When it comes to “bringin’ the party” The Franks know how to do it proper! This wild garage-thrashin’-punk threesome brought the drunks back up to speed at our show at Spaceland last Friday, May 21st. Going on at about midnight where most of the crowd had one-to-many tall boys, The Franks were like an adrenaline shot to the heart.

Opening up for the Shout Out Louds at the El Rey Theatre the night before (we’ll post pics from that show too) we were totally stoked to have The Franks play our show. With playful monikers such as Jean Don’t, Ronny Ray Gunn and Mimi Malone, during the short breaks of their songs, the candid threesome at times came off as a snaky comedy act. Not only did they have us shaking our bodies to their high energy punk sounds, but they had us laughing with them.

If you have yet to see The Franks, what the fuck are you thinking?! Go check these kids out! They shred and are waaaay too much fun.

Check back for an interview with The Franks and for photos from their sold-out show with the Shout Out Louds and the Freelance Whales.
