Nate Faker is the solo moniker of Nathan Hudson, the founding member, vocalist and guitarist of iconic Australian band Faker, which will see Nate performing new versions of their iconic back catalogue, exclusive unreleased material, and even more surprises to be discovered! 

Faker recorded their debut studio album, Addicted Romantic (June 2005), late in 2004 with Lindsay Gravina (Magic Dirt) producing at Birdland Studios, shortly after they had signed to Capitol Records. It is laden with sexual motifs, with Hudson explaining, "The first track on the record is about casual sex and confusion through sex". Rather than treat sex as "wrapped up in cotton wool", the band intended to be open, upfront, and aggressive in their discussion of the topic. Long-term bass guitarist Paul Youdell and guitarist Jonathan Wilson left the band after the studio sessions, and were replaced by Nicholas Munnings and Stefan Gregory, respectively. In May 2005, ahead of the album, they issued a five-track EP, The Familiar / Enough EP via EMI and Capitol Records, which had two tracks with Wilson and Youdell and the rest with Gregory and Munnings.

The album peaked at No. 44 on the ARIA Albums Chart. Three singles were released from the album; "The Familiar" (May 2005), "Hurricane" (October), and "Love for Sale" (March 2006). "The Familiar" reached No. 62 on the ARIA Singles Chart, while "Hurricane" peaked at No. 65. "Hurricane" was listed at No. 21 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2005. The video for Hurricane was recorded in the Domed Reading Room of the State Library of Victoria. Addicted Romantic was nominated for the inaugural J Award, won by Wolfmother. In 2006 Phil Downing left the band, citing communication problems with other members. After that point the band's line-up of Hudson, Berryman, Gregory and Munnings, remained unchanged, until Berryman left in March 2008. He was replaced by Lucio Pedrazzi.

Faker's second album, Be the Twilight, was released on 17 November 2007. It has thus far peaked at No. 24 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart. The first single from the album "This Heart Attack" was released on 27 October 2007. The song has peaked at No. 9 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, and also reached No. 5 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2007. The second single, "Are You Magnetic?", was released on 12 July 2008. 

Be the Twilight was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Paul Fox (XTC, Björk, The Sugarcubes, They Might Be Giants). The band wrote 45 songs for the album before traveling to Los Angeles, where they trimmed this down to 12. The songs were influenced by the band's surroundings at the time of recording, with Hudson stating "[t]here's a whole directness that exists in L.A. and I kind of feel that we put that in the record". Hudson said that after "putting all the things you've ever experienced" into Addicted Romantic, the band were able to record Be the Twilight "more in the moment." Be the Twilight took its name from Hudson's fear of the dark; Faker insisted they "name the album after the twilight just to annoy him”. Following the release of Be the Twilight, Faker embarked on an album tour, playing with fellow bands Children Collide and E.L.F. The tour commenced on 15 November 2007.

Critics generally responded well to Be the Twilight. Triple J rated it highly, stating the band "has made a record that will instantly please fans". Likewise, Webcuts Music awarded it 4.5 (out of five) saying "Faker are one of the few exciting and honest, heart-on-sleeve acts that exist in Australia. Be the Twilight is almost perfection". In 2008, the band appeared in major slots at a number of Australian outdoor festivals, and toured extensively.  In early 2009 the band joined Pink on the Australian Funhouse Tour dates.  

The band released several demos via SoundCloud over the end of 2010 and announced on their Facebook page that the new album would be called Get Loved. On 25 May The CSS Remix of their new single "Dangerous" was released on SoundCloud via their Facebook page.  Intended for release in January 2012, the band decided to release Get Loved for free in December 2011 instead. 

In 2013, frontman Nathan Hudson announced the band had broken up.

In October 2020, Faker announced that they would be reforming. Faker are currently finalising their new album between Berlin and Sao Paolo.
