“I’m waiting for the man” is taken from the debut E.P “One, Two, Fake You” released by Fake in 2007 and reissued in 2010. The song is originally written by Lou Reed and released on the legendary “The Velvet Underground and Nico album in 1967. All rights reserved. ℗ 2010 Sublime Exile Recordings

Almost three years in the making, “Sudden Radiance….” shows the band shaking off their major influences to create what may become one of the most compelling local releases of the year. The album features special guest performances by Anna Eklund (Sad Day for Puppets) on the single “Dreams Burn Down”; Chloe Hall; and Anna-Lynn Williams of Trespassers William.

The Fakes originally formed whilst working at a summer camp in Connecticut; the fakes spent their free time recording demos heavily influenced by bands such as Mazzy Star and My Bloody Valentine. Relocating back to Melbourne in 2004; the fakes hooked up with producer Robbie Rowlands and recorded a new demo which helped secure a Music for the future grant. Their Ep “Storm in a Teacup” was released to positive reviews and the fakes were featured as triple’s J’ radios’ Exposed band of the week.
Spending the next year working on their live show and expanding their sound; the fakes released their follow-up Ep “Little Deaths,” which highlighted a sonic leap forward. In 2008 the fakes released their debut album “I Know you are Smiling Because You are Asleep” which was released in Japan in 2009 through Happy Prince Records. “Sudden Radiance and Fantastic Collapse is the next chapter……..
