Electronic pioneer Fad Gadget, aka Frank Tovey, who alongside Human
League, Cabaret Voltaire and The Normal, was at the forefront of the
Electronic Movement of the late 70s/early 80s, plays a headline show
at The Garage in London on Friday the 18th of January as part of a
short European Tour.
The date follows successful shows last year as special guests of
Depeche Mode on their "Exciter" Tour and the release of "The Best Of
Fad Gadget" which features 30 tracks including all the original
singles and B-sides together with brand new and rare remixes.
The first signing to the Mute label, Fad Gadget released his debut
single, the ground breaking, 'Back To Nature' in October 1979.
Recorded using a drum machine and synthesiser a string of classic
singles followed including 'Ricky's Hand', 'Fireside Favourites' and
'Collapsing New People'. A truly unique artist his live shows were
legendary and quickly established Fad Gadget as one of the most
exciting acts of the time.
After four critically acclaimed albums, "Fireside Favourites"
(1980), "Incontinent" (1981), "Under The Flag" (1982), and "Gag"
(1984), Tovey dropped the Fad Gadget name and recorded a further
five albums for Mute under his own name throughout the '80s and
early '90s. He continued to experiment with many different styles,
mixing electronics with Rock, Punk, Folk and Dance Music with
amazing results and is recognised as one of the most influential
acts of the last twenty years.
He recently toured Europe with label mates Depeche Mode on the
Exciter tour and was working on new material at the time of his
death.
Frank Tovey aka Fad Gadget died on Wednesday 3rd April 2002 at his
home in London

MORAL DiSCLAiMER: We are very aware of the fact that our releases
contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
Unfortunately our style primarily targets small, independant labels
that need sales to survive.

sites or P2P tools; if more and more receive their music from the net,
artists and labels will have to face even less sells than nowadays.
Please do not consider this release as a substitute to the original, but
only as a way to check out and learn about new music.
We absolutely do not approve of DJs or other individuals that earn
money from pirated music - Don't let them get their hands on it!
By buying the albums you like you disperse the guilt we feel by
releasing this music - Enjoy the music and be fair with the artists!
YOUR support is required to keep them financially alive and producing!
