It was nice to get a mention in Adelaide's Rip It Up street press and called "Cool"

"They Might Be Giants, Dark Fair - Corner Hotel - 23 April, 2013" - The Music.com.au
"Being the support act for an overseas act, especially one with ardent fans, isn’t easy, yet Melbourne duo Dark Fair appear not to be daunted. This is admirable, especially as they have been relegated to the side stage tonight. Their brand of post-punk meets new wave, with some garage and rock influences thrown, in works well, with enough of a fresh take to make them interesting."

"Extended play" - Noel Mengel, The Courier Mail, 27/10/2012
THE DARK FAIR Penny Universe (Independent) ****
FIRST evidence of a new project from former Brisbane songwriter Kate Bradley and drummer Ellie Dunn, stripping down Bradley’s old Goodbye Horses line-up to just guitar and drums but still playing with all the feisty rock ‘n’ roll fervour of the old band. Opener Boom is intense, all jagged guitars and thunderous rhythms; Walking on the Face of Pluto weds Bradley’s cryptic lyrics to a rush of rock ‘n’ roll energy. Then Sang the Black Hole is equally danceable and a little more poppy while Some Storms Have Names shows that what they might lack in numbers they can make up with sheer attitude. Rock’s not dead yet then, it’s official. They support The Medics at the Brisbane Powerhouse on November 4.

As seen on the 1700 TV show - YouTube video of interview and performance to come
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Avant-rock/garage/electro.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
Ramona: Our EP Penny Universe. We produced this with Dave McLuney, Stuart Sikes and Magoo. Was a year in production but we got there and are really happy with the outcome. Our EP is available on iTunes and you can buy a hardcopy at our shows, and online direct from us!
When’s the gig and with who?
Ramona: We've got multiple shows actually through November. We kick off with supporting The Demon Parade on Friday November 2 at Ding Dong Lounge; then we will be at Yah Yah's on Friday November 16 supporting The Staffords; and finally supporting White Summer at Cherry Bar on Friday November 30.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
Ellie: Babes, breakups and breakdowns.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
Ellie: Because girl bands rule. Everyone knows that.
What's your favourite song, and why?
Ramona: Running Up That Hill – Kate Bush. Her vocal range, the drama. So unique. No one is like her!
Ellie: Evil – Interpol. That voice. That bass line. It gets me every time.
If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be? Ramona: The Dandy Warhols.
Ellie: Hole (with Tommy Lee as drum tech and Ruby Rose as my groupie).
How long have you been gigging and writing?
Ramona: Since my mum read my diary back in ninth grade! That's when I became cryptic!
Ellie: Officially this year after Ramona convinced me to move here from Sydney. Best thing I ever did.
Tell us about the last song you wrote.
Ramona: Ain't No Stranger To Monotony. It's about wanting to take a new route far away from monotony and the mundane. Escaping routine. I love it. It's a lot of fun to play. A bit crazy!
