"Waiting for vinyl is tough. It can take months, years or sometimes even hundreds of days before they are finally ready for the eyes and ears of our fans. That’s why we at the LIAR laboratory, have invented a new technique to press our own records…"

About
Frankie, the band who ignored producing music until they build their own record machine in an old Mitsubishi workshop in Brussels, Belgium. In these headquarters they work on multiple things such as Bloody Sausage Restaurants, miserable theater performances and various musical and video-graphic side projects. In this gray workplace the band lives its own life. Frankie consists of stubborn individuals who try to work together from time to time, trying to steer the ship in the right direction without a captain. Half boys band, half mad scientists, the guys released their soon-to-be world famous record ‘Blubber’ via EXAG’ Records.
Musically it's more majestic that you’d expect, think not-quite-Queen cabaret but if it came from early 90s Crypt Records Memphis roaster (Oblivions, The Gories etc) there is something about them that could recall easy-going nostalgic hits from history of rock The Make-Up, The Nation Of Ulysses but if they were in collaboration with The Mothers of Invention, less silly monty python, more Francis bacon on the plate…fried, crispy…burnt, black, tasty. Breakfast: most important meal of the day…
Their live shows are dangerous and deranged, their microphones more cracked and dust web covered than Dan Melchior, Billy Childish and Ben Wallers combined.
