Bio
Farewell Flight is a four-man band from Central Pennsylvania that’s been around for only three and a half years, but in that short time they’ve packed in 20 tours and over 450 shows, coastline to coastline, in true DIY fashion, bringing their brand of indie-pop to anyone who will listen, from teenagers to grizzled dive bar alcoholics and everyone in between. They strive to write songs soaked in honesty, which touch on themes of loneliness, hope, desperation, and ultimately– life. They’ll continue what has given them success and utmost happiness for the last few years–touring, writing songs, and trying to become as rich and famous as The Jonas Brothers.
About
"Lush arrangements, distinctly delicate guitar work, and the wounded vocals of Luke Foley elevate Lost At Sea to a near perfect status...If you ever have any kind of desire to listen to a band that just does it right, Farewell Flight will slip into your "February Morning Playlist" quite well next to the likes of Death Cab, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Elliott Smith."
"[Farewell Flight is] obsessed with making music. The bands tight musicianshipundoubtedly a result of its intense touring scheduleis evident in every track. Each members contribution builds on and compliments that of the others, a cohesion essential to the groups layered complexities. Where you wont find Christian buzz words youll find an honest examination of fallen human life in all its complexity. Simply put, Sound. Color. Motion. is a beautiful album."
"[Farewell Flight] has asserted itself to be the hardest working act in Pennsylvania...[and] sounds like true emo (not the watered-down, recycled, contemporary version)-Like Sunny Day Real Esate, Death Cab For Cutie, and Elliott Smith."
"Lost at Sea is an absolute must-listen...everything Farewell Flight writes should be flooding the iPods of young kids in wanderlust."
"That song Lullaby for Insomniacs is magical or something cause yesterday I got a headache in 4th block 20 min. before school let out and I was with my friend in his truck waiting to get out of the parking lot and I didn't feel good and my friend just who had seen you guys recently hands me some headphones and says "listen to this song it'll help your headache" and I'm thinking bullshit I listen to it and it made my headache go away when the song was done I felt great man."
Healers of killer headaches from 4th block? We'd like to think so.
You're so cool, you're so hip, you're so underground.

Luke- Lead vocals, guitar, piano. Has successfully wrestled polar bears on two separate continents (yes, two!). Still waiting on his letter from Hogwarts, even though the school year has already started. Can maneuver a van and trailer in reverse faster than Jason Bourne in a Mini Cooper on a Parisian side street. Wins gold medals for outstanding facial hair. Once lost his cell phone 42 times in one day.
Marc- Drums. Has several tattoos that make him look cooler than everyone else in the band (not that thats hard to do). Still has health insurance. When sporting a stache, he brings forth the ghost of Freddie Mercury. Voted Most Likely To Not Fail At Life by the other members in his band. Expert on centaurs.
Robbe- Bass. Real into sleeping. Came in second place on Nickelodeons Global Guts after being blinded by a glitter storm (aka snow blizzard) and hitting his opponents actuator at the top of the Super Aggro Crag. Still has a crush on Mo, the referee. Currently saving up all his change to buy a Ms. Pac-Man arcade console. Has a pretty good vertical jump.
Timmy- Awesome and (sometimes) guitar. Would rather play on the Steelers than in Farewell Flight. Good at mowing grass and laying down sod. Hates that hes good at mowing grass and laying down sod. Near-expert level at Saved By The Bell trivia. Wishes he lived in the 1980's and was the lead singer of Final Warning, licking the microphone like David Lee Roth. Instead, hes just some poor singing orphan.
