Members: Dave Szolwinski
Info:
F-face was founded in 1990 by Dave Szolwinski, proprietor of Milwaukee record store Earwaves. A man with a vision, he culled the members of the band from the numerous eclectic personalities that frequented his store, eventually settling into a more or less stable lineup feat. three drummers (no cymbals or snare drums allowed), two guitarists, a bassist and a scrap-metal percussionist, with Szolwinski's unique personality and vocal delivery out front.
Featuring members of legendary Milwaukee groups Die Kreuzen, Boy Dirt Car, The Crusties and others, F-face grew from its roots as a sort of percussive art experiment into one of Milwaukees most potent rock bands of the 90s. With a sound comprising raw, propulsive pounding, eddying guitars and tales of mayhem, car wrecks and alternate realities, F-face grabbed and held audiences all over the region, selling out two pressings of its single, 'Thorn', most of them the hard way: in person, after shows.
In early 1995, at the height of its powers and popularity, F-face recorded a nine-song, self-titled album that, as fate would have it, went unreleased. Contract disagreements and personality differences within the organization left the completed work unheard when the group finally disbanded in 1996.
