* Bull Run Concert Series: Farrenheit

3-28-2014

Charlie Farren and David Hull met when both were with The Joe Perry Project in 1980. After touring with The Project in support their CBS record, "I’ve Got The Rock And Rolls Again." it became clear that Aerosmith was on a path to re-unite. Charlie and David decided to form their own, new band and began writing and experimenting with band formats, eventually choosing a trio format after meeting drummer John Muzzy
In 1986 Charlie, David, and Muzz formed Farrenheit and released a self titled debut album on Warner Bros. Three singles from that album, "Fool in Love," "Bad Habit," and "Lost in Loveland," as well as video exposure on MTV and extensive touring established Farrenheit as one of the premier new rock acts and won band awards and kudos across the country. But more importantly, it won the band fans, who responded to the potent combination of well-written songs delivered by a powerful, veteran rock trio.
"We signed with Warner Brothers on the strength of our songwriting and performance,” explains Charlie Farren. Farrenheit really never fit with the big hair and tattoo crowd that emerged shortly after the debut Farrenheit CD came out in 1987. It's probably why that CD still sounds fresh and why the songs still work.
