Fang
ang's first EP (Employee of the Month 1999) and the first album THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES(2000) contained the tracks Employee of the Month (bFM Top Ten No.1), Disphoria and a number of other b-net favorites. It was a lo-fi, hi - energy blast of quick fire songs, described by one reviewer as about technology, cool people and getting back to nature, tongues firmly planted in cheek. Other reviews were positive echoing the sentiment that Fang were a promising outfit. The original line up was Sonya Waters, Andrea Holmes and Ben Howe.
During 2001-2002 Fang set to work on their second album called SOMEWHERE OUT THERE . They also recruited guitarist Francis Hunt (The Stereo Bus, Sleepers Union and other bands) on guitar, who was eventually replaced by Steve Reay (The Subliminals), who played the guitar on Somewhere Out There. The album was released at the end of 2002 to excellent reviews.
It was described variously as a departure and a daring imaginative and accomplished trip into other musical atmospheres or shiny and impressive. In the year following the release of the album Fang played numerous gigs around New Zealand with Bob Mould, the Chills, the Phoenix Foundation, Pine, Ghostplane, SJD, and numerous other shows.
On August the 2nd 2004 they released their third album SWIM UP STREAMFang - Somewhere Out There

Their second album is a leap into something more distinctive - a spookier, swampier, and slinky territory which makes for a satisfying album of mildly unsettling, bittersweet pop songs - NZ HERALD
