Back in the early mid 90's Savoir Faire joined a band called the Sonic Disciples who were in it's last days. The singer was Robbie Pivara who was an old friend & wanted to change from a Ramones sound to a more Johnny Thunders/early Stones sound, you know that R&B pirate swagger. So with two packs of Lucky Strikes they went on a song writing frenzy, topics ranged from drunken romances, frayed love affairs, to wild parties on the Sunset Strip, all true Hollywood stories! They soon got in contact with Javiere Escovedo of the Zeros/True Believers and he turned them onto the record label Planet Of Noise who put out the 7" single. Only 1000 were pressed and it is now out of print! (they show up on ebay every once in a while).
They managed to cut some songs on no budget when this single was recorded. "Everything Is You" & "Shake Appeal" (not the Iggy song) were written before Savoir joined the band and he only appears on side B, because side A was actually recorded by the OG Sonic Disciples lineup. Anyway Side B (Shake Appeal) is Savoir Faire's first appearance on a record. He plays the lead guitar & is credited as Tony Hi-fi! We will write more on the Fancy Lads recordings in upcoming blogs.
R.I.P. Robbie your influence is ever present!
