Gang Of Four have been playing gigs in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Entertainment! (one of the cornerstones of all postpunk music), and have 4 more shows scheduled in the UK this month. They recently offered up this redux of the track "Glass." This is slower and more ominous than the original. Listen...

Faux Hoax - "Your Friends Will Carry You Home" Pastiche means many things. Okay so Faux Hoax's "Your Friends Will Carry You Home" sounds like a pastiche of the music of BARR . And Faux Hoax are themselves literally a pastiche - pasting together members of Gang of Four (Dave Allen), Menomena (Danny Seim), Tracker (John Askew) and in this case vocalist Adam Gnade. But life is a pastiche, an agglomeration of moments, most of them arbitrary, disconnected. "You will get drunk / and you will get sad / and they will [...]

Pronounced "Folks", Faux Hoax is a mysterious experimental band consisting of Danny Siem (of Menomena), Dave Allen (of Gang Of Four), John Askew (of Tracker), and sometimes features Joe Haege (of 31Knots) and Adam Gnade (of Asthmatic Kitty). When I first saw that his was a Danny Siem project I jumped on it because Menomena is the shiznit. As one would expect from a group of eclectic artists like this, the music is odd, experimental, but rooted in rock somewhere. In fact Faux Hoax's music really combines many of the aspects of all the respected bands that each [...]

Ok, here's the thing. At the Ripple, we're proud to confess our membership in the Dave Allen Groupie Club. Whether his pioneering work with Gang of Four , his funk blow-outs with Shriekback , his big sound swamp rock with King Swamp , or any of his other projects, Dave Allen never fails to amaze, entertain, and some times boggle our minds. With that lead in, we're thrilled to learn that Polyvinyl Records released Dave's new project, Faux Hoax , "Your Friends Will Carry You Home," on May 19, 2009. [...]
Faux Hoax consists of Dave Allen of Gang Of Four (and Pamplemoose ), Danny Seim of Menomena , and John Askew of Tracker (plus friends). The group from what I understand is a bit of an experiment and doesn't quite sound like what you would expect from a Gang Of Four+Menomena+Tracker supergroup. Listen...

You can't really look anywhere without at least hearing someone mentioning Passion Pit and their debut titled Manners . I'm not exactly on the bandwagon quite yet, as I still think the lead singer's falsetto makes me want to pull my hair out. But for the most part, the music itself is catchy and that can make the difference in some instances. From the singer-songwriter side of the spectrum, you're in luck, as a few well-known names have new albums out this week including John Vanderslice and Iron & Wine [...]
Polyvinyl just sent out some information about this new project/band Faux Hoax which is set to release an EP on the label. The new group is a recording project from Danny Seim ( Menomena ), John Askew ( The Dodos / Tracker ), and Dave Allen ( Gang of Four ). Vocal and lyrical collaborations were also done with Joe Haege ( 31 Knots / Tu Fawning ) & writer Adam Gnade. The star studed cast have worked on this project for over 2 years and are now ready to release 3 song EP Your Friends [...]
Faux Hoax (pronounced "Folks" because otherwise we'd have to associate it with the unfortunate faux-hawk hairstyle) is Gang Of Four's Dave Allen and Menomena's Danny Seim, along with fellow Portlanders from Tracker and 31Knots. "Foxworthy," from the group's debut seven-inch Your Friends Will Carry You Home (out on Tuesday via Polyvinyl), is as free-form as [...]
While the equation above results in a silly name and a sillier idea, the factors and the endgame is no joke. Members of Menomena and Gang of Four (new school vs. old school dance off!) unite as Faux (pronounced, for some unknown reason, as 'Folks') Hoax. The band consists of Danny Seim of Menomena and Dave Allen of Gang of Four, with help from John Askew (Tracker), Joe Haege (31Knots) and Adam Gnade. The group's 7-inch debut, Your Friends Will Carry You Home , is due next Tuesday (May 19th) via Polyvinyl . [...]

The great Dave Allen of Gang of Four, Danny Seim (Menomena) and John Askew (Tracker) have a new project: Faux Hoax, crazily pronounced "Folks". The Portland trio are creating a canvas of lyrics and music onto which all sorts of collaborators will make their stamp as well, birthing an experimental-style approach that challenges the conventional idea of a band. A rotating cast of members will basically perform or accompany songs written by the core trio. Who could resist a lil listen to the song "Hippies Will Rule", of their first (and maybe only?) release on Polyvinyl [...]
