The Faint

This event has now passed
After being flooded with hundreds of angry letters and E-mails from aggrieved fans for not making the trek to Brisbane, The Faint are delighted to announce they will now be adding one more show to their Australian tour…this way they can be assured they can leave the country safely!
Certain phenomena cannot easily be explained: the Bermuda Triangle, Area 51, the ingredients in a Chicken nugget, that sort of thing. But all of these assorted mysteries fall in the wake of the most inexplicable band taking the world stage today, The Faint…“Nothing about The Faint makes any sense and that just makes them better” – Rolling Stone. A group of circa-1981 synth-pop fanatics from the wilds of Omaha, Nebraska, The Faint act as if time stopped the moment Duran Duran broke big or "Tainted Love" was omnipotent.
Sounding like MC5 trying to kill funk-ridden big beat with their laptops, The Faint have developed into a keyboard heavy, new wave juggernaut, combining dance rhythms, heavily distorted guitars, and an almost industrial-like grind to create seductive odes to sex, death, and all that falls between. Their intelligently provocative punk electro pop is pulsing and melodic, throbbing and hypnotic yet they still manage to create order in their sonic chaos.
In what will be the bands second only trip to Australia and with the pending release of their fifth studio album, ‘Fasciination’, prepare to brush your hair in your face, stiffen that collar, lose that facial hair and step back 20 years – into the present with The Faint!
