The Faux's first concert, on March 30, 1993, was by most accounts, a great success. The songs they sang at that first concert included “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon, “Gigolo” as performed by David Lee Roth, and “Leave It” by Yes.  Ever since that first concert, the group has tried to stay on the cutting edge of contemporary popular music, performing songs that are recognizable by and popular with a college audience. 

The Faux Paz Today
Since that first year, the Faux Paz have continued to grow in popularity throughout College Park and beyond.  The group has traveled all over the country, performing at colleges, high schools, and private events from Boston to New Orleans to Los Angeles, and everywhere in between.  The Faux have also frequently competed in the International Championships of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA).  In 2002, the group advanced to the International Finals at Lincoln Center in New York City, where they were judged one of the top four collegiate a cappella groups in North America. 

The Faux Paz have released four studio albums.  The group’s first two albums, Ends With a Z (2001) and We Steal Your Songs (2003), each garnered reviews of four stars from the Recorded A Cappella Review Board.  The group’s third album, For Lack of a Better Word, was released in July 2005.

In April 2007, the Faux released their fourth studio album, Crisis Control.  The album has received national attention, and three different tracks from the disc were selected for the national and international "best-of" compilation CDs BOCA 2008 (Best of College A Cappella), Sing IV, and Voices Only 2007.  In addition, the album was nominated for a 2008 CARA (Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award) for Best Mixed Album of the year.
