Faraquet
Biography
Faraquet began as a side project featuring Smart Went Crazy members Devin Ocampo and Jeff Boswell, along with Devin's high school friend Chad Molter (who had recently relocated to DC from Los Angeles).
When SWC broke up, Faraquet stepped up as a full-time band and started playing more shows, releasing a couple of singles as well as appearing on a split CD with Akarso, a band from Milwaukee. After seeing Faraquet a few times around town, Fugazi invited them to do some shows on a short tour through the south. Soon after the band recorded with J. Robbins at Inner Ear Studio and released The View from This Tower in November of 2000. After some brief touring later that year the band broke up in 2001.
In 2003 Devin and Chad reunited to form Medications with Chad moving from drums to his native instrument, bass.
