Fair to Midland side project announced

2014-12-17 by KerfuffleinaHussle | 19 Comments
After a silence lasting nearly two years - the last proper update was posted in March 2013 - Fair to Midland's Facebook account has been revived, if only briefly, to reveal the new project of keyboardist Matt Langley and ex-drummer Brett Stowers.

The brief status reads:
"Check out Brett and Matt's new project Erstwhile! New music coming in 2015!"

Followed by a link to the Facebook page of new band Erstwhile, whose members include former
members of Fair To Midland, Edgewater, and Low Gear." The band is set to hit the studio to record their first album in 2015.

Although no definitive statement on the status of Fair to Midland still has been released, judging by the fact that most members have moved on to other projects - and the fact that Matt Langley is referred to as a "former" Fair to Midland member despite never officially leaving the band - it would be safe to assume a reunion isn't in the cards anytime soon.

Erstwhile's Facebook page can be found here:

Wasn't Darroh working on a solo project? Or did something fall by the wayside?

Still not sure why these guys haven't put up a kickstarter for making an album. I'd donate the shit out of it.

I got so excited seeing their name in the side bar. They have some annoying quirks, but are easily one
of the best bands I've discovered in the last 5-6 years. Actually, I have a Sputnik review of their last
album to thank for that.

I really like FTM. Another record would be magical but I'll see what this side project is about.

Darroh has been quietly busy with his new wife and newborn son, as well as teaching music at a school.

Cliff has dropped off the face of the earth, but his dad popped up on facebook to say he's well at least

Jon is playing bass in some dumb country band.


Excited to hear this. I've always loved Brett's drumming. The new singer is either going to make or break this band though...

This is good news! Too bad we only get two of the members of FTM though. These two guys are incredibly talented in their own right yes, but it was the cohesion that Fair to Midland possessed as a unit that made them so great.
