New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Beacon Theatre) On October 29th at The Beacon Theatre in New York City, The Fab Faux will perform The Beatles' seminal 'MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR', live, in its entirety, from start-to-finish. Featuring such legendary tracks as 'All You Need Is Love,' 'I Am The Walrus', 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and more, 'Magical Mystery Tour' was the No 1 album in the United States for eight weeks. The event marks the first time The Fab Faux have performed 'Magical Mystery Tour' in New York City.
Tickets are available now, via https://www.bowerypresents.com/event/46407. The concert will also feature The Hogshead Horns, The Creme Tangerine Strings and Fab Faux performances of other Beatles hits.
For those of us who never got to see The Beatles in concert, we're fortunate to have The Fab Faux dedicate themselves to faithfully recreating some of the most extraordinary music ever written. The band brings together the talents of five of New York's most respected musicians: Will Lee of Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Vivino of the 'Conan' show, Rich Pagano, who has performed with Rosanne Cash, Ray Davies and released a solo effort Blurt Magazine described as 'one of the best albums of 2009,' Jack Petruzzelli, who has toured and recorded with Joan Osborne, Patti Smith and Rufus Wainwright, and Frank Agnello, whose musical credits include Phoebe Snow, Marshall Crenshaw and Joey Molland of Badfinger.

Best-selling Rock Critic and Sirius Radio Host Dave Marsh, said: "The Fab Faux have the hardest job in the history of R & R and they pull it off damn well. All rock bands want to be like the Beatles; these guys have the nerve to BE the Beatles. Amazingly, they're so good at it you learn new things about the originals."

Late last year, Rolling Stone, Huffington Post, New Yorker 'On the Horizon', WFUV, The NY POST Fall Arts Preview, Time Out NY, RELIX Magazine, USA TODAY, Metro NY and other key outlets weighed in, as Radio City Music Hall became the setting for an epic three-hour concert by The Fab Faux --'A Night In The Life - A John Lennon 70th Birthday Celebration.' The 9/25/10 event featured two sets of John Lennon's greatest music from The Beatles and his solo career.
A portion of the evening's proceeds benefited 'Spirit Foundation' - a charitable foundation set up by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Prior to the show, the band was honored to receive a personal note and bouquet of flowers from Yoko Ono.
Rolling Stone's David Fricke reviewed the event for his 'Alternate Take' blog, and praised: 'The three-hour show was a daring and appropriate zigzag through the two Lennons inside nearly every song: the seeker and the realist.'
The Huffington Post previewed the show, and buzzed: If 'you want to blow your mind to smithereens...there is literally no group of musicians that could pay better tribute to this man and his musical legacy.'
WFUV's John Platt reviewed the concert for his blog: 'Instead of shtik they rely on their amazing musicianship to take the performance beyond slavish imitation to inspired heights. All five can sing lead, harmonize beautifully, and play multiple instruments.'
The concert also featured The Hogshead Horns, The Creme Tangerine Strings and The Nutopia Choir. Special Guests THE QUARRYMEN appeared as well.

ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE named the band as #18 on a list of the '40 reasons to get excited about music.' Rolling Stone also praised: 'sometimes a tribute band sounds better than the original.' In a live concert review, THE WASHINGTON POST's John Kelly blogged that the band had tackled "the task of reverse engineering the Beatles' late catalogue, obsessively learning every guitar figure, every drum fill, every lush harmony, every tap of the cowbell and shake of the tambourine, until the songs could be played in concert." THE HUFFINGTON POST raved: "They do the one thing, no amount of officially sanctioned Beatles merchandise can do... bring The Beatles music back to life."
The Fab Faux's Jack Petruzzelli appeared live on FOX-TV in Washington, D.C. to discuss the band's approach to recreating the albums of The Beatles, note-for-note. Watch the segment, here:

The John Lennon 70th Birthday concert marked The Fab Faux's return to Radio City Music Hall, following their sold-out 10th Anniversary event, during which they delivered a 36-song marathon performance that began with 'Magical Mystery Tour' and ended three hours later with 'Hey Jude' -- with the audience of more than 6,000 people on its feet. Their 10th Anniversary 'Psychedelia!' concert was The Fab Faux's largest headlining concert ever, their largest-ever sold out concert, and their largest NY concert-to-date as well.

The Fab Faux are now in a league of their own, consistently performing music that The Beatles themselves never played live. Beginning with a pair of concerts at Webster Hall in late '07, the band has reached a new level of fan support as well as media awareness, with growing coverage including ABC-TV World News Tonight with Charles Gibson, NPR, Rolling Stone, Associated Press, Reuters Newswire, NY-1 News, The New York Times, NY Post, New Yorker, NY Sun, Hollywood Reporter, Time Out NY, The Nation and much more. An NPR Morning Edition segment (https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18342562 ) praised the group as a "Collective that's about attention to detail." A Front Page feature in The Hollywood Reporter noted: "After nearly 10 years together, (they) find themselves in the midst of a surprising leap from club fringe to center stage..." Critics have weighed in, and have described the band as nothing less than "Brilliant" (AP). A live concert review in THE NATION.com described their show as "Almost magical."
