The RPM Challenge - The Frinkers

The Frinkers Profile Page

About

Description:

As the last vestige of misspent youth slips from their frail decrepit hands, the Frinkers will gallantly attempt to do no less than save their friend Andy’s life - with rock & roll. Eardrums will be damaged, drinks will be spilled, artificial food-like substances will be ingested in heroic quantities, sleep will be abandoned ... and perhaps, if the Ramones smile down upon us from heaven…an album will be recorded in one short month.

Band Bio:	Four small town boys with a mutual love of cheese pizza, B-movies and loud music meet, kid each other mercilessly, laugh hysterically and decide to form a band. Many records by the Beatles, the Ramones and the Clash are worn thin. Eventually guitars, amps and drums are purchased. Thrashing of purchased instruments doth commence. Years go by. Beer is consumed. Sundry events occur. More beer is consumed. Middle age ambushes the boys with a gorilla attack. Band efforts are redoubled. Names are changed to protect the embarrassed and guilty. The Frinkers accept the RPM Challenge. The rest is, as they say on television, music history.
