the double-tracked sound of the Fab Four. Songs are reproduced note-for note at performances.
The band is also known for their themed shows. They are a more thoughtful cover band than most - often times they play entire albums at a show, or they will explore different aspects of the Beatles catalogue, such as performing all psychedelic songs or all solo works from the band members after the group broke up.
The Fab Faux has played some of the most notable venues in the U.S., including The China Club, Irving Plaza, The Bowery Ballroom and Webster Hall. They have also performed in England, including several shows at Beatle Week in Liverpool.
