The Fauves Dust Off 1997 VHS and Use It For 2024 Music Video ‘un-Australians’

The Fauves will deliver their 13th album ‘Tropical Strength’ on November 1 and as a teaser have given us a preview with the song ‘un-Australians’, featuring a video made from very old VHS footage.

The Fauves Andrew Cox says, “We have made a video tape recording for our new song, un-Australians. Don’t worry too much about the technology – it’s too complicated to explain here. There are magnets and tape and electricity, and people who say, “Let’s take 5”, although the mandated 5-minute rest period is rarely adhered to and can often extend out as far as half an hour. This video was filmed in 1997 when we toured the Northern Territory by light plane. We played shows at places like Nhulunbuy and Katherine, often* to small crowds and very poor receptions. We videoed the tour on handycam, put it on VCR and let it sit in a cupboard for 27 years. That’s why the resolution is so good. Contrary to popular opinion, VCR tapes age like fine wine and generally take at least 20 years of cellaring to look their best.”\

Check out ‘un-Australian’.

The Fauves released their first album ‘Drive Through Charisma’ in 1993. In the past 31 years there has only been one line-up change when Timothy Cleaver replaced founding bass player Andrew Dyer.

The Fauves are about to hit the road with Custard.
