FAUVES

Over 20 years have passed since the Fauves played their fi rst show at the Mt Eliza Football Club Players Night on the 23rd of July 1988. Reaching this milestone was cause for brief reflection. The band has been likened to a North Queensland cult by noted rock historian Lance Markham. For those who have been indoctrinated, membership is a revelatory experience. Others tend to just walk past the large cyclone fence and peer through occasionally. Depending on the wind direction they may hear some singing. Now the Fauves have a new album – When Good Times Go Good. It was recorded with long time collaborator Wayne Connolly, who has worked on five of the band’s nine albums. Adding some serious cache was producer Jim Moginie from Midnight Oil. The Fauves have been quiet for 18 months, playing few shows and barely appearing in public.
