The Fabrics are a drum and bass/swing band from Bristol, UK. They formed in 2001 with the core members of producer and saxophonist Joe Jarlett (also of Mad Nomad and The Glitzy Bag Hags), vocalist, bassist and keyboardist Alex Paradise and drummer Errol Flynn, also of The Moonflowers and CCQ. Original member Rich Whitehead left late in 2002 to be replaced by Anil Kamalagharan (now with Mirrorkicks having previously toured with Imogen Heap). Over their lifetime The Fabrics also featured Amy Jarlett (Mooz), The Glitzy Bag Hags, Keith Hall of Big Joan and jazz guitarist Jimmy Tuffrey. Signed to Riton's Switch Recordings in 2001 they released their debut Cassawanka later that year. The release was received favourably, with Sleaze Nation describing it as "Space-age Charleston ugly-funk that should by rights come with its own troupe of dancing girls wearing extravagant head dresses and sequins". |
