  • The Faint is an American indie rock band. Formed in Omaha, Nebraska, the band consists of Todd Fink, Jacob Thiele, Dapose, Joel Petersen and Clark Baechle. The Faint was originally known as Norman Bailer and included Conor Oberst (of Bright Eyes, with whom the Faint toured in 2005). He quit shortly after the band was formed, though the Faint continued to share a spot with Bright Eyes on Saddle Creek Records. Growing up, Fink, Petersen, and Baechle skateboarded in their free time until Fink developed knee problems, which shifted their hobbies towards making music. The band originally consisted of Clark Baechle, Todd Fink (formerly Todd Baechle), and Joel Petersen. They signed to Saddle Creek Records and released a few singles, but were unable to establish widespread sales. After adding Matt Bowen, the Faint released Media. While touring, Bowen left and was replaced by Jacob Thiele. The next album, Blank-Wave Arcade, had a more dance and techno influenced sound and was an underground hit. Partway through the creation of Danse Macabre, the Faint added Dapose, a death metal guitarist formerly of LEAD. Their next album, released in 2004, was called Wet from Birth. In May 2008, the Faint announced that they had split from Saddle Creek and that their fifth studio album would be self released under their own blank. wav imprint. The album, entitled Fasciinatiion, was released on August 5th, 2008 in the U.S. The first single from the album is "The Geeks Were Right" which was released on Boys Noize Records. It was also announced that the band would tour North America with British electronic group Ladytron during the spring. Their song "Mirror Error" was also featured on season two of US television drama Gossip Girl, and other songs of theirs have also been featured in episodes of .
  • The Faint ist eine auf dem Label Saddle Creek beheimatete Band, die Synthieklänge mit tanzbaren Beats vereint und den Wave der 80er mit modernen Sounds auffrischt. Mitglieder sind Todd Fink (ehemals Todd Baechle, mittlerweile Ehemann von Orenda Fink, Musikerin bei Azure Ray), verantwortlich für Gesang und Synthesizer, dessen Bruder Clark Baechle (Schlagzeug), Joel Peterson (Bass), Jacob Thiele (Synthesizer) und das neueste Mitglied Dapose (Gitarre). Nach dem eher traditionellen Indierock-Album "Media" (1998) gingen sie mit ihrem Zweitwerk "Blank-Wave Arcade" (1999) den Schritt zur Elektronik. Inhaltlich geht es häufig um Sex (die Lieder haben Titel wie "Worked Up So Sexual", "Casual Sex" oder "Sex Is Personal") und die düsteren Seiten der menschlichen Existenz ("Sealed Human", "The Passives"). Mit ihrem dritten Album "Danse Macabre" (2001) entwickelten sie sich vom Insider-Tipp zu Hoffnungsträgern für tanzbaren Electroclash und spätestens mit ihrer CD "Wet From Birth" (2004) haben sie sich auch in Europa eine größere Fangemeinde geschaffen. Unter anderem ist dies auch ihren intensiven Liveauftritten zu verdanken, bei denen Videoinstallationen die Musik untermalen und die Konzerte zu einem Gesamtkunstwerk machen. Im Mai 2008 gab The Faint bekannt, dass sie sich vom Label Saddle Creek getrennt haben und das Album Fasciinatiion unter eigenem Label (blank. wav) produzieren.
