happy new year! well... chad and i finally decided to just bite the bullet and play a show opening for one of our favorites- school of language. It will more then likely be a duo but we have yet to work the kinks out. please come out as it will be interesting if only to see us fail miserably. also, we are still in woodshed stage on a lot of new stuff and plan to have an album completed this year. check back soon for updates. -D

just though I'd share some recent developments in the world of medications:

first: simply put, andrew and the band have parted ways. devin and i will continue writing and recording new material but medications will exist in a drummer-less state for the time being.

andrew has a new label called what delicate recordings with two records scheduled to be released this fall. check them out.

devin has been busy recording at silver sonya studios, playing guitar in josh larue's band the hold up, and playing drums with mary timony and beauty pill.

i've been touring with mary t. in support of her new record "the shapes we make" and playing on the occasional drum set with beauty pill--which leads me to our second announcement:

In anticipation of a faraquet singles compilation to be released by dischord (release date tba), the re-formed band (sans jeff) will be playing shows in brazil this september as well a show (or two) in the states (with jeff) this fall. check the dischord site as well as the faraquet myspace site for updates.

those of you wondering what andrew becker does when he's not drumming should check out his appearence on the discovery health channel show "dr. know." he co-stars in the episode entitled "gender breakers." go to the discovery channel to find out when it airs. we expect that this will be a milestone in his "career."

just back from europe and we're getting some much needed rest. we had an amazing time and really want to thank all of you who helped put the shows together and take care of us. also, thank you to those who came to the shows to support us. it was great to meet so many people that care so much about music and community. well, we will be writing new material for the beginning of the year so not many live shows are scheduled, but keep a lookout for updates.
