The Fauves

The Fauves

The Fauves are an Australian rock band formed in Melbourne in 1988. The line-up consists of Andrew Dyer, Adam Newey, Andrew Cox and Phil Leonard, four school friends from Frankston, a suburb of Melbourne. The band also develops a reputation for lyrics that are wry, ironic and highly literate, with songs that cover a wide range of subjects.

Career

The Fauves begin with major label support early in their career, although that backing later diminishes. They continue as a long-running group with a devoted following and remain active from their formation in 1988 onwards. Their sound is described as deliberately hard to categorise, while their writing keeps a sharp and distinctive edge.

Releases

When Good Times Go Good is listed as a later release by the band.
