The Fab Faux, Best Beatles Tribute Band Ever, Plays The Klein Saturday September 10, 2011, Perfect Family Concert

You know they are the best Beatles re-creationists out there, but have you ever heard them swing through an entire nuanced late-Beatles album, note for note? Did you know they were that good? They’re known to do this from time to time, just as they’re known to nail every single harmony note for note.

A Fab Faux show is a special treat for the whole family, and makes a perfect first concert for the budding music fan. More than that, it is without a doubt the most musical-centered tribute band we’ve come across. Bringing the timeless Beatles lyrics, dramatic unexpected melodies and subtly brilliant harmonies to life (with the help of extra vocalists), the group doesn’t just stand there and play the part; they put on a show certainly worthy of a packed Klein Auditorium.
Bringing along some specialty horns (known as the Hogshead Horns) and strings (known as the Creme Tangerine Strings) for the ride, The Fab Faux are committed to helping you re-experience 1969, by nailing even the later tunes, like “Strawberry Fields Forever”, “I Am the Walrus,” “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite,” “Paperback Writer” or “Glass Onion.” Having never actually played almost all of these songs in concert themselves (as a full group), the Beatles left us several mysterious and masterful tracks.

Beatles trivia: Their final album Let it Be, wasn’t actually their final album at all? Although it was released last, Abbey Road was recorded last; and named after (but not recorded in) the same enigmatic recording studio later responsible for the Dark Side of the Moon album. Well, the Fab Faux has actually recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Liverpool, England absolutely loves the guys, and they’ve performed there several times.

Rolling Stone’s senior editor David Fricke once wrote, “The Faux invigorate the artistry of even the Beatles' most intricate studio masterpieces with top chops and Beatlemaniac glee,” and the story's byline called The Fab Faux “The greatest Beatles cover band… without the wigs.”
So if you’re ready to hear the Beatles’ best songs played live, all the way through, from 20 feet away with a full set of horns and strings -- then you’re going to want to “Come Together,” if you catch our drift.
