'Elvis & Cash in Frocks; Frockabilly sensations The Frantastics are the stars of the burgeoning subgenera of Frockabilly / Country Rock i.e. stilettos in place of cowboy boots.'
Time Out'I like it...!'
Tom Robinson (Musician / BBC Radio Presenter)'Sensational, one of 50 great things to discover in London and keeps them coming back; Country Rock with verve and charm. Crowd-pleasing covers and original numbers such as the bittersweet Fell in Love in a Chatroom never fails to please.' Time Out
'The Frantastics are solid showmanship, with a rip-roaring repertoire of foot-stomping retro Rock 'n' Roll, dripping with hilarious renditions of the backwaters of Americana, makes this a great night's entertainment, simply brilliant; yeehaa!' Time Out
OK, so lets set the scene: think, Elvis & Cash walk through one door and exit the other wearing frocks, well that’s Frockabilly...that's The Frantastics.
Mixing and distilling a musical alchemy, they're a head on steam-train wreck, a collision of Rock 'n' Roll / Country, Polka Dots and Gingham.
Rattle that jewellery, cos I can hear a train a comin...
