Artist History Faex was formed in the summer of 2002 by the three members Ewoud, Ferdi en Thijs (hey, that's us!). We already knew each other via the music school in Capelle aan den IJssel there we played together with other musicians in a cover band. For the end-of-year concert of that same music school we three had to rehearse with some little kids for some song we were going to perform. And after that rehearsal we went to the rehearsal room for bands and we just jammed for thirty minutes. In those thirty minutes we created our first song. And we got the idea of forming a band together. We agreed to write as many songs as we could (that attempt resulted in exactly one song and some lyrics, we’re not very productive). One week later we rehearsed again in the school where Ewoud's mother teaches music (it's all in the family). After that we actually didn't rehearse until November 2002. By that time Ewoud had moved to a larger house and, more importantly, he had a drum kit. So we started rehearsing on a weekly base at Ewoud's place. We had an hour and not a minute more, because that was what we had agreed with the neighbors. However, since Ferdi usually comes in 30 minutes late, or doesn't come at all, we have an average rehearsal time of thirty minutes a week (but we are good, no really!). Until then most of our music was straightforward rock/metal. But then we had a stroke of genius! (actually, we were in a corny mood) and we played an heavy riff, followed by a jazzy piece of music. And so we dubbed our music Jazzmetal (though we're not that jazzy, or that metal, for that matter). But it was more of a mix between rock, metal, jazz, and funk. We were starting to look like a real band, but we still didn't have a name. So again in a corny (in this case you could read drunk) mood we took a Latin dictionary, and we picked a word at random, that word happened to be "Faex." Which means the following: 1) wine lees 2) sediment 3) substance for painting the face. After a name we needed a website as well, well you found it, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this (you're probably not reading this unless you have a really boring life). This website may be a bit pretentious but that doesn't matter, we are pretentious. Now all we need is music…
