DEBUT ALBUM
On the surface the album comes across
as a feel good, upbeat collection of
songs that are designed to get the foot
tapping and the melodies floating
around your head. Scratch that surface
just a little and you will find lyrics
based on grief, nostalgia, love, loss,
humour and hope, that will bring a tear
to the eye, a smile to the face and a nice
big tug on the heart. Stories are hard to
tell, but easy to sing. This album tells
you its story and it wears its heart on its
sleeve. Just maybe you will find some of
yourself in there too.

FARRAGO aims to spread a message of
positivity and good times in a way only
they can. Drawing on a variety of styles
and influences, they've developed an
eclectic sound of hook filled melodies
and driving rhythms all designed to put
a spring back in people's step.
Based in sunny Singapore, the outfit
comprises of vocalist/guitarist Dave
Hawkes, bassist Miwa Furukawa,
drummer Tristan North and lead
guitarist Jonathan Suresh.
FARRAGO can trace their beginnings
back to early 2012, when Dave met
Jonathan through a mutual friend who
needed decent musicians who would
play a gig for no money. After a suitably
disastrous first outing, Dave and
Jonathan realised they had much in
common (see: a love of music, football
and beers) and decided to keep in touch.
After a few impromptu jams over lagers,
Dave declared that he wanted to start a
rock band, simultaneously announcing
his early-onset midlife crisis. Being
terribly suggestible after a few drinks,
Jonathan agreed. A short while after
which Dave helpfully suggested, “a
drummer might be nice.” Enter Tristan,
skinsman extraordinaire and once
described as “the best thing to come out
of Australia since Vegemite.” Okay, not
really. But the band had now begun to
take shape and the search for a bassist
was on. A couple of months later, Dave
related to the rest that he actually knew
a rather talented bassist who was easy
on the eyes, asking if they were keen on
her joining the band. Jonathan and
Tristan immediately agreed, excitedly
exclaiming, “you might have bloody told
us two months ago, you prat.” Miwa
then began rehearsing with the band,
fitting like a glove and picking up the
songs with ease. A master of design, she
then proceeded to create the bands
image. FARRAGO was well on its way.

It's everything a debut album should be. It's fresh and uplifting.
- listener’s review
THEINTERNATIONAL
LOCALBAND- The UrbanWire
Nothing in their name, debut album title, or even band member lineup suggests that FARRAGO is
a Singaporean band.
Yet, they’re more than happy to be a part of Singapore’s growing
local music industry.
Think shiny guitar riffs and the infectious upbeat rhythms of Circa Waves, mixed with grittier
Arctic Monkeys-esque undertones. The end product?FARRAGO.
