Frankenixon!
I met Frankenixon when they came
through town last winter--they're a
Bifi Records (out of Ames, Iowa (my hometown)) band, and
their tour
manager is a friend of a friend. So when they played in Cumberland, RI,
I made them chili and offered them floor space in my tiny apartment
(they opted to keep driving, understandably). On February 25th they
came back to Rhode Island and put on a great show at
AS220.
Frankenixon consists of Evelyn on piano and vocals, Joe on guitar, Ben on bass, and Westin on drums. They have a new CD, Amorphous, that they recorded in San Francisco last summer in a 10-day period. They played a few new songs off that album, and also a couple from their previous album, Depth Perception.
After the show, the band, Matt, and myself all headed back to my house to hang out for a while.
Having moved last August, it was much easier to offer them a place to sleep this time around. After a good night's sleep, we took them to Loui's for breakfast and then showed them to the Whole Foods. They will be touring until March 20th, and then will be back in Des Moines for a while. They will (hopefully) be back in Providence over the summer.
