Rage Against the Machine on Valium...". Thought-provoking lyrics, edgy rhythms, and powerful messages on topical political and social issues.

"Sea of Mass Confusion" released in 2006 is the latest project for this ambitious singer, songwriter, guitarist, political columnist, activist, and successful entrepreneur from San Diego, California.

Born in the Rust Belt of Cleveland, Ohio, Farkas began his professional music career at age 14 sharing Northern Ohio stages with other “young” artists like Joe Walsh (Eagles), Benjamin Orr (Cars), and Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders). He continued his music career while majoring in political science at Hiram College.

With a volatile political and social climate, Farkas’ songwriting was influenced by the loss of his cousin in Vietnam and the Kent State shootings.

He took a hiatus from his music career to build an international computer company in the 90’s.

In 1999, Farkas felt the hole in his heart remaining from his departure of the the music business. He sold everything he owned, moved to California and returned to his passion: music.

His re-entry effort, Self Help for a Sick Society, was three years in the making. Produced by platinum producer Dito Godwin (No Doubt, Kiss, Great White) Self-Help represents some of the most thought-provoking, powerful messages since the protest rock era of the 60’s.

"Colonel Ted", and "Sea of Mass Confusion" are currently moving up the Internet, college, and community radio charts as two of the most requested songs. Sea of Mass Confusion (the single) is currently in the Top 100 of the 1,500+ pprotest songs on Neil Young.com's website. The video of SOMC is currently #15 on Neil's website of Top 200 protest videos. You can view this at : www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/...page.html.
His new CD, "Sea of Mass Confusion" is due out this Spring. Farkas’ emotional Morrision-esque delivery and "storyteller-style” live shows an attractive draw for most any venue.

In addition to touring with No Parachute, Bill finds time to write “The Daily Rant”, an interactive political blog at www.billfarkas.com with now over 4.2 million readers.

Farkas is active in ASCAP, Songsalive, LA Songnet, JPF, and NSAI. He hosted the longest running Performing Songwriter Showcase in San Diego at Claire de Lune’s. He also hosted The Weekly Rant on WWW.BZOO.COM podcast network for over a year.
