Inside Music Podcast #7 – Chris Farren (Fake Problems / Antarctigo Vespucci)

I think we have finally reached a point where we can confidently say that we will release a new episode of our podcast 2-4 times every month. It would be great if we could guarantee every single week, but right now we don’t want to commit to more than we know we can complete. If you keep listening, we will keep recording, and in time there will be more hours of conversation than we know how to properly handle. That’s what we call a ‘good problem,’ and we welcome it with open arms.

The latest episode of Inside Music features very special guest Chris Farren, founding member of the Florida based punk outfit Fake Problems, co-founder of Antarctigo Vespucci, and someone my mom knows best for creating funny t-shirts. Chris has been a prominent member of the music scene since the mid-2000s, and in this interview he tells us about finding his footing in music, starting his bands, preparing to tour with Koji, the potential for a future solo album, and much, much more.

I’ve been familiar with Chris’ work for many years, but for whatever reason our paths never crossed until we connected over Skype to complete this interview. I walked away with a better understanding of what drives Chris to work as hard as he does, as well as a strong sense of excitement for the numerous plans he has for the future.

The music you hear at the beginning of this episode is take from “Don’t Die In Yr Hometown” by Antarctigo Vespucci.

If you would like to connect with Chris and learn more about his adventures in music, please make it a point to follow him on Twitter.
