Farewell to Goodbye

Rockin’ from Tampa, Florida, "Farewell to Goodbye" formerly “The Hanging Chads” are a band made up of minors, but there is nothing juvenile about their music! Inspired by new post hard core - punk pop sound coming from Warp Tour, they add their own explosive modern edge to this foundation, creating a sound that’s beyond their age. Their paths crossing through a local Rock School program in 2011, they quickly bonded over their passion and realized an undeniable synergy they wanted to share with audiences. Working hard to play countless shows, festivals and charity events, they have amazed and earned fans along the way. “Bubba the Love Sponge” remarks, “They are better than some of the grown up bands we have had on the show!” Lars Tatum’s lightning guitar strength, Harrison Kepley's bass line and Chase Sumner's diverse drumming, provide the perfect setting for the power packed, sultry tone vocals of Darienne Shayne. This formula grips the heart, then kicks you in the gut and has enabled them to open at The State Theater for national acts like "Saliva", as well as other regional bands. They have been featured in numerous publications, including The Tampa Bay Times, as one of the top 100 local acts in Tampa Bay in 2013. Their original music has been aired on national syndicated radio shows such as "Bubba the Love Sponge", “Rock Solid Pressure” along with local Florida radio stations like 102.5 The Bone, Tampa and 96KROCK, Ft. Myers, where Lawrence Larry Fitch declared, “They are a bad ass rock band!” and “They rock harder than most!” With 2 EPs under their belt their 3rd EP is just released and produced by acclaimed producer Matt LaPlant. They have their sights set on playing shows outside of Florida and strive to be chosen to play on Warped Tour. They aim to surprise and captivate more crowds as they take the stage, ensuring that Farewell to Goodbye is here to stay!
