Chris Farren (Big Scary Monsters), London

Chris Farren biography

Chris Farren is the guitarist and vocalist for Naples, Florida beach punk band Fake Problems and 1/2 of the power-pop duo Antarctigo Vespucci with Jeff Rosenstock of Bomb The Music Industry! But as Fake Problems has been eerily quiet since the release of their full-length, 2010’s Real Ghosts Caught on Tape, Farren has been branching out and dipping his toes into other waters. He recently unveiled his two-man project with Bomb the Music Industry!’s Jeff Rosenstock called Antarctigo Vespucci, a refreshingly unpretentious pop machine. He’s also been stripping things down and experimenting with solo material. Farren recently released a split EP with Grey Gordon, Ducks Fly Together. Without the comfort of a backing band, the self-made Verified Twitter user is seeing how far he can get on his own, with nothing but a ton of inspiration and a good reputation. After all, Chris Farren is a musician’s musician. Ask anyone, just not him.
