Show notes for episode 41 on The Fauves
The episode title came from their song Celebrate the Failure. That song is a very political one. I’m using it in more of a loveable loser way.
The full 15 Minutes to Rock doco is here. It looms a bit too large in their legend. But no one else had a film crew follow them around in their prime in the 90s.
It’s only 50 odd minutes. Vanessa, please re-edit this with more footage, new talking heads and make a career spanning doco please.
There are no other Fauves books. They aren’t even mentioned in some key books about the period.
