You're about to hit the road for the whole summer! What are you looking forward to the most? Touring is the best for me, I really never get sick of it. I love playing new places and seeing familiar faces and meeting new people. But to answer your question seriously I am most looking forward to waking up in random 5 star hotels and racking up some serious numbers on the peck deck in the hotel gym.
What's your favorite song from all of your assorted bands and solo albums that you play live? I love playing "where U are", which is kind of a newer solo song but people who have been coming to shows seem to know the words already, which is always exciting.
Was the transition from renowned "punk celebrity" to "fashion designer" tough? Everything I do is met with trials and tribulation and it is really a testament to my character how I am able to forge ahead and handle my many successes. I assume you are speaking of my "Smiths" shirt which is available in my web store now! ChrisFarren.BigCartel.com
What are some bands that you're listening to that you think we should know about? Hard Girls, Museum Mouth, Jeff Rosenstock and Diners. Also all of the bands I'm in Antarctigo Vespucci and Fake Problems and me!!!!!!!!!
