Far From Gorgeous

The Best Band You've Never Heard

About Me


Who is Far From Gorgeous?
Far From Gorgeous is a "band" of four girls that, outside of the sisters, live nowhere near each other.
Far From Gorgeous is:
Hannah Schwartz - bass, vocals
Clementine - keyboards, guitar, vocals
Rebekah Markowitz - violin, guitar, and vocals
Leah Schwartz - drums
So if you don't live near each other, how do you know each other?
Through the concert scene. Leah met Hannah in 1982 the day she was born. Clementine and Rebekah met many moons ago at a music festival. Later, Clementine met Leah and Hannah. Then technically, Leah and Hannah showed up at Rebekah's door one day... but that's because Clementine sent them.
Where did you get the name Far From Gorgeous?
From our friend Ben Dewey (please see top friends - dukester). Ben has been all kinds of inspiration for us. If we were to hire a band jester, it would be Ben.
We took the name (which was not used to describe us) and translated it to mean that before Christ, we are Far From Gorgeous.
So which one checks your myspace?
Rebekah
Why?
Because she has nothing better to do.
If I comment, will you comment back?
Most definitely. Unless you post some kind of ad.
How do I get a Far From Gorgeous shirt with my name on it?
Message us for details.
Why is Leah in the band?
Because we haven't found a replacement penguin drummer yet.
Are you playing my area anytime soon?
No.
Can I hear any of your music?
No. We don't have any.
If you don't have any, then how are you a band?
Because we are special.
Any other questions or comments, please contact us :)
yay!
