We have successfully negotiated the living hell that is driving a van in Paris and arrived at Le Trianon, which is a lovely venue. Tonight is to be our last night with Social Distortion in Europe, on top of the American dates that we did together last year. This, then, seems as good a time as every to say that it’s been an absolute blast, the guys in Social D and their crew have been as friendly as any band I’ve ever toured with, and we’re eternally grateful for the opportunity to play to their crowds and make new friends.
With this in mind, here’s a link to something awesome I did while we were in Berlin. I had the opportunity to interview Mike Ness for a German TV show, and the results are here (part 1, part 2). It doesn’t really come across in the footage but I was pretty nervous, but as ever, Mike was a gentleman. Enjoy.
Speaking of interacting with my peers, I finally found a clip of my time with the Weakerthans, which you can see here.
Finally, today is the start (in the UK) of National Transplant Week, which is a drive to increase the number of people registering for organ donation. It’s something that I think is a great cause and well worth supporting, so go check it out.
You can order England Keep My Bones through any of the online retailers below.
Actually registered to be an organ donor when i got my provisional a few weeks ago
slowly but surely november 27th is drawing slightly closer!!!!
nice interviews as well, keep up the good work
Great band, nice song. Thanks for sharing the links.
Great questions. Even though you might have been nervous, I think the fact that Ness felt comfortable with you led to more honest answers than we might otherwise have seen from whatever random journalist. Well done.
Great interview! Had the pleasure to catch you opening up for Social D with Lucero in Dallas this past autumn. Definitely excellent!
Frank! You are awesome, I totally adore your music, style and the magic you create.
I surely would love to lee you play live some day.
Wow, I remember asking you if you had heard of the Weakerthans last year because I thought it would be a great tour. After the video I KNOW it would be a great tour. Hook it up. Across Canada with the Weakerthans
See you in Vancouver
Well that’s one hell of a dream interview! See you in Tampa.
