& The Adorables

Henri Fabergé and the Adorables is a satirical “sprawling indie rock collective” featuring a rotating roster of performers, performing original music written by Henri Fabergé.

During his misadventures across the globe, Fabergé has collected degenerates of all sorts, taken them under his wing and forced instruments into their tired hands so that they might earn their keep. The group was initially presented as a conceptual rendition of a band, a cultural critique of the sprawling "collectives" that dominated the music scene at the time, often misinterpreted as “overly twee” “happy horseshit.” Musicians were asked to perform using instruments they were unfamiliar with or were just learning, while comedians and performance artists appeared as "characters" from the world of Fabergé. For a while, the only rehearsals were the shows themselves.

Ultimately the quality of the music and performance took precedence over the unbridled chaos, and the group self-produced an eponymous album, distributed in North America by Fuzzy Logic Recordings and re-released in Japan by Rallye Label.

The group toured Canada in support of the album, which received heavy airplay on CBC and notable blogs. They performed on MTV Live, CBC's In Sessions, CBC's Cross Country Canada, and CBC's Fuse.

They reunite once in a while to catch up with old friends and to unleash mayhem on unsuspecting new audiences.
