The Fair Sex

German Electronic Wave and EBM band founded in 1984 in Essen. The band was born from its Post Punk predecessor "Avadon", founded by band members Myk Jung, L'O and [a855245]. After the rhythm section was replaced by [a927850] and Rascal, the band was renamed to "The Fair Sex". They recorded their first single in 1987 and their debut album in 1988. On the corresponding tour, drummer [a927850] dies during a concert in Augsburg from a heart attack on stage, which becomes a hard task for the band. The band continues without a drummer and shifts its music more to EBM. In the early 1990's, the band is a successful player in Germany's Gothic scene. In 1993, parts of the band follow the creation of side projects as the Industrial band Testify. At the end of 1995, the band breaks up. In 2000, a revival of the band in original line-up follows and lasts until 2005. A second revival of the band reforms in 2013.
