Band: FAKE PROBLEMS
Chris Farren / SINGA guitar

 

First song you learned to play?
Probably Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. Sorry. That song is the worst.

 

First band you went to see?
Blink 182.

 

What band or who, got you into music?
Blink 182.

 

What comes first when writing a song, the music or the lyrics?
They both come at the same time for me. I sit down and go back and forth between guitar chords and pen and paper. (or qwerty keyboard)

 

Was there a band name that almost was?
CHRIS FARREN AND THE WILDEST NASTIEST BOYS YOU’VE EVER MET

 

What bands would be on your dream tour?
Rolling Stones/Hold Steady/Fake Problems – I would gladly open that tour.

 

Where were you when you heard your song on the radio for the first time?
I was driving home on Pine Ridge Rd. It was a pretty spectacular moment. Pretty much exactly like that scene in “That Thing You Do”.

 

The most important thing you take with you on tour?
My guitar.

 

What is your favorite thing to get at the late night gas station stop?
COFFEE

 

Whats the most outrageous rider request you ever heard about?
We’re about to put a french bull dog on our rider, but I don’t think that’s outrageous, just super cute.

 

What is the longest stretch you ever went without showering?
I’m gonna say two weeks!

 

What and where is the best venue you have played in?
I love the Middle East in Cambridge Mass – there was an amazing venue called “Cave 9″ in Birmingham Alabama that recently got shut down. We had a lot of life-affirming moments in that joint.

 

After getting home from tour, what is the first thing you do?
Sleep forever.

 

If anyone could ‘guest’ on your new record who would it be?
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Band

 

The Last time YOU were star struck?
I met that lady from Paramore the other day. I don’t know why but I was pretty in awe.

 

If you could join any current band which would it be?
FAKE PROBLEMS FOREVER AND EVER!

 

What has been your biggest extravagant purchase?
This computer I’m typing to you upon at this moment! Wow what an expensive computer. So worth it though. You don’t even know.

 

THANKS FOR ALL THE CLOTHES ATTICUS
