From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fane Michael Flaws[1] (16 May 1951 – 17 June 2021)[2][3] was a New Zealand musician, songwriter, director and artist.

Career

[edit]

Flaws was a member of bands including Blerta, Spats, and The Crocodiles. Until joining Blerta he was known by his second name Michael: Bruno Lawrence of Blerta insisted Fane was a better name.[4]

When he was in The Crocodiles, he wrote the song "Tears" with Arthur Baysting.[5] The single reached number 17 in the New Zealand charts.[6]

He wrote songs for the films Braindead and Meet the Feebles, even voicing the Musician Frog in the latter.[6]

He animated the revamped titles for Radio with Pictures in 1986, a Television New Zealand programme featuring popular and alternative music.

He was co-author, with Arthur Baysting and Peter Dasent, of the children's book The Underwater Melon Man and Other Unreasonable Rhymes. The book was published in 1998, a CD in 1999. In 2011, an edition was published with a DVD.[7] Musicians appearing include Chris Knox, Jenny Morris, Neil Finn, Tim Finn, Renée Geyer, Tony Backhouse, Bic Runga and Boh Runga, the Topp Twins, Che Fu & King Kapisi and Dave Dobbyn.[7]

He also designed rugs, paints and created assemblage art works from found objects such as demolition timber and building fittings.[8]
