The Ian Fays


So after a bit of a delay I am back to you with yet another fantastic band, The Ian Fays.


If you have yet to have heard of this indie-electronica band here is what others have had to say about them in the past;


"In an ideal world, the twins, Lizz and Sara, and their band-mates would be the new princesses of pop – in the best sense of the word: simple but gorgeous melodies, toy casios..."
Panoplie Zine/Indie Compilation, Luxembourg



"The Ian Fays are among the most promising groups in the local (San Francisco) indie pop-rock community."
The Bay Bridged May 29th 2007 Episode 66


"32 minutes of lo-fi whispers and dreaming that speaks of small disappointments, loves and drinks."
MTV Italy, review of "The Damon Lessons"


Chosen Best of Bay Area bands from The Bay Bridged




After emailing back and forth with the twins, Lizz and Sara,I gained a whole new appreciation for not only the music but the musicians themselves. The band is made up of every mans dream, three hot sisters, Lena, Lizza, and Sara (two of which are identical twins) who know how to work a stage. Also on drums is good friend Bradley who they described as “best dresser ever, has a tie collection to die for”. When these four come together you never know what you are in-store for.The group has been known to dress up in matching outfits and pass candy out during their show.



If this hasn’t talked you into checking out their next show then maybe the fact that it is going to be their CD Release Party will. This next month April 17th 2008 at well known venue Bottom Of The Hill, The Ian Fays will be on stage in Catholic school uniforms and all. Other bands featured that night will be Here Here and The Catholic Comb
