American alternative rock band
Chalk FarM is an alternative rock band from Los Angeles.
Overview
Original years
The band released two albums in the late 1990s and are best known for their song "Lie On Lie", which was played for a short time on MTV in late 1996 and received radio airplay in the United States nationwide. Despite critical approval and a cult following, their debut album did not sell well, and the band was dropped from major label Columbia Records soon thereafter.[1] The band broke up in 2000.[2]
Among the musicians the group opened for were Joe Walsh and Seal.[3]
Chalk farM also appear as the band playing at the conclusion of the film Coyote Ugly.[4]
Reunion
According to Chalk farM's Facebook page, the four original members are back together, playing regularly in the Los Angeles area, and are "recording a new record."[5]
On February 21, 2014, Orlando Sims died after a lengthy battle with cancer.[3]
Dan Lavery from Tonic filled in place for Sims after his death as a touring member.
