Band Biography[]
Jad Fair is a founding member of seminal band Half Japanese, and he's been recording solo records since 1980 -- just to keep releasing music. Jad Fair has discovered that he can make a living off his music by constantly releasing albums, so where most artists can release an album every year or two, Jad Fair will do several a year with various different collaborators. He also makes visual art, often out of paper cutouts. He has a standing offer that he will write you a song on any topic if you give him $300. Left to his own devices, however, his most frequent song-topics are monsters and love.
