The Beatles and The Fab Faux

Unmistakably, The Beatles has been amongst the best selling band in the United States. The legendary position of the band led to the springing up of several tribute bands. With uncountable awards and honors, and multiple titles of being the most influential and sought-after band, it is hardly a surprise for The Beatles to have so many tribute groups. One such tribute band is ‘The Fab Faux’. Although included in the list of tribute bands for The Beatles, this particular band is a separate entity in itself in the world of music.

 

The Beatles’ members were also known as the ‘Fab Four’, that is where the tribute band’s name comes from. The band Fab Faux was founded by Will Lee, who is also the founder of ‘The World’s Most Dangerous Band’ now known as the CBS Orchestra and the bandleader of Conan as well. The Fab Faux performs live, even the music that The Beatles’ themselves never played live. Often their performances are accompanied by a string section, called Crème Tangerine Strings, and a horn section, called Hogshead Horns.
