Ultimate Fakebook is a 3-piece power pop band from Manhattan, KS. They released three full-length albums—Electric Kissing Parties (1997 - Noisome Records), This Will Be Laughing Week (1999 - Noisome Records, 2000 - 550 Music/Epic Records), and Open up and Say Awesome (2002 -Initial Records). Shortly after releasing their EP Before We Spark (2003 - Initial Records), they broke up.
I got them on the phone and this is what we talked about:
- Bro Hymn by Pennywise
- Having Falsetto in their songs
- Alternative Music
- Touring with Nada Surf
- Tenacious D
- Their first drummer
- The At The Drive-In / Get Up Kids tour that went through Wayne NJ
- Being the backing band for Reggie and the Full Effect
- Epic Records
- Why they stopped touring
- Playing with KISS
- And a ton more
