New Song, Old Video
So we had an old video of us playing live and a recorded version of the song just sitting around. So we thought… “Hell, lets put em together!” And thats exactly what we did. Enjoy!
EP is still coming out. With more songs than originally planned! This being one of them.

New tour dates
Here’s the dates we have confirmed so far. If you come to the show and stop by the merch booth and say the secret password phrase “Nicole is the best,” Tyler will kiss you on the mouth. But only if you are a girl. If you are a boy, he will look into your eyes and tell you your fortune.

news flash.
Eight years is a long to time to be in any relationship, especially a public one. Far-Less has had many ups and downs, even a break-up or two, but we have made music that we are proud to call our own and had a lot of fun doing it. This being said, Far-Less is going on an indefinite hiatus following our summer plans. No doubt we will play some shows down the road, but now is the time for us to...

Far-Less - The Headache EP
EP will be out soon. No official date yet. We’re still doing some last minute obsessing and maniacal perfectionist tweaking but you’ll have it soon. Track list is:
1. Georgia 2. Too Pretty (To Be A Zombie) 3. A Toast To Bad Taste 4. Headache (New Song!) 5. So Glad (Acoustic)
Some people are not quite grasping the idea here so I’ll break it down one more time. This...
Yo...art people.
You may have noticed our myspace is totally different and totally bare now. Really we did this because we got tired of tacky, over done and busy myspace kookinesss. Plus we all have pretty modest computers and were sick of our myspace taking a light year to load. Anyway, we basically have one large splash graphic now and that’s it. We plan on changing this every couple of days. Well,...

Da Myspace Changerino
Myspace changed. It is now not pretty. It is not not technologically advanced. It now loads faster. It now has a pig on it.
That’s the long and short of it.

Relapse Weekend....
Let’s talk about….. Shall we? I stopped smoking cigs about two weeks ago. It’s a terrible habit that I have had for eight or nine years and I was just sick of it. I speak of not smoking as if it were some kind of thing from the past because during “Relapse Weekend” I smoked quite a few cigarettes.
Last weekend a few of our friends came into town...

New e.p
ok.. last night, Matt Bowers ( house of fools) came over and tracked some piano for us. This means that the e.p is a few days from being finished. I have one more vocal part to finish and I think Brandon H. has a guitar part to track. So.. yay for us! If you pay attention to far-less… now is the time to keep up. We will be bringing you lots of surprises/ goodies/ show news/ and most...

Dear Brandons, Tyler and Brian
To answer your question Brandon Welch, yes I do have a pub show this weekend. I think I told Tyler and Hackler and I’ll tell Brian cause I don’t know if he’ll read this. He may though in between checking out bass gear and ACC tournament scores when he is at work. I also think I might have told you today, but if this letter is a response to your letter from last night, and I...
Dear Brandon Hackler,
I appreciate your kind words in the last letter. I actually just got off of AIM talking to you and I felt compelled to let you know what is going on with me. (Eventhough I just talked to you.) I just listened to the new version of “toast to bad taste” and I have to admit.. everyone did an excellent job.
It’s nice to hear that you didn’t grow your hair out to alienate...
Letter - Part 1
Dear Brandon W.
How are you? I hope this letter finds you well. I have been pretty darn busy lately, let me tell you! Yesterday we finished up tracking your vocals for the song Toast To Bad Taste. You did a GREAT job. Jordan manned the controls and you guys banged it out. So that makes 4 songs pretty much FINISHED! The end is near buddy! Tomorrow I guess you will do a bunch more vocals....
Chewed up Frisbee
Beau is learning how to catch a frisbee. We are trying to teach him to distinguish the difference between catching and fetching and I think he is learning quickly. You guys all need to see our dog because you will fall in love with him. We are going to post pictures of him soon. Show all single attractive ladies so they will wanna come over and see him k?

Man, I feel so weird.
So I just got home from our show in Winston-Salem. (it’s 3:00a.m) Maybe it’s the combination of 5 hour energy and those damn “summer fun” drinks. ( some kind of wine spritzer, pinky up kinda deal) That’s what it has to be, but, I don’t feel like I played a show tonight. I know it sounds weird.. but it’s true.
I was pleased to see so many of our...
BROTHER!!!!!......
Sometimes it takes a rude awakening to remember who your real friends are in life. Well…let me rephrase that. I know who my real friends are. I always have known who my real friends are. They all know who they are. In this journey…being in this band…I have made more friends than I could ever imagine; and in more places than I ever thought I would go. But I think its my...
Telling the difference...
Generally…if there’s a lot of “…’s” then it’s me, Brandon, the new guy, guitar player. If it has terminator, skynet, or other references like that, it is Brandon, the member who has been in the band a while, the singer player.
And I sign: Brandon-
and Brandon signs: -bw
so that clears that up…
Sincerely,

about that video
ok… so you may notice at one point in the song that I speak and look over at Jordan. Now, let me tell you why this is funny. Some dude just off camera is mocking me. I spotted him during the song and I pointed at him but he kept on mocking my hand motions or whatever the hell I was doing. The guy immediately gave me the ” i’m going to kill you” stare for the entire song!...

it gets hard to shake these desires

for you, it’s not complicated
a nice place to go
when you got no one to hold
a nice place to go
when you got nothing

we drop like flies
it’s a nice place to go
when you’ve got nowhere to run
Oh Mercy!
Things are a-happenin’! This week has been awesome.

…an UPDATE!
This update is sponsored by the word “LOVE.” and the color PINK. And St. Valentine himself.
3 songs into the new EP folks and it’s so cool to hear what the songs are becoming! Too Pretty (To Be A Zombie), Georgia, and A Toast To Bad Taste have been tackled so far. We’ll do about 2 more “re-imagined” songs and then we’ll probably...

New Release
Hello fellow human beings and/or reptilians,
We were approached by our label with the opportunity to release a digital E.P. Initially, the idea was for us to do an acoustic release. After getting together and talking this over we were all like ” Why just do an acoustic peice?” So, we have decided that we are going to dive into our past and release a collection of re-worked and...

Words can't explain...or can they?
I turned the radio on in my car today for the first time in a pretty long time. I choose not to listen to the radio for the most part (aside from classic rock, 90’s alt and talk radio from time to time) because I find “radio” music to be pretty shallow and thoughtless….both musically and lyrically. My sentiments were not only confirmed but compounded today. Here are some...
Three shows this weekend....
We are playing three shows at the very beginning of January in Virginia. Here are the dates.

asheville/ kid rock
Dear Asheville NC,
We had a great time last night. Thanks to By Morning. We hope to see you again soon.
Dear Kid Rock,
The new song that sounds like “werewolves of london” and ” sweet home alabama” totally sucks. Please stop.

My Top 5 Favorite Cities.
Asheville is up there. So, tomorrow, make your way there. Eat their food, see their city and then go to Stella Blue and watch us play. Doors are at sometime and you’ll have to pay some money.
I do know for SURE that we’ll be there. We’ll plug stuff into to stuff and then we’ll do stuff that’s louder than conversational volumes. That we will do.

We’ll be playing stuff from Turn To the Bright, Everyone Is Out To Get Us and A Toast To Bad Taste. Come out and be Halloween’y with us. You should dress up like “a fan of our band” and we’re going to be dressing up as the band Far-Less. Should be hilarious.

Your Tiger Style Is No Match For Me...
Had a friend link me to this. It’s exactly what goes through my mind when we play this song on stage. Sometimes I get so into it I karate chop Brandon while he’s singing or launch throwing stars at Tyler’s drums.

So Glad LIVE!
Hey we put up a song our good friend Brad recorded for us from the Tempe, AZ show we played on the Mae tour. Thanks to him.
The song also features the dream boat Mike Schey on bass. He filled in for a bunch of shows and did a great job. This was in his hometown. We love him!
