Fol Chen
Fol Chen is a musical group from Los Angeles, CA. They are signed with Asthmatic Kitty records. The current Members are Samuel Bing, Sinosa Loa, The Booksman, Gmo, Julian Wass, and Patrik-Ian Polk. The band has "maintained utmost secrecy from the start", and frontman Samuel Bing drew a black mask around his eyes for a performance on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic in July 2009. The band wore Hamburgler eye makeup for their performance at SXSW in 2009 as well. The cover art for the two albums so far also features silhouettes, and the music video for the song No Wedding Cake features the theme of being masked by representing the band members as cartoon animals. I don't know much about the band, but you can see some live material on YouTube. This is the band's video for "Cable TV" from their debut album Part I: John Shade, Your Fortune's Made.
