Fade

At least five artists use the name Fade: 1. An industrial rock band from England formed in 2004. The band started out in the town of Bolton and then went onto playing famous venues such as Academy in Manchester. The band continue to tour growing a larger fan base every time. In 2007 the band were signed to a small independent label called Project 90 Degree. The singer, Daniel Wolstenholme, continues to promote the label. The rest of the band (Pete Bottomley, Russ Greenhalgh, Matthew Knight and Jared Thompson) put their effort not only into the band but into running of the label. 2. A progressive house/trance project from Chris Fortier and Neil Kolo, active through the 90s/early 00s. Responsible for a string of well known releases, such as Heaven To Heaven, So Good and their remix of Delerium - Silence. 3. Fade, a now defunct Death/Thrash band from the city of Vadodara in the western Indian state of Gujarat. Formed in 2006, Fade released a demo album and only album titled "The Demo", which was produced and released by the band on its own. Fade changed its name to The UnderGods and later split. The UnderGods are now known as The Rubber Band. International Metal Music magazine The Right Hand Path has review of "The Demo", probably the one and only review on the Internet 3. A Chinese-American lounge singer from China. 4. An Australian clog-dancing group, well-known around the Byron Bay area. They employ a cast of singers to accompany their dances, including such classics as "River Dance" and a "Greensleeves" techno remix. 5. Having shared a stage with FURTHER SEEMS FOREVER and MAE in the past, fade is a 5-piece band from Japan, the band which continues to be an eclectic and unrivaled melange of east and west, and a front runner in the Japanese contemporary rock scene. This band’s strength and scope is its ability to draw on the cultural duality of music and experience shared between the 5 members. Working with Jason Miller (gODHEAD), Markku Lappaleinen (ex. Hoobastank), and Erik Gregory (programming engineer, credited in Linkin Park’s remix album Reanimation) led to the release of 2 EPs. And from their 2nd EP A Moment of Truth, track Beautiful was showcased in the nationally acclaimed film "Rainbow Song," produced by Japanese cinema icon Shunji Iwaii (Swallow tale Butterfly, Picnic, etc.) in 2006.
