CATCHING UP WITH FABER DRIVE!!

ZackTaylor.ca just got off the phone with an inside source in Vancouver, B.C. who gave us the low-down on what Faber Drive has been up to since two of their members left the band earlier this year.

Our source tells us that the band is still in the studio and their first single (coming out in 2 weeks) from their new upcoming album, Can't Keep a Secret is called G-Get Up and Dance!!  

And our insider also reports that the group's lead singer, Dave Faber will be starring in the upcoming Tron 2.0 movie - Can't wait!!

FABER DRIVE ADDS ZUBIN THAKKAR TO THE MIX!!

As we broke the news to you FIRST before, Faber Drive's lead guitarist, David Hinsley left the group.

Well, sources confirm to ZackTaylor.ca that he has been replaced by Zubin Thakkar from the band, Prize Fighter!!

The band is currently in the studio recording their second album.

SOME EXCLUSIVE FABER DRIVE NEWS...

ZackTaylor.ca can exclusively report that Canadian rock group, Faber Drive have lost ANOTHER member!!

Last year the band's drummer, Raymond "Red" Bull left the group after he got married, and now our sources confirm that lead guitarist, David Hinsley has left the group due to undisclosed reasons.

That leaves Faber, Krikit and replacement drummer Calvin "Poncho" Lechner in the group while they record their second studio album which is due out next year. Soon enough I feel like this band will turn from Faber Drive to just David Faber!!

BEHIND THE SCENES: FABER DRIVE...

I spent the whole evening last night with the boys of Faber Drive... I learnt that Krikit used to be a stripper, and found out which city the boys think have the "hottest" girls...

NUMBER 1 IN CANADA...

My favourite Canadian band, Faber Drive (been supporting them since day one) has reached the number one spot on the Much Music video countdown charts!!

Here's a clip of lead singer Faber with me all the way in Yellowknife, NWT back in August...

Their video Tongue Tied is number 1!!! Faber just text messaged me this, "Hey buddy... Guess who's #1 on Much?! To all our family, friends and fans, thank you for helping us get our 1st number 1! We luv u all!!"

A MESSAGE FROM MOMMY...

One of my favourite new Canadian bands, Faber Drive, are touring around the United States and Canada right now, and I was lucky enough to speak with the drummer's (Raymond "Red" Bull) mother today. She's so proud of her son and wanted fans all over the world to know!!

This is what she had to say...

"It's kind of surreal to see your sons face in teen magazines and on T.V. and seeing the reaction the fans have towards him and the rest of the band.  Of course I think he's cute too but thats my job to feel that way. How lucky can you be when you are only 21 years old, going to places like New York City, seeing alligators in Florida and meeting all kinds of wonderful people. He is making a life time of memories that only a very few people are able to accomplish. We are very proud of him."

Here's a video of myself backstage in Yellowknife, NWT with Red back in September...

NEW TOUR...

Skye Sweetnam and our boys from Faber Drive will be touring across Canada... here is your first look at their tour poster... kinda lame, but I love Faber Drive's music so I'll support it!!

TEAM BRITNEY!!

In the wake of Britney Spears new single, Gimme More reaching the #1 on the iTunes singles chart, our "favourite" American blogger, Perez Hilton has taken to his site to try and bring poor Britney down... by making Canada's Feist #1....

Now this would be a good thing, and it's always good to see Canadian artists do well, BUT I fuckin hate Feist's music, and everything she stands for. And having Perez Hilton support her even shows me that those two are going to wind up losers together.

Feist cannot sing, her music sucks, and so does Perez Hilton and his silly American blog...

So... join me and lets BOYCOTT Perez Hilton and Feist!!

... And if you don't like Britney Spears, than go download and support Canadian artist, Faber Drive... they fuckin rock!!
