  • Amy Farina is an American musician who is the drummer and singer in the indie rock duo The Evens, which includes her husband, Ian MacKaye.[1][2][3]

    Career[edit]

    Farina has played in The Warmers (which included Ian's younger brother Alec MacKaye),[1] Mister Candy Eater, Ted Leo & the Pharmacists[4] and with Lois Maffeo.

    The Evens[edit]

    Farina and Ian MacKaye formed The Evens in 2001.[5] Farina sings and plays drums with MacKaye playing baritone guitar and sharing vocal duties. The Evens released their self-titled album in early 2005, breaking a three-year silence by MacKaye. Their second album, Get Evens, was released in November 2006.[6] Their most recent album,The Odds, was released on November 20, 2012.[7]

    Coriky[edit]

    In 2015, Farina and MacKaye began playing music with Joe Lally (Fugazi, The Messthetics).[8] In 2018, the group played their first show, now with the adopted moniker Coriky.[9] During early 2020, Coriky released two songs, "Clean Kill" and "Too Many Husbands", via various free streaming services. Although the self-titled album was originally set for release on March 27, 2020, the COVID-19 lockdown enacted during March 2020 delayed the release until June 12, 2020.[10]

    Personal life[edit]

    She and MacKaye have a child born in 2008.

    She is the sister of Geoff Farina of the band Karate.[11]
