Bio
...... THE FAIR SEX was founded in late 1984 in Essen/Ruhrpott/Germany/Europe. Their original line-up existed until 10th of september 1988:.. .. Lo (guitar) .. Myk (voice).. Blonder (keyboards).. A.Bang (drums) .. Rascal (bass/vox).. .. Originally THE FAIR SEX was a band of exclusively hand-made music with no synths, sequencers, drum machine etc. Throughout the years, electronic particles in their sound grew stronger. THE FAIR SEX then found their very own, most unique way to combine guitars and electronics, to mingle EBM and Gothic, Wave and Rock elements. Already in their early phase (1985) they gave first concerts and launched some underground hits (such as "Bushman") in local clubs. .. In 1986 they discovered the theorem of The Black Anger - which somewhat became their ideology. In 1987 they released their first maxi-singles "Divine Service" (March) and "Bushman" (October) followed up in February 1988 by "The House Of Unkinds", their debut-album (all Last Chance Records). During 1988, the TFS-sound grew darker and more aggressive - finally resulting in the gloomy album called "Demented Forms", their second album (produced by Ramon Creutzer). .. This dark opus was being planned to be released in November 1988, but the death of A. Bang on the 10th of September in 1988, on stage in Augsburg, brought about a sudden break in the band-history - signifying the end of THE FAIR SEX's first phase. 1989 marked the beginning of a long search for new identity, and the whole year of 1990 was devoted to this search as well. .. In 1991 finally the return of TFS was launched - with the release of two CD´s ("Bite Release Bite" and "Oddities") and two MCD´s ("Alaska/ Outraged And Moved" and "Toys"). All these pieces were produced by Trik3 for Our Choice Records. Moreover THE FAIR SEX gave numerous, still well remembered concerts. 1991/ 1992 was the peak of their career. In 1992 also "Spell Of Joy" was released. .. THE FAIR SEX made a break which lasted more than one year in order to work exclusively at Testify, the Industrial Metal sideproject. The line up here is completed by TFS live sound engineer Mathias Black, guitar player Moses W. and, shortly afterwards, guitar player Kullf. .. In 1994/1995 TFS returned with "Labyrinth", a Big Cyber Opera, an impressive Fantasy-work of despair and hope and with the new live-crew (Moses W., guitar/ Lydia, guitar / Miss Bliss, vocals, Stefan Kaiser, keyboards). .. After the tour in 1995 THE FAIR SEX split. .. The members started to work exclusively on side-projects such as Nice Gods Bleed, 1 AM and Testify. .. In 1999 the original members came together again. First demo-takes were gathered on "Under Unveiled Sun", an unreleased mini-album. In 2000 first test-gig-activities were celebrated, and finally in 2001 THE FAIR SEX had their real live-comeback (Wave Gotik Treffen, Leipzig). .. The festival appearance at Herbstnächte in Glauchau 2001 is followed by intense working on new songs. Headquarter of the following productions is now Mathias Blacks Killing Sound Research-Studio. .. In winter 2001/2002 Testify guitar player Kullf joins the inner circle of TFS musicians. .. The single "Lost Traces Of The Far Side" is released in March 2002 on the brandnew label Endless Records. End of March/beginning of April 2002 THE FAIR SEX join the line-up of "Festival Of Light & Darkness 2002". Together with GIRLS UNDER GLASS and NCOR 8 shows in Germany happen. Afterwards the band and Mathias Black continue working on the new album which is released August 2002. .. The new album Album "TFS" kills! Relentlessly good reviews, enthusiasm about the reunion of the underground heroes, dancing crowds. Many reactions confirm that "TFS" might be the strongest work in the whole THE FAIR SEX discography. "TFS" reached 3 in the German Alternative Charts (DAC). .. THE FAIR SEX present the new material successfully during "Legends United II" Tour with THE INVINCIBLE SPIRIT and PSYCHE in September 2002 receiving an overwhelming reaction of the audience. .. The first result of further activities is a remix E.P. including 4 versions of "Get Out Off My Head". Created in cooperation with Tim Schuldt, Michael Zöller, Ramón Creutzer, Sir Raze and Rascals new projekt Rotersand this limited release is exclusively spread as promo among DJs and as give-away. .. The first part of a best of compilation entitled "Thin Walls - Part I" is released in June 2003. "Thin Walls-Part I" takes us back to the early Nineties, for its selection is based on the three classical TFS works "Bite Release Bite" (1991), "Spell Of Joy" (1992) and "Labyrinth" (1995) which are no longer available since years. It also includes a fresh, unreleased track and rare videos. .. 2003/2004: During various festivals (GothAM, Amsterdam / Wave Gotik Treffen, Leipzig (headliner position) ) and single shows the band presents their timeless classical songs as well as the new material with impressing performances. The extended live-crew, acting in a kind of rotation, consists of Lawrence (guitar) and &150; again &150; Lydia (bassguitar). .. M'era Luna-Festival gig 2004 proves the quality of the new live line up. .. THE FAIR SEX and THE INVINCIBLE SPIRIT start a cooperation in summer 2004. As THE INVINCIBLE SEX the bands release a first self titled mini album, released in autumn 2004. .. At the same time both bands greatest hits (THE INVINCIBLE SPIRIT "Anthology" and THE FAIR SEX "Thin Walls - Part II") albums get into the stores. The 2nd part of THE FAIR SEX's Best-Of celebrates their 20 years anniversary with the gathering of the three first albums "The House Of Unkinds" (1988), "Demented Forms" (1989) and "Oddities" (1986-89). .. In Spring 2005 THE INVINCIBLE SEX premier live performance takes place at Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig. .. .. At the moment TFS members are involved in different other projects.
