The Fab Faux is a musical tribute band performing the works of The Beatles. The group features Will Lee, bassist for "Late Show with David Letterman," and Jimmy Vivino, guitarist for "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." Other members include Rich Pagano, Frank Agnello, and Jack Petruzzelli. The band is committed to performing live what they feel would be an accurate reproduction of The Beatles' repertoire, oftentimes performing material The Beatles never played live. Often, the band is accompanied by a horn section (known as the Hogshead Horns) and a string section (known as the Creme Tangerine Strings) to achieve the proper sound.

Their performances in the New York City area have included The Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall, Irving Plaza, The Bottom Line, and The China Club. Their shows often have themes; one show could feature a track-by-track rendering of The White Album; the next might feature all of the Beatles psychedelic work; another will include a full survey of the band from its Cavern Club days through Let It Be. The Fab Faux has also performed a show of post-Beatle solo material.

The group was featured in a full-length profile on CNN that was broadcast worldwide. They also participated in a CD of original material by Beatles tribute bands, recorded in London at Abbey Road Studios. The group has performed multiple times in Liverpool, England, where they played three shows each year from 1999 to 2005 for that city's annual Beatle Week festivities, including outdoor concerts for over 35,000 people on the Apple-sponsored Yellow Submarine and Let It Be stages.
