Chris Barker (ex-Day At the Fair (http://www.myspace.com/dayatthefair)) has resurfaced in a new band called Further North (http://www.myspace.com/furthernorth). Below is an update from Barker:
Hello dear friends,
FIRST SHOW BACK This Sunday JULY 9th begins the post Day At The Fair experience at Maxwells in Hoboken N.J with Socratic and Adelphi. Its advertised as Chris Barker, but the project is called Further North, and Ill be playing with Rob, Kevin and Monkey, which if you remember was actually the last installment of DATF. Well be playing some new songs and some of your favorite DATF tunes. Our whole set is pretty much whatever you feel like singing and whatever you feel like asking us to play. Were doing this for fun which is why we started to play music in the first place, and its the same reason why we left, when it stopped being fun. Life for us is normal now, weve all been sleeping in beds that dont move, spending time with our family, friends and girlfriends. Im finishing college, rob and I have our own business together, Steve is now a personal trainer and Todd is still as sexy as ever, finishing college as well. Playing live is still in our blood which is why Rob, Myself, Monkey and Kevin are in the studio next week to record two new songs, along with this show. Who knows what will happen, where it will go or what well release. All we know is we are enjoying ours lives right now and we hope the summer is doing the same for all of you. Like I said before, if your still there to listen, well still be there to write em for you Speaking of new songs.
NEW SONGS NOW Last Superbowl Sunday, Chitty and Josh from Houston calls, and myself went into the studio to record a song called ghost stories, with producer Mike D. Anyways, they will be at the show and they will be performing that song with me on Sunday. Furthermore, you can go hear and download that song now at www.myspace.com/chrisbarkermusic. Its a temporary myspace page because I think the whole concept of a solo artist using thier own name is so fucking pretentious and self absorbed. I still refuse to be that guy. Enjoy it. I just love how it says, Chris Barker has 0 friends.
Anyways, come check us out, come sing day at the fair song or two. Wed really love to see you. Love, CHRIS
