The Fauves - Fanpage Home

Last updated November 2011

The Fauves are are a band that hail from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. The band is best known for its string of catchy mid-late 1990s JJJ favourites such as Dogs Are The Best People, Self Abuser, Bigger Than Tina, Celebrate the Failure and Give Up Your Day Job. However, the Fauves have actually been around since the late 1980s, and the band is still releasing music today.

Read an piece penned by Coxy in Beat in which he reflects on the band's albums. The band's official website has also been updated.

Old updates

I have updated the videos page to contain some links the classic 90s documentary about the Fauves called 15 Minutes to Rock. I've also added a link to a video on youtube of the Fauves side-project Pub Rock covering Cool World on Channel V in 2001.

On the topic of Fauves videos, a bunch of rare Fauves videos have recently been uploaded on to youtube by two users called szabologist and Bamptonoid. Visit their profiles to browse the videos. There is some really obscure stuff including home video of Coxy playing obscure b-side the DIrtbike Option and Insert Your Life in a backyard in December 2010.

Don't forget that the Fauves have a Facebook page.

There is an interview with Coxy from March 2010 here.
