On September 20th, The Fab Faux will celebrate their 10th Anniversary with a performance of The Beatles' 'Psychedelic Years'. The "PSYCHEDELIA!" concert, at New York City's historic Radio City Music Hall, pays tribute to one of the most fertile and far-reaching periods in the history of Pop music: Beginning with the "Paperback Writer"/"Rain" single through the all-time classic Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band albums; the groundbreaking "Penny Lane"/"Strawberry Fields Forever" &  "All You Need is Love" singles; The Yellow Submarine sessions & Magical Mystery Tour EP; all the way to "Across the Universe," The Beatles' creative output from 1966 to 1968 marked a sea change in the evolution of music as we now know it.  
     
For those of us who never got to see The Beatles perform live, we're fortunate to have five of the best musicians around – The Fab Faux – dedicate themselves to faithfully recreating some of the most extraordinary music ever written.
 
The 10th Anniversary concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York represents additional milestones for The Fab Faux – their largest headlining concert ever, and their largest New York concert-to-date as well. It supersedes last-year's sold-out Sgt. Pepper's concert at The Beacon, which garnered a wave of critical attention (see coverage, below). "PSYCHEDELIA!" tickets go on-sale at Noon on June 7th.  An exclusive American Express Pre-Sale begins at Noon on June 2nd, and will end at 10pm on June 6th.
 
The Fab Faux will utilize Radio City Music Hall's famed antique pipe organ as part of their performance, and will also present a psychedelic light show, projected onto three screens within the Hall. The band will be joined by The Hogshead Horns, Crème Tangerine Strings and Erin Hill on harp.

The Fab Faux brings together the talents of five of New York's most respected musicians: Will Lee of Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Vivino of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Rich Pagano, who has performed with Rosanne Cash and Ray Davies, Jack Petruzzelli, who tours with Joan Osborne and Rufus Wainwright, and Frank Agnello, whose musical credits include Phoebe Snow and Marshall Crenshaw.
