The Falcon is a punk rock supergroup from Chicago. The band features The Lawrence Arms members Brendan Kelly (guitar and vocals) and Neil Hennessy (drums), as well as Alkaline Trio’s Dan Andriano (bass). Todd Mohney, former member of Rise Against, played guitar on the 2004 EP God Don’t Make No Trash or Up Your Ass with Broken Glass, but was unable to attend the recording session for the band’s first full length, Unicornography, and his spot was temporarily filled in by Hennessy.
Kelly, the creative force behind the band, has said in interviews that the lineup would almost definitely change in order to tour successfully. Specifically, he cited Andriano’s role in Alkaline Trio as making the bass player’s availability for touring limited. According to the band’s MySpace, the current lineup consists of Kelly, Hennessy, Eli Caterer (Smoking Popes), and Chris McCaughan (The Lawrence Arms).
The band has so far released one EP on Red Scare, God Don’t Make No Trash or Up Your Ass With Broken Glass. Released in 2004, it has a unique trait in that all the songs, as well as EP itself, have two different names. Unicornography, The Falcon’s debut full-length, was released on September 26, 2006. |
