Faker At The Espy

Sydney duo Faker are heading to Melbourne for a one off show at The Espy next month!

After a hardworking 2009 they took some time off went back to the core of what they wanted. They returned with the recently released album ‘Get Loved’.

Deciding to produce their own record for the first time, they enlisted the help of an American engineer, Eric J Dubowski, and the support of friends Paul Mac and Jonny Seymour working as Stereogamous (for extra programming and mentoring), and set sail on the seven seas with songs like ‘How To Survive’, ‘Back When Solvents’ and the first single ‘Dangerous’.

‘We were always trying to figure out how love works, but we seemed to be looking at it like mad scientists, through our own complicated machinery’, says Nathan. ‘We started simple and scaled the band right down to two members: founder Nathan Hudson and long-term bassist/guitarist Nic Munnings. Between locking ourselves into our urban cottage studio to write and heading out to explore the world, we found our limbs again. The anti-gravity is still there, but the songs on GET LOVED are not afraid of falling, not afraid of holding on. You have to be this tall to ride’.

All of this need for romantic adventure came after 5 or 6 years of solid touring around the lovingly crafted debut record Addicted Romantic and it’s successful Gold follow up ‘Be The Twilight’. An everlasting gobstopper of a single ‘This Heart Attack’ took them on adventures far and wide and resulted in an APRA award for the Most Played Australian Work in 2008.
