About Me

cds can be ordered by going to www.cdbaby.com
The Femurs are from New York City and currently live in Seattle. Rob Femur and Colin Femur are friends from way back before highschool. Way back before Rob ended up living in his broken down Tempo in Olympia. Way back before Colin was teleported to Seattle to take notes on humanity and report back to Gorto. Really far back.
The Femurs currently appear most frequently in Seattle as two guys switching off playing drums and guitar laced with harmonized vocals.Their sound is Ramones-like but play their own homespun blend of acoustic folk-punk.
Rob Femur has a punk rock show on 107.7 TheEnd called Gabba Gabba Hey - and plays tons of ramonesColin Femur shares songwriting duties and plays a mean G chord when he is not busy writing super-secret cyber-codes.
Femurs have 3 records: The first record is a self titled 16 song rawk and rowl opus of lost love and dreams of having enough money to buy a carThe second album from The Femurs is called: Jack Cafferty Vs. Chuck Scarborough. (named after their favorite NYC news anchormen) put out on Seattle’s Homespun Records. The album is a six song ep that remains true to their upbeat acoustic folk-punk sound.
The Third CD just came out in 2007 called "Modern Mexico"Rob Femur does a punk rock radio show called : Gabba Gabba Hey - on www.1077theend.comThere is a great interview with femurs in disheveled magazine: www.disheveledmag.comand on: Seattle Powerpop Blog.
