The Fauves are are a wonderful band that hail from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia.  The band is best known for its string of catchy mid-late 1990s pop/rock singles such as Dogs Are The Best People, Self Abuser, Bigger Than Tina, Celebrate the Failure and Give Up Your Day Job.  However, the Fauves have actually been around since the late 1980s, and the band is still releasing music today.
