Jad Fair

In 1974, with his brother David, Jad Fair co-founded the lo-fi alternative rock group Half Japanese. Over the ensuing four decades, Half Japanese released over 30 records, and in the process, attracted a solid base of fans passionate about the band’s pure, unbridled enthusiasm for rock and roll.

Jad also performs and records as a solo artist, and occasionally collaborates with such musicians as Danielson, Daniel Johnston, Teenage Fanclub, Moe Tucker (of Velvet Underground), Yo La Tengo, Steve Shelly and Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth), John Zorn, Kramer, and more.

Jad’s talent for album cover design (he designed many of Half Japanese’s and all of his own solo album covers) led Jad to a second career as visual artist. His simple, joyous drawings and intricate complex paper cuttings are shown in galleries around the world. Books of his artwork have been published in the U.S., UK, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Portugal and Japan.
