1. Formed by two Philippines-born-California-raised sisters, guitarist June Millington and bassist Jean Millington - the group, initially known as Wild Honey, was completed by drummer Alice de Buhr and keyboardist Nickey Barclay. (A famous rumor to the contrary, the name Fanny was not given to them by George Harrison, but selected by the band members.) Supporting themselves for years by gigging at bars, clubs, fraternities, and armed forces bases in the late '60s, opening for such bands as The Doors, Fanny were signed to Reprise Records in 1969 after a concert at the famed Troubadour club in Los Angeles.
Fanny were influenced by The Beatles, Cream, Badfinger and Little Feat (whose leader, the late Lowell George, would become one of the band's most trusted friends). Producer Richard Perry (known for his work with Carly Simon) would oversee the band's first three albums, including Fanny Hill, notable for having been recorded at London's Abbey Road studios with Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick. Fanny's final album for Reprise, Mother's Pride, was produced by Todd Rundgren.
2. Fanny is the alias of Winnipeg, Manitoba breakcore producer and Scottish expatriate Frasier Runciman.
Fanny began his musical career in the 1980s at the end of the British punk rock explosion, playing guitar for bands in Edinburgh. He used influences from The Banshees to Def Jam, Stravinsky to P-Funk. This playing style brought him to the attention of local punk rock legends The Exploited, whom he joined in 1993. Frasier toured Europe and South America as guitarist of The Exploited and is featured as "The Human Bone" on the Live In Buenos Aires concert tape. He also co-wrote and recorded the "Beat the Bastards" LP but quit the band before the album was released, so he wasn't credited for it.
Frasier left Scotland to play in the Canadian funk rock band Bootsauce and moved to Montreal. Afther the band fell appart Frasier stayed in Winnipeg. By this time he was tired of guitars and rock and having new musical ambitions and visions he returned to the sampler experiments that he first began in the eighties. He traded in his guitars for synths and a PC and released a house CD titled "Come and Get It Up Yer".
When he met Aaron Funk Frasier discovered a new musical direction and changed his musical direction towards breakcore. Weekend trips to Wisconsin and the legendary barn parties in East Troy pushed him further in this direction. It was there that he met Destro from Zod record and Eiterherd from Widerstand and plans were made to release his new tracks.

June, Jean, Alice and Nickey deserve way more credit than was offered at the time. I’m so glad these videos exist. They certainly prove what we fans know - this foursome was a force of nature.
@muffs55mercury61
Such a loss in that they never really got the chance to show their stuff all that often. Fortunately other footage survives, too.
@tonyp3475
Holy SHIT!!!! I don't understand. I grew up in the 70s, where the heck were these incredible musicians. I just watched a whole hour PBS anthology about them the other night. Now, I am totally doing discography and pulling them back up. Absolutely Amazing! I mean, the beats and the lead guitar, drums and keyboards, the entire spectrum. And I can Hear so much that other bands copied from them. No, ladies and gentlemen..this should be Rocka & Roll Hall of Fame inductee material. I love their vibe and sound. Someone has to get them into the Hall of Fame. Cant stop my toes tapping and the fingers drumming.
@academyofshem
They were ignored by the nancy-boys at Rolling Stone magazine.

First, I’m no sound engineer or professional musician, but the mixing and production quality of these Beat Club videos just blows me away. You hear every instrument, every vocal, every nuance; all over crappy YouTube compressed video and phone speakers… phenomenal!
@thirdbase6870
Beat-Club was aces.
@judex3226
I agree 100% phenomenal sound!
@lp5920
@JUDEX This is phenomenal sound by Beat Club, June remixed it & posted on their website! I think she upped the sound quality as if that was even possible as BC did a fantastic job!
