Fake Shark

Fake Shark was conceived by producer/songwriters, Kevin "Kevvy Mental" Maher and Louis Wu in September 2005, as a way of combining the styles of the bands they liked in hopes to one day open for them.https://web.archive.org/web/20071130080240/http://myspace.com/fakesharkrealzombie Having met while attending a fine arts high school in Langley, British Columbia, the pair formed "Fake Shark – Real Zombie!" shortly after graduation, and recruiting original bassist, Dan Hughes and drummer, Malcolm Holt to complete the lineup. The band's original name, being a reference to Lucio Fulci's 1979 horror film Zombi 2, where a real shark and a zombie engage in combat.{{Cite web|url=https://cameraviscera.com/2018/04/02/shark-vs-zombie-ramon-bravo-the-man-behind-the-stunt/|title=SHARK VS ZOMBIE: Ramón Bravo, the Man Behind the Stunt|date=April 3, 2018}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qc5REUpaJs|title=ZOMBI 2 "Zombie vs Shark" clip (1979) Italian Zombie|date=July 29, 2022|via=YouTube}} The group would quickly gain a cult following online and overseas after making strong connections in the United Kingdom and touring with short-lived British dance-punk band, Test Icicles (featuring a then unknown Dev Hynes),{{Cite web|url=https://canadianbeats.ca/2020/03/03/interview-fake-shark-2/|title=Interview - Fake Shark | Canadian Beats Media|date=March 3, 2020}} and eventually end up joining them on stage during their infamous final show on April 22. 2006 at the famed Astoria Theatre in London, England following their announced break-up a few months prior.https://www.nme.com/news/music/test-icicles-12-1360838#:~:text=Test%20Icicles%20played%20their%20final,their%20short%20but%20successful%20career.{{Cite web|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/kevvy/269962572/|title=london astoria|date=October 15, 2006|via=Flickr}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIjeY0MZKwQ|title=Test Icicles Last, Final Song|date=February 13, 2008|via=YouTube}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/test-icicles-9-1353721|title=Test Icicles split|date=February 22, 2006}}

In 2007, Hughes would leave the band and be replaced by musician and songwriter, Parker Bossley who would go on to join Canadian indie rock band, Hot Hot Heat concurrently the following year.
