Faraquet

***FARAQUET began as a side project featuring SMART WENT CRAZY members DEVIN OCAMPO and JEFF BOSWELL, along with CHAD MOLTER. When SWC broke up, Faraquet stepped up as a full-time band and started playing more shows, releasing a couple of singles as well as appearing on a split CD with Akarso. After seeing Faraquet a few times around town, Fugazi invited them to do some shows on a short tour through the south. Soon after the band recorded with J. ROBBINS at Inner Ear Studio and released The View from This Tower in November of 2000. After some brief touring later that year the band broke up in 2001. In 2003 Devin and Chad reunited to form MEDICATIONS with Chad moving from drums to his native instrument, bass. Collected here are the songs the band recorded for various singles and split releases, all remixed by Ocampo and remastered by CHAD CLARK. Working on this project rekindled the bandmembersʼ interest in playing the songs and the band reunited for a Brazilian tour in 2007 and plan to continue to perform periodically in the future. LP version includes a free MP3.
