WIERD Presents a Very Rare live performance by FRANK JUST FRANK!

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

I decided to take a break from my undeniably rivetting new book The Crises of Abstraction in Canada:The 1950s that I scored inside an ultra chic, explosively vintage-90s 'If you see something say something' style VRappropriately duct-taped together bookbag at a rest stop in New Hampshire, and I walk into the room next door to find my Mom intensely absorbed in googling 'Leatherman'...my goodness doesn't get any more VR than this yes - Viva Materialism!!!...aka Mother knows best...n'oh wait thats complicated - lets see: you're definitely packin downtown style if you're totin a Swiss army knife in yr pleasure-ready VRanglers...and Canada is indeed part French as well, so...screw that. Uh, ok, ahhh. ...Either way as I was saying - 'Rivetting'!(ouch stop slow down...). You go girl! VR.

This week WIERD is proud to welcome the long-overdue return of the amazing FRANK(JUST FRANK) for a live performance at midnite! This will the band's first live performance in NYC in over 2 years! Our long-beloved gatekeeper of the smoothly elusive Franco-Jersienne World his Froidetastic VRagesty Monsieur Anthem relocated to Brooklyn from Paris back in February and has since put together a fantastic new FjF line-up for the forthcoming second LP. For everyone who emailed - yes the band will indeed be playing nearly all of their debut full-length The Brutal Wave in its entirety, and yes I have heard the one about "Great French music makes about as much sense as great British wine" though I think we've certainly made a case for the former in past years and if you'd like a list of contemporary UK Whine-o masters god knows just go google yourself alone in the Britpop darkness - its the 'unscrewed' musical equivalent of the swiss army without the Leatherman, positively bloody red yes!!!
