FAD GADGET - LADYSHAVE

Hello and welcome back... New wave meets Industrial kind of sums up the outfit 'Fad Gadget'.
Fad Gadget is from the U.K and is the work of one person (Francis (Frank) John Tovey).
Fad Gadget blended industrial sound into his early work such as electric drills and razors, then added early synths and dark undertone lyrics to the mix.... Sort of early Depeche Mode only ...Darker

Sadly the man behind the name Fad Gadget (Frank Tovey) died back in 2002 at the age of 45 (Heart Attack)... He was working on a new album at the time of his death... R.I.P.

For me, I hadn't really gotten into Fad Gadgets music, i had heard of the name but it wasn't until a friend of mine introduced me to this track, i became hooked... Its Raw, Electronic and Moody...
Love it.
