Our songs are pop-like in form and twisted in spirit. We write happy music about sad things, and sad music about happy things. We think that songs and arrangements should be as simple as possible, but no simpler. We think that music, particularly live music, should be fun, and that you should be able to dance to most of it.
We are The Brothers Frank, and this is our website.
My all time favorite beat-maker, as interpreted by one of my all time favorite bands.
SCORE!
Hat tip to our fantastic (vol 2) drummer, Zach Campbell.

I used to be an avid skateboarder, and for a while it was almost as important to me as music. Gradually, I drifted away from my board and closer to my bass. I can count on two hands the number of times I’ve gone skating in the past few years. But at least once a day—be it walking past a smooth brick embankment, or watching a kid skate down the street in total bliss—I find myself really missing it.
On a related note, the above video is awesome.

INTERVIEWER: Do you enjoy it, the work?
KRONE: I don’t know. I go back and forth. Advertising is stupid. Advertising is great. Advertising is totally unnecessary. Advertising is the most vital art form of our day. It depends on what week it is. I think they’re both true.
"I have similar feelings about pop music. This whole interview is great, and here’s a link.
