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.
Free, all ages, 10:00 PM. This is part of a MEISA party that starts at 8:00 PM, so show up early if you want to partake. Sidewalk’s address is 94 Avenue A, in the East Village.

Trash Bar is on 256 Grand St, between Driggs and Roebling, in Williamsburg. My friends from Crazy Mary play right before us at 10:00 PM, then we play at 11:00.
Also, 4/22 is Julie’s birthday. She’ll be there. Buy her a drink.

This will be our second show at Rockwood, the best small music venue I know. Our set is at 4:00 PM, which I affectionately call the Teatime Slot. The show is free.

The show starts at 8, we play at 9, and the cover is $7. Ages 21+. Glasslands is in Brooklyn, on 289 Kent Ave, between South 1st and South 2nd streets.

Rockwood is one of my favorite places in the city to see shows.
4:00 PM is an unusual time for rock music, but don’t let that stop you. We’ll make it work. Free, 45 minute set, ages 21+, starting at 4:00 PM sharp.

Hey! Give me my computer back, Chris!
(ensuing struggle…the sound of cracking bones and high pitched squeeling)
That’s better. I should never have given him the password to this website. Uh, anyway, as Chris’ title informs you in its own special way, the Brothers Frank will soon be playing our last show of the year. It’s this Friday, 12/18, at Sullivan Hall, 8:00pm. Ten bucks gets you in if you’re 18 or over. ID’s required, but any form is accepted.
If your semester’s over, come celebrate! If your semester’s not over, come drink in the corner and be sad! If you don’t go to school, rock on! Last Frank Brothers show of 2009? Psshh—we’re gonna play like it’s our last show of 2010.
I don’t know what that means.

The schedule for tonight’s show at Webster Hall has changed, and we’re now playing at 5:30 sharp. Kate Eastman, alas, has a theatrical engagement until six o’ clock, which means she cannot grace you with her harmonies tonight.
I’ve placed a call to the New York Philharmonic to see whether they can fill in, but with so little notice I’m not hopeful. Look for a show tonight from just me, little brother, and Zach.
