69 Colebrooke Row
Our gig celebrating the festival Ferragosto, at ’69 Colebrooke Row’ AKA The bar with no name, was a blast. Two half hour sets, that ended sometime after 1am, or was it 2am, maybe it was 3am…yes, it was that good. www.69colebrookerow.com

Time Out says 'Sensational...one of 50 great things to discover in London and keeps em coming back; Country Rock with verve and charm from the stars of Frockabilly. Billed as Elvis and Cash in frocks, The Frantastics are the stars of the burgeoning subgenera of Frockabilly-Country Rock i.e. stilettos in place of cowboy boots.'
'Crowd-pleasing covers and original numbers such as the bittersweet 'Fell in Love in a Chatroom' never fails to please. 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; yeeha!'
OK, so lets set the scene; think…Elvis and Cash walk through one door and exit the other wearing frocks, well that’s Frockabilly...that's The Frantastics.
Each drawing upon their diverse musical backgrounds and influences; Frances (vocals/guitar); Jenny (lead guitar/vocals); Lauren (drums) and Suzy (Bass guitar), mix and distil their musical alchemy, a steam train wreck of Rock 'n' Roll collides with Country, oh and a bit of 21st Century thrown in for good measure.
Rattle that jewellery, cos I can hear a train a comin...
