│ The early eighties saw the emergence of the electronic/dance phenomenon in │
│ Europe. At the forefront of this movement were four names: Cabaret │
│ Voltaire, The Human League, The Normal, and Fad Gadget (Frank Tovey). │
│ Tovey released his first single Back to Nature in 1979 and was the first │
│ signing to Daniel Millers Mute label. Miller (as The Normal) had │
│ previously put out his own composition T.V.O.D. c/w Warm Leatherette and │
│ was thinking of starting a label when he met Tovey. As Fad Gadget Tovey │
│ played solo with a drum machine and synthesizer confusing audiences at the │
│ time used to the standard rock format. Now, obviously, the scene is │
│ radically different with electronic sounds and beat boxes being the norm. │
│ │
│ His name is quoted by Depeche Mode and Erasures Vince Clark as a major │
│ inspiration and the influence of Tovey's early experiments in electronic │
│ music can be heard in the likes of the Pet Shop Boys, New Order and all │
│ the Techno/Dance Bands of the 90s. The main characteristic of Tovey's work │
│ that distinguished him from his contempories and his followers was the │
│ quality of his lyrics. Not satisfied with singing pseudo science fiction │
│ (a la Gary Numan) or crass love songs, Tovey developed a style more akin │
│ to Dylan or Lou Reed, his black humour often confusing the punters at the │
│ time more interested in style than content. │
│ │
│ His songs 'spoke of the diseases and fears poorly hidden from view. They │
│ spoke for and against the little man, the ubiquitous civilian bewildered │
│ by the speed of events threatening to sweep him up or leave him behind. │
│ And they spoke in a variety of voices: dead pan, severe, sardonic, │
│ satirical and, finally, disarmingly sincere....' -Biba Kopf '91. │
│ │
│ Imagewise Tovey never played the pretty pop singer role preferring to be │
│ photographed by Anton Corbin covered from head to toe in shaving foam or │
│ tarred and feathered. His stage shows have often been mad acrobatic │
│ events. Where most performers remain untouchable he would purposely goad │
│ an audience, sometimes somersaulting from the stage (before stage diving │
│ became an international sport), like a latter-day cockney version of Iggy │
│ Pop his audience passing him around above their heads before depositing │
│ him back on the stage and screaming for more. │
│ │
│ After four critically acclaimed albums Tovey dropped the Fad Gadget tag │
│ and continued to make albums for Mute under his own name. Throughout his │
│ career he has influenced and been influenced by many styles, mixing │
│ electronics with rock, punk, folk, and dance music. This has inevitably │
│ made it hard to pin him down. His last two albums, for instance, featured │
│ an electric banjo which he had custom built for Paul Rodden a member of │
│ his previous touring band The Pyros. Tovey has continually toured Europe │
│ and has over the years built up strong fan base who flock to see his shows │
│ never knowing what to expect this time but always leaving stunned by his │
│ performance. │
│ │
│ The mark of a talented artist is there for all to hear in the ten albums │
│ he has created. All challenging musically, all intriguing in their lyrical │
│ content. Fad Gadget has recently come out of semi-retirement and done his │
│ first performance in six years for Elektrofest 2001 at the Mean Fiddler, │
│ London. The eagerly awaited show has left people wanting more. 'It's about │
│ time electronic music comes back to something more organic, soulful and │
│ powerful, but at the same time meaningful and songorientated.' - │
│ aquaplaning, Festival de Musique Electroniques 2001Latest news is that Fad │
│ Gadget will be realising a Best of album and will support Depeche Mode on │
│ their Exiter Tour in Europe beginning September 2001. │
