The Fanatics are a new wave band from Auckland.
History
First making a dent on the radio airwaves was Girl, also released as their first single (on 7" vinyl and sold out), followed quickly by Models, which topped the national alternative radio charts in early 2004. Dead, newly released to the b.net, has matched the success of Models, topping the alternative chart again almost immediately. The Fanatics have also found favour with a group even harder to please than radio programmers, the public, topping listener-voted b.Net radio charts around New Zealand.
Recognition came quickly, The Fanatics were nominated in several categories at the 2004 b.Net NZ Music Awards: Most Promising New Act, Best NZ Remix (the Antix remix of Girl), and Best Unreleased Song (Models). The Fanatics were also invited to perform at these awards and enthralled the audience with their chaotic, high-energy show.
The Fanatics signed to Capital Recordings and released a seven-track EP on vinyl and CD format in November 2004.
