RIDE SINGLE REVIEW SURFING WORLD It's hard to believe that something cool could come out of Bondi these days without without wearing a low cut V-neck or sporting a perfect manicured three day growth, but this energetic three piece hark back to another dirtier time in the beach suburbs history, when the sand was covered in shit and syringes and the party was full of people you never invited. Might sound like the bad ol' days butt there was fun to be had and that's evident on Fait Accompli's debut single Ride. Uplifting and heartbreaking, sentimental and irresistible this is a song that makes you want to dance. If you get the chance to see them live don't miss it. If you don't then go and buy their record DREAMS, out soon.
RIDE SINGLE REVIEW 3D WORLD Sydney Trio Fait Accompli have had an eventful couple of years since their formation in 2006, having self-produced and self released two independent EP's, whilst playing more than 150 shows up and down the east coast of Australia. This digital-only four track EP sees Fait Accompli enlisting the production aid of close friend Ian Pritchett (Beautiful Girls, Angus & Julia Stone) and offers the first taste of their debut album Dreams, expected later this year. If lead track Ride shimmers with jangling indie guitars and a driving bassline that recalls a more motorik-influenced Maximo Park, Science represents a more aggressive proposition, its hammering tribal drums and howling guitars sitting close to the barbed attack of Gang Of Four. Death Of A Ceaser meanwhile manages to close things off nicely with a more acoustic vibe which manages to throw some stray REM atmospheres in there as well - tasty.
RIDE SINGLE LAUNCH @ ANNANDALE HOTEL - SATURDAY 11 JULYFASTERLOUDER.COM.AU / Photos by FastlaneFait Accompli headlined a rapid-fire lineup, fired up the blast furnace and rumbled the solid rock foundations of the Annandale Hotel itself.
RIDE SINGLE REVIEW
RAVE MAGAZINE
I don’t envy the publicist trying to even hypothetically associate Fait Accompli to a Discredited Public Joke Band. Firstly, they’re an entirely independent group, making getting remunerated, even hypothetically, a difficult job. Secondly and more to the point, it’s difficult to make a gut-reaction comparison between Fait Accompli and any other band. It’s not that the Sydney trio’s upbeat four-bar indie tune Ride is so unique that it defies categorisation. Indeed, the chiming then fuzzy guitar pattern is so familiar, it may as well have been taken from the powerpop equivalent to the ABC Songbook that you learnt by rote in primary school. But it’s perhaps this faithfulness to a well-known template, without being derivative of anything specific, that endears the song so quickly. Ride lopes along, swept along in the wake of all that came before it, sunny and happy to let the drums lead it through the verses, before the guitars jump in front and put a pair of cool rockin’ shades on the chorus. It’s an effective mix, though if I have to adhere to this week’s self-imposed gimmick, I’ll give a nod of influence to the sunnies-loving, awkward-dancing, barroom king Huey Lewis, more for his cool-be-stuffed attitude than anything.
LIVE REVIEW QUOTES
MY FILTHY RIOT FESTIVAL, ANNANDALE DRUM MEDIA
Riding just below the Triple J Radar, Fait Accompli mirrored early At The Drive-In as drummer/vocalist Mr Ray showed his melodic and rhythmic sides. Lost In The City opened the packed room’s ears, but it was the seemingly spontaneous dynamics and accents from both guitarists that crawled in and stayed. A hard act to follow if any...
HOMEBRAND FESTIVAL, ANNANDALE HOTEL MUSIC FEEDS ...But it was Fait Accompli who took the gong for the best act at the festival in terms of a harsher, rockier sound - of course. This band continues to be AMAZING. NO kudos however to the drunk punter who decided to stage crash - keep your rock’n'roll in your pants, buster! They even did a cover of Neil Young’s “Hey Hey My My.” Cream!
COME TOGETHER FESTIVAL, LUNA PARK FASTERLOUDER “Drummer ‘Mr. Ray’ infected the Nirvana-on-(even more)-heroin punk sound that this act carved out with just a little reggae touch of groove and funkaliciousness. This intense show was the full force of what good music should be: transcendental and able to take the listener away to somewhere altogether better. Sheer raw punk from Sydney has not offered so much for a while.” CLUB 77 DRUM MEDIA “…Straight away you can see this band is something special. Their live set can be likened to a freak storm: the explosive, pounding drums (in similar vein to Bloc Party) build up an ever-increasing frenzy; the guitar jangles rip through the room towards a nightmarish climax; the bass lines rumble like storm clouds on the horizon.”
SANDRINGHAM HOTEL JANE GAZZO CHANNEL [V] “Fait Accompli are probably one of the most promising bands to emerge from Sydney in a long time.”
