The Faux are indeed great. Check out the recent interview with the man
himself, below.

Subject: Re: Faux bands/New Cars

On another note, I went out to New Brunswick, NJ this
past weekend to check out the Fab Faux.  I'm only an
occasional reader of this NG, so not sure how much has
been discussed about this band.  I think that the
worst thing you can say about them is: "too bad there
weren't any Beatles on the stage"....or, perhaps, "is
it a total charity gig, or are they making money on
the Beatles music?"

Having said that, they're definitely the best Beatles
cover band that I've ever seen.  And as they say,
"It's about the music."  They re-create the music,
vocals, extraneous sounds/sound effects to the "T"...
Will Lee is the front man, and he's got tons of energy
up there.  He used the Hofner Bass for the pre '65
stuff, and the white Fender VI (I think) for all the
later stuff, and there was a LOT of later stuff.  All
of the musicians are top-notch, A-list NY
professional, multi-instrumentalist studio guys.  Will
brought along "Late Show's" Tom Malone to play in the
Hogshead Horns for the night.  I really can't go on
any more hear...just go to their web site for more
info.  Go see them if you're in the NY area...I think
they're doing the White ALbum in its entirety in
February...Revolution #9 could be interesting...

Mike
