Biography

Favez started out in 1990 as Favez Disciples (Chris W., Guy B. and some other nice guys), the name an homage to the character portraying Steve McQueen’s mechanic in the 1971 film “Le Mans”. Nothing happened until they changed drummers in 1992. They released their first record (“And the World Don’t Care”) in 1993, in Switzerland only. They changed drummers. They released their second record, an ep called “Arrogance” in 1995. Big local success, gigs in Germany, Holland and Belgium with Scottish band Gun. Nothing else happened. Third album (“The Eloquence of the Favez Disciples”) in 1997, they toured Canada with Montreal band Grim Skunk, Fig joined the band to play third guitar, nothing happened, drummer quit, in comes the mighty Freddy M. to fill the stool, name changes to FAVEZ, things start to look up. At first, Fred can’t hit all that hard, so the band records an acoustic album in 1998 (“A Sad Ride On the Line Again”) and stuff actually happens. Favez get a three album contract with Stickman Records (for Europe) and Doghouse Records (for the USA and Japan). German tour with Fireside. New album in 2000 (“Gentlemen Start Your Engines”) recorded with John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Patti Smith, Mark Lanegan, etc…) at WaterMusicRecorders (GirlsvsBoys, Noir Desir, Jawbox, etc…) in Hoboken NJ.

    Here is what I found on their Facebook page :) "Hello everybody ! We traveled all day from Lausanne to Wales to reach to magnificient Monnow Valley studio where we're about to start the recording of our next album. We're working with the great Andrew Scheps and cannot wait to begin the takes tomorrow."

    Favez is SO damned good! I saw them open a show for Brandtson when they toured the States back in 2000 (@ the Fireside Bowl, Chicago, IL) , for Gentlemen, Start Your Engines, and they were phenomenal. I remember talking with them at the merch. table after they played, and we were all asking them why they chose to sing in English, instead of German, and I'll never forget the response "well, to us, rock is an American invention...it'd be almost sacrilegious to us, to sing it in any other language." I was like "fuckin' A right, bro!" hahahaha
