[A - People]

1. How did it all begin?

"The FAILURE experiment began in the summer of 1990. Guitarist /

vocalist Ken Andrews had been testing his 4-track recording device

in the confines of his Los Angeles home when he met Robert Gauss, a

like-minded sonic adventurer / drummer, who encouraged Andrews to

disperse his discoveries among the general population. After the

recruitment of bassist Greg Edwards, the trio honed their craft in

the Los Angeles clubs for approximately a year before they were signed

to Slash Records.

"After a brief tour for their debut release, Comfort, Gauss retired

himself from the project. Andrews and Edwards continued forward with

their vision, writing and recording their second release, Magnified,

themselves. They then brought Kellii Scott aboard the project as

drummer, and made an extensive tour of North America and Europe in

support of TOOL, exposing their live performance to a worldwide

audience for the first time.

"For the third segment of this on-going auditory analysis, the three

members of the FAILURE team purchased a portable recording studio and

rented a house/research facility somewhere in an unpopulated region

of Southern California. Instead of writing material before entering

the facility, the entire body of work was composed and recorded on the

premises. What was once thought to be a two-to-three-month process

became a seven-month journey into unexplored terrain.

"Now, with the addition of Troy Van Leeuwen as second guitarist, the

preparation is complete. The live show is ready for launch."

-taken directly from the Fantastic Planet bio

2. It seems that Failure's roster keeps changing? What's up?

After Ken Andrews, Greg Edwards, and Robert Gauss recorded Comfort,

Robert retired himself from the group. On their second release,

Magnified, Greg took care of most of the drumming, and John Dargahi

drummed for four songs: Let It Drip, Moth, Wonderful Life, and Undone.

Since Magnified, they picked up Kellii Scott on drums, and in early

1996, Troy Van Leeuwen on guitar.

3. Is this line-up of people likely to change soon?

It doesn't appear so. Kellii drummed on Failure's newest album,

Fantastic Planet, so Ken has said that he's a full-time band member.

It is likely that Troy will do the same on their next release, and

if so, he would be a full-time band member also.

4. Have any of the band members done any side projects?

Yes. Ken and Greg appeared in The Replicants, Ken has produced some

albums here and there, and, if you want to count it, Troy used to be

in a band called 60 Cycle. Also, Greg and Kellii collaborated on

Paul D'Amour's brainchild, Lusk.

a. The Replicants

Ken Andrews: lead vocals, bass, guitar, backing vocals, programming.

Greg Edwards: drums, percussion, guitar, keyboards.

Released in late 1995, this is an album of 11 cover tunes by artists

ranging from Neil Young, to Pink Floyd, to Paul McCartney, to the

Cars.

"We started doing the Replicants record right after Fantastic Planet

in the same house where we had been holed up for the last 6 months.

That took two months to make in July and August."

-Ken Andrews in an interview with SunRay DiFrancesco

b. Blinker the Star

Ken Andrews: production, engineering, mixing, percussion on #5,

backing vox on #6, keyboards on #11.

Greg Edwards: drums on #4,10,12.

Kellii Scott: hi-hat on #6, drums on #8.

"...from January to the beginning of April I produced a band from

Canada called Blinker the Star for A&M Records. Blinker is mainly

the child of a Jordon Zadorozny person who sure can write quality

song things. We had great fun recording what I believe to be one

hell of an album which is going to be called "A Bourgeois Kitten,"

I think."

-Ken Andrews in an interview with SunRay DiFrancesco

Blinker the Star's album was released on September 24, 1996.

c. Lusk

Greg Edwards: bass, guitar, keyboards, drums, vox on selected tracks.

Kellii Scott: drums on #6.

d. Ken and producing

"...in November I went to Chicago for a month and produced a record

for the band Molly McGuire. They're from Kansas City, MO and play

very well indeed. The album was recorded for indie label HitIt

Records but has since been picked up by Epic/Sony and should be

released sometime this summer. My favorite song is called Plastic

Pirates."

-Ken Andrews in an interview with SunRay DiFrancesco

Molly McGuire's "Lime" was released the same day as Fantastic

Planet, August 13, 1996.

Ken also produced Blinker the Star's album "A Bourgeois Kitten."

[see I.A.4.b]

[B - The Band]

1. What albums have they released?

Their first album, Comfort, was recorded in 1992 and released on

Slash Records. It was produced by Failure, and engineered by

Steve Albini.

Next came Magnified, recorded in 1994 by Paul Lani, produced by

Failure, and mixed by David Bianco except Let It Drip and Wet

Gravity which were mixed by Ken Andrews.

Their most recent album, Fantastic Planet, was recorded in and

around July 1995 by Ken Andrews. It was also produced by Failure

and its release had been delayed time and time again due to

various reasons. [see I.B.2]

Having difficulties finding a copy of either "Comfort" or

"Magnified?" [see IV.3]

2. I saw them in and around 1994 but hadn't heard of them again for

another 2 1/2 years! What happened in that time?

That's right. Failure toured with Tool in 1994 all over, including

Europe. Before the tour, members of Tool have called Failure a great

L.A. band.

" [...] there's a band called 'Failure' on Slash that's really amazing

but they're not getting any attention here at all because they're not

a grunge band."

-Maynard James Keenan

Since then they've become friend like and it's not uncommon to see

members of Tool at Failure shows.

After touring with Tool, they ran into some small problems with Slash

Records...

"Before we even began [Fantastic Planet], we were trying to get out of

our deal with Slash. That's why we didn't even get started until five

months after we stopped touring on the last record. We just did not

want to do another record for them; we didn't like them and they

didn't like us. But in the end they wanted us to do one more record

for them. At first, we were like, OK, let's just take the money and

make a piece of shit. So we got our budget, bought our gear and moved

into this house, and within three weeks we realized that we weren't

intentionally going to be able to make a piece of crap because it was

just too much fun to have this set-up."

"At the same time, we didn't even know what our future was with

Slash... we just started having a good time making the album. Combine

that with the fact that we decided not to prepare any material before

we went in. We were literally writing, recording, overdubbing and

mixing one song at a time."

"Their [Slash] deal with Warner had run out, so they were shopping a

new deal. When we turned the album in, we didn't know what was going

to happen. At that point, our record started circulating around town,

and within a month or so, our manager was getting calls from other

labels, which had him pulling his hair out. Slash started finding out

about it, and instead of selling us to the highest bidder, they used

us as a bargaining chip to close an overall deal that gave them the

terms they wanted. Of course, no one wanted to do that. It took them

another three or four months to realize they weren't going to get a

better deal with us."

"Finally, Warner Bros. stepped in and said they wanted the record.

Slash felt comfortable giving us to Warner Bros. because they already

had a relationship. So they got a better deal on us than the last

three bands they put over there. But they did end up letting us go."

-excerpts taken from Aidin Vaziri's interview w/ Ken Andrews

3. Has Failure made any videos?

In one word, yes.

a. Undone

"Well we did in fact make a video for 'undone' off magnified but it

only garnered regional play and local show type stuff. Its not the

greatest clip but its kinda cool."

-Ken Andrews in an interview with SunRay DiFrancesco

b. Stuck On You

Failure went to Minnesota to film it, and it is a take off of the

James Bond movie opening sequences. The one that inspired the group

to make the video the way it is was "The Spy Who Loved Me." It's very

colorful, with silhouettes and female gymnasts and the band dressed up

as agent 007.

This one made it to the vaults of MTV and most video channels

including the two in Canada. And for you trivia buffs out there,

the video was chosen as Buzzclip on one of the Canadian channels,

MusiquePlus, for its artistic accomplishment.

[C - Internet]

1. I want to talk to other Failure fans all across the world! How?

The Failure Mailing List (currently at listproc@u.washington.edu,)

is there for you to use and abuse. Started in February 1996 by Steve

Reed, it now houses 192 people as of August 1997. It's rather safe

to say that once school starts up again, the total amount of

subscribers should exceed 200 members. Two of these two-hundred+

belong to a band called Failure. To subscribe, send mail to the

above address, and in the message body, type:

subscribe failure Firstname Lastname

It's that easy. To unsubscribe, it's even easier. You don't even have

to type your name. Send mail again, to listproc@u.washington.edu,

and in the message body, type:

unsubscribe failure

And you're done.

2. I want a pretty WWW site with information about shows and bootlegs

and news! Where?

a. There is an Official Failure Page, at Warner Bros. Records. The

URL is:

~~http://www.wbr.com/failure~~

Hopefully they'll have merchandise information up soon but don't hold

your breath. We've been saying that for far too long now and there

still isn't anything there to show for it.

In the meantime... [see II.B.1]

b. The Failure Web Page (also know by its owner as The Official

Failure FAN Page) is located at:

~~http://www.failure.org/~~

Originally owned and maintained by Steve Reed, and built upon contributions

from Failure fans here there and everywhere, it was started around the same

time as the mailing list, it is the best source of Failure information.

song!

For lyrics to these songs, just look inside the CD. They're right

there. But, if for some reason you're too cheap to buy it, or

you can't find it, you can go to:

c. Where can I find lyrics?

Again, you can go to the Failure Web Page. A handful of us had

gotten the lyrics up but then Ken was kind enough to send in his

more accurate version. If you're keeping score, that would make

them the official Fantastic Planet lyrics. Go here:

~~http://www.failure.org/~~

d. Why is it called Fantastic Planet?

There is an animated movie called "The Fantastic Planet,"

directed by Rene Laloux. It won an award at Cannes in 1973,

and during, or before the recording of the album, Failure

watched it and were "inspired."

e. Talking about the song Solaris, I can hear the lyrics fine

but they don't seem to make sense to me? Where do these guys

come up with this stuff?

The song Solaris was most likely written based on the movie,

"Solaris," which is based on Stanislaw Lem's book, "Solaris."

The movie is directed by Russian director, Andrei Tarkovsky.

(1) On Tarkovsky...

"He [Tarkovsky] is known partially for his interesting and often

ingenius use of sound in film. In the book "Sound Theory Sound

Practice" by Rick Altman, Andrea Trupin has this to say about his

work:

"In [his] films, sound moves beyond its traditional role as a

secondary support for the image, at times surpassing the visual in

its ability to convey certain types of meaning. In Tarkovsky's use

of sound, meaning is produced as much through the synergism of

narrative and formal elements, both aural and visual, as well as

through the audience's efforts to establish coherence among these

elements. These efforts by the audience represent internal

struggles akin to those experienced by the films' characters."

(2) On Lem...

"The book, like most of Lem's work, deals with a number of issues

all at once:

* The futility and impossibility of attempting any

communication with alien life

* The absurdities of science and the scientific method

* Being haunted by memories

* Etc.

"The main story is about a guy who is sent to shut down a space

station that has been circling a planet that is covered by a

single life-form -- an "intelligent ocean". The Solaris project

has been going on for years and produced reams of documents, but

drawn no conclusions and no results.

"The main character has heard all sorts of crazy stories about

the planet, but pays little heed. When he arrives on the space

station, he finds only 3 remaining scientists who are all behaving

strangely. He soon finds out why -- the ocean extracts people

and images from your dreams and brings them to life on the station.

In our hero's case, its his wife, who committed suicide shortly

after they were married. Horrified, he tries to kill her a few

times, only to have her come back again and again. The worst part

is that she's NOT his wife, just a very good simulacrum (who has

no memories beyond the moment of her creation on the station).

"Anyhow, FAILURE seems to have taken this somewhat romantic

element of the story and made it the main focus of the song,

which leads me to believe it's more likely that the song is

'based' on the movie, and not the book, because the film plays up

the hero's emotional conflicts and brings in the idea that he's

been 'on a mission to escape from what [his] life has been without

[his dead wife]'.."

-Anu Kirk

f. There's a sample of some guy talking in the middle of

"Solaris," what's he saying?

The samples, which are in Swedish, are taken from a movie called

"The Sacrifice," by Tarkovsky, the same guy who did "Solaris" the

movie.

Thanks to Niklas Hrvacanin, we know it goes something like this:

"Ja, det kanske man skulle kunna om det inte var så sent,

alldeles för sent. Jag vill bli av med alltihop det här

pratandet."

Perhaps we could if it wasn't altogether too late.

God, how weary I am of this talk.

"words, words, words!"

g. What's a Smoking Umbrella?

Greg Edwards says the song is about a vivid dream he had of

his parent's house burning down. In the front hallway there

was a place where all the umbrellas were stacked against the

wall, and guess what, they were on fire.

h. How was the studio setup to record Fantastic Planet?

"Basically the studio consists of 4 ADATS, a mackie 32X8, and some

tube compressors and mic pres. The best mics I have are 2 414s. I

have many 421s, 57s, 58s, some SM81s. I used very stock micing

techniques and usually set-up two room mics about 10-20ft away

depending on the song. I used bottom mics on the snare and toms

and reversed the phase on them."

"Just before mixing a track I would often trigger some sampled

drum sounds back to the ADATS. I would then blend these with the

real sounds depending on the song and often the section of the

song. I blended drum samples on about 50 percent of the songs. A

lot of the songs sounded good without them so I didn't bother. One

thing that's cool about the ADATs and the BRC is you can track

delay any track or group of tracks. I would use this a lot to time

align the samples to the original drums to avoid any flamming and

to get the sound just how I wanted it. Also, I would sometimes

delay room mics although not often."

"The drum room was 15 by 20ft rectangle with plaster board walls

and vaulted ceilings, but had wall to wall carpeting which we

couldn't remove. We bought 4X8 sheets of formica and placed them

around the room. We also set the drum kit up on two pieces put

together. This livened things up very noticably and became the

"sound" for the record."

"I pretty much just used an Eventide H3500 w/sampling for all the

effects on the record. As I only had one I would often print

effects to tape as I went along. I really like working this way as

it cuts down on the mix time later. I'm a big fan of burn as you

go. I don't like leaving a lot decisions left until mix. When I'm

making the last overdub I'm pretty much listening to the "mix" as

it will appear. I've been tweaking it through out the overdub

process."

-sent in by Ken Andrews to the FML

[B - Shirts and Posters]

1. I want a Failure shirt! Where can I get one?

Right now they're working on getting merchandise up for sale on the

internet. If you can see Failure at a show, they are selling the three

Fantastic Planet-era shirts for a reasonable price of $15.

Another alternative is to get yourself a Failure mailing list t-shirt

created by Daanon DeCock. You can check out the shirt and its

availability at:

~~http://failure.org/m-shirts.htm~~

2. What kind of shirts are there?

There is a green shirt with a big red Failure written across the

front, and a little red Magnified on the back.

There is a black shirt with a little red/white Failure written on

the left breast pocket.

There is a green shirt with Failure written on the front with the

frog from Magnified on it. This is a popular one.

There is a black shirt with a white Failure written on the front

and that small weird creature (from Comfort) under it.

There is a beige shirt with a tiny white Failure written on the

front (top left) inside a black/green oval. The oval also contains

a planet with an orbiting ring reminiscent of the spaceman's emblem.

There is a dark blue shirt with Failure written on the front with

the spaceman from Fantastic Planet on it.

There is a sky blue baby-T with Failure written on the front with

once again the spaceman from the Fantastic Planet album cover.

3. I want a poster!

They had some posters available at their shows in late July '96,

with the frog flying in front of a galaxy in space. I haven't seen

these anywhere else besides a Failure show.

[C - Miscellany]

1. Are there any singles?

Yes. All these singles are pretty hard to come by but you might

still find some lurking around used cd stores or on the internet.

A good place to look on the internet is:

http://www.gemm.com [thanks to Jill Burkart]

a. Moth and Empty Friend

There's not much to say about these two singles other than they were

sold/given with purchase of a shirt while touring for "Magnified."

b. Stuck On You

The Stuck On You single, shaped like the spaceman's head, was

originally released as a radio-only promo. It has since been pointed

out that Tower Records is handing them out, along with a sticker,

with the purchase of Fantastic Planet. (This promotion may have

expired. anybody know?) This single exists in both shaped-head and

non-shaped-head form.

c. Pitiful

This single was only released to radio stations and to the lucky

members of the FML who received "the package."

[III] Interpretations

...........................................................................

: :

In light of "heated discussions" on the mailing list regarding

the meaning/interpretation of songs, the owners have decided to

forego any further development of this section.

There is an infinite diversity in possible interpretations, and it

would be fairly close minded to project a somewhat official take on

songs to free-thinking individuals.

:.........................................................................:

[IV] Miscellany

............................................................................

: :

1. In Magnified, both Ken and Greg are credited with guitar and bass!

"For writing purposes we switch constantly because it helps us finish

things basically. We usually start on either instrument, get most of

the song done and then when there's certain parts that we can't... we

sort of hit a brick wall as it were or something, it helps to switch

instruments. Like I'll have a bridge guitar part that I just can't

come up with something, I just give him [Greg] the guitar. But for

live there's only a few songs... I prefer to play the guitar live

unless I really can't play the part, and sing and then I play bass.

[laughs]"

-Ken in interview for Musiqueplus, May 17, 1993.

2. How was the relationship between Failure and Steve Albini during the

recording of "Comfort?"

"[Failure] was kind of disillusioned by Steve Albini, says Scott.

The record was made in 14 days, so they didn't really have time to

resolve their arguments with [Albini] and they didn't have time to

figure out 'Maybe this guy isn't for us.' Steve is a great producer.

He just didn't work for Failure."

-Kellii in an article appearing in Twitch Magazine

3. I'm having problems finding a copy of "Comfort" and "Magnified."

Where can I go? What can I do?

After the legal hassles with Slash records, the availability of both

albums have been sparse at best. From what I've heard, "Comfort" is

now available through Polygram. On the other hand, "Magnified" is out

of print according to my record store's computer.

My advice is to try your local music stores and ask them to order it

if they're not in stock. Keep in mind they might not be able to find

them in their catalogues just yet. Your next option is to search

through used cd stores and internet record store such as cdnow.

Good Luck!

4. Failure sure does have alot of equipment along with them on tour. What

gear do they use?

In fact, they've used so much equipment over the years that it'll

only all be sorted out by the time Revision 6 of this FAQ is born.

If you're just dying to know, the email address is up there.

:.........................................................................:

[V] Where Rumors Go to Die

...........................................................................

: :

1. I heard Paul D'Amour from Tool joined Failure!

He may have been playing with the band for a bit, and he may have

helped two Failure members with The Replicants, but he is currently

having nothing to do with Failure as a band. He was too busy with his

own project, Lusk, to go touring around with Failure. He did not

appear on Fantastic Planet, and he hasn't played any shows with them.

"Paul was a member of the band (Failure) for a month. He left Tool

after the Replicants record and joined us and worked a solo deal at

Zoo. But it didn't work out with us really. Well, having another

guitar player did, but Paul was so busy with the solo record that he

was not able to keep up with our demands. And more so because he was

a new guy to us in the band. It was tough and I think all of us have

been in that spot before."

- Kellii Scott in an interview with Jam! Online

:.........................................................................:

[VI] Present / Future

...........................................................................

: :

1. What are they up to now?

Failure have just finished touring with Lollapalooza; they headlined

the second stage during the second leg of the tour. They were then

bumped to the main stage after Korn had to drop-out. They still kept

their second stage slot which meant two sets a day. After they take a

well-deserved rest, they'll...

2. Do they have any new songs that haven't been recorded yet?

Nothing new yet, since they've been busy promoting and getting

promoted. They have had a bit of time to record a cover song, see

VI.4.

3. What about a video?

It'll all come down to how well Saturday Saviour does on the radio.

Pitiful had been slated to have a video but the lagging radio airplay

killed the project. Only time will tell.

4. What's this about a cover tune?

Failure recorded their own little version of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy

the Silence" for an upcoming compilation. The album should see the

light of day sometime late '97/early '98.

5. I heard "Saturday Saviour" on the radio!@#

You sure did. It was shipped as a promo single to radio stations on

07/15/97. Go and request it!
