Far From Words
After having many bands in many different genres I decided to start my own solo project where I could write what i wanted and not have to worry about if someone else would like it or not. After writing and recording everything I have put a band together to play live and record a CD with.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Far From Words started out as a solo project of songwriter Alex Riggen. After writing enough songs for an entire album a band was formed to play shows and record with. After a few lineup changes Far From Words had found the right members and started practicing for shows and to record their first EP to be released on Alex's Mi Zai Records. Since then Far From Words has been playing various shows and will be going on tour this Summer to support their new EP "Be Nameless".
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes.
