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.
So we’ve got a showcase in this year’s CMJ Music Marathon. Dana Billings, who you may know as the drummer from my band New Neighbors, will be joining us on drums. Yeah, you read right. REAL DRUMS.
If you’ve caught one of our first two shows, or are planning to catch our third, you know we’ve been threatening to fire our drum machine some day. That day is soon. Fourth show, CMJ show, no drum machine.
The Brothers Frank play at 7:15 PM.
NYLE follows at 8:00.
Shinobi Ninja take over right after that.
Jesus Christ this is going to be fun. Ages 18+. Crash Mansion is at 199 Bowery, where Bowery crosses Delancey St.
UPDATE 10/19: Due to a scheduling error on my part, Dana will unfortunately not be playing this show. I told him Friday; the show is actually Saturday, and Saturday he’s got a gig with Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand, which, if you’re near Trumansburg, you absolutely should not miss.
Eric Read will be joining us on drums in Dana’s stead.
