The Geeks Were Right

Arguably you could be forgiven if you thought that The Faint was the next new sound to hit your ears. . Without trying to be disrespectful to such an accomplished outfit, it isn't difficult to group their style of music alongside many of the other flash in the pan acts going round right now. I'm sure when they hit the music world some years ago no one would have ever given a hope of obtaining the fan base and longevity that they have achieved.

The Faint have been doing this for over a decade and consistently they seem to deliver with more volume and quality than many of their other counter parts. These guys were making dance with guitars while Franz Ferdinand and friends were still perfecting haircuts. With tracks as classic as Glass Danse, I Disappear and now The Geeks Were Right, it's not hard to see why they have achieved what they have.



Their latest effort entitled Fasciination which features The Geeks were Right is out now and they are briefly touring the lovely shores of Australia end of September, dates below.

24th Sept: The Zoo, Brisbane
25th Sept: The Metro, Sydney
26th Sept: Prince of Wales, Melbourne
