Artist Information Biography You don't have to be a connoisseur of Italian horror movies to get where Fake Shark Real Zombie is coming from. Survive one blast-furnace performance or a visit to the bands myspace page and you'll get it the Vancouver-based act (which takes its name from a scene in Lucio Fulci's 1979 movie Zombie II) is loud, aggressive and raging, for sure. But it possesses a healthy sense of humour to go with its tectonic-plate-shifting sound as well. Since hatching a mere two years ago, Fake Shark Real Zombie has emerged as one of the West Coast's most lethal weapons. Mixing screamo vocals, spooky ska, off-kilter metal, gang vocals, and whatever else is necessary to achieve their galvanizing, electrifying ends, the group unleashes torrents of noise like 'Monday Tuesday What the Fuck?' a track featuring calypso bass-lines over torrid punk beats. The thumping, jumping 'Wolf is the New the' is all Rock Star Energy Drink rhythms and blood-curdling screams. The group's sound has earned it opening slots for acts like Mindless Self Indulgence, the Klaxons, Test-Icicles and Hot Hot Heat, where Fake Shark's polarizing show leaves audiences asking whether they've just witness the saviours of new millennium rock or if they should call a lawyer. Variously described as dance-punk, art-punk, and with comparisons to the Blood Brothers, Les Savy Fav and now-defunct NME favourites Test Icicles, the band has earned a rep for shows marked by confrontations with audience members, with each other, and with their own equipment. And, while North Americans are still catching up to Fake Shark's post-post-everything anarchy, audiences elsewhere, like the UK, have taken to the band like, well, a shark to blood. Fake Shark is especially loved in Japan, where adoring fans mob its members, and where Vinyl Junkie Records has released its debut, Zebra! Zebra! So yes, when it comes to Fake Shark Real Zombie you can imagine a battle between a shark and a zombie, as Fulci did in his classic, gore-spattered film. Or you can imagine a cage match between a Ray Harryhausen Cyclops and a Mexican wrestler, or Henry Rollins taking a wrench to Larry the Cable Guy. Either way, you're in for an experience you won't soon forget.
