The Fens have emerged from the Boston scene and the buzz is spreading fast! This young foursome’s daring blend of dark classicism and swanky mod-rock has fans turning it up and turning out all over the Northeast. The key to their appeal seems to lie in the songs themselves - lyrical and guttural, dangerously infectious, and blushing with four-part harmony. This, combined with an energetic stage show, will have you convinced: “Fens Fever” is a rock n’ roll epidemic about to happen!
The Fens in Detail:
At a glance, The Fens are a 21st century rock band that echoes over-the-top acts like The Who or Queen. It’s the kind of music that often comes with a smirk, a perverted lowbrow reference, or an outright adolescent rant. However, that's just the beginning of what the music of The Fens is really like. This group draws deeply on the sounds that most touch it‘s comprising members. So when they take the stage the ghosts of Frederic Chopin, Jimi Hendrix, and John Lennon all crawl out of the woodwork and join the witches' rave. There are folk tales of selling one's soul for fame and glory, painful narratives of long distance love affairs, and of course the occasional drunken love song to a transvestite . It's precisely this mixture of shadow and light that makes listeners feel (even amid the most youthful anthem) that there's something surreal and entrancing about The Fens and their music.

Joke

A young child says to his mother, "Mom, when I grow up I'd like to be a musician." She replies, "Well honey, you know you can't do both."
