There is more than one group called The Fates.


1) The earliest group was started by Una Baines(The Fall, Blue Orchids) and two other women. The Fates were formed when Blue Orchids broke up after a brief stint as Nico's backing band for a European tour. The Fates released the album Furia, a "dark, sometimes ritualistic, folk with much electronic sounds though and much improvisational parts", on Una Baines' own label, Taboo, in 1985. It was reissued on Bird Records (016EGGSCD) in 2014.


2) A Canadian based group, The Fates are Lori Reid, Lin Elder and Jenny Allen who blend elements of alternative pop, jazz and soul into one unifying sound.


3) The Fates are a new Melbourne-based band influenced by popular post-punk and new wave bands from the 1980's.

4) The Fates are a pop/rock band from Boston, MA comprised of Beau Cassidy (vocals), Josh Friedman (keys), Jon Greene (guitars), Tyler LeVander (drums) and David White (bass). Meeting as students of Berklee College of Music and Boston University in 2009, the band continues to write and perform original music as a staple of the Boston live music scene. Recording their EP in early 2011, The Fates are known for their catchy songs and energetic live performances. Committed to sharing their music with the world, The Fates are dedicated to become "the rock band that saves pop."
