Henri Fabergé and the Adorables are a Canadian indie rock band, based in Toronto, Ontario. A musical collective including members of The Bicycles, Born Ruffians, Spitfires & Mayflowers, Woodhands and The Meligrove Band, the Adorables most commonly consist of Henri Fabergé (Henry Fletcher), Juliann Wilding, Janderton Beauregard (Andy Lloyd), Maylee Todd, Dana Snell, Laura Barrett, Dan Werb, Ruhee Dewji and Johnny Ortved. Past and occasional members include Niall Fynes, Keith Hamilton, Luke LaLonde, Mitch DeRosier, Steve Hamelin, Andrew Scott, Brendan Howlett, Kelly Sue O'Connor, Peter Thorne, Sara Jane McKenzie, Matt Beckett, Drew Smith, Randy Lee and Paul Banwatt.

Formed in 2005, the band released its self-titled debut album in 2006. The album was recorded by Ryan Mills at Sleepytown Sound, in Henri's living room and at The Embassy bar in Kensington Market.

"The R3-30"

The single "Ventriloquist Love" reached the #1 spot on CBC Radio 3's "The R3-30" chart on January 4, 2007 [ [http://radio3.cbc.ca/blogs/2006/12/The-R3-30-December-28-2006---January-4-2007-The-Days-Of-Auld-Lang-Syne-Edition] ] , and was named one of the network's Top 94 Tracks of 2006 [ [http://radio3.cbc.ca/blogs/2006/12/Top-94-Tracks-of-2006] ] .

"The R3-30" traditionally announces each week's biggest chart dropper with a descending slide whistle tone. After "Ventriloquist Love" dropped from #9 to #19 the week of January 19, 2007 [ [http://radio3.cbc.ca/blogs/2007/01/The-R3-30-January-19th---25th] ] , resulting in use of the slide whistle, the band humorously criticized "R3-30" host Craig Norris' musical abilities, challenging him to record a whole song on slide whistle. After Norris published a lighthearted apology on the CBC Radio 3 site, Fabergé subsequently released an audio retort which included three short sarcastic songs about Norris by Maylee Todd, Dan Werb and Fabergé himself.
