FRANKENBOK Latest Update

Metallers FRANKENBOK have recently published their latest studio update via the band’s official website: www.frankenbok.com

Here is what Timbok [bass and vocals] had to say;

"Because we enjoy snookering ourselves we took a quick break from recording to drive up to Windsor, NSW, for the Dimebag birthday show at the Jolly Frog. Every time it is Bok o’clock & we need to hit da road we have to dismantle and rebuild the ‘Ol Mill studio from recording studio to rehearsal space. Mick’s B52 bass drum mikes double as the bass guitar mikes and need to be surgically removed, implanted and back again, speakers and amps need to be re-jigged, cobwebs have to be blown out of the repertoire, heads need to be shaved, hair needs to be moussed, chastity belts must be locked etc. When Frankenbok decides to shift gears a lot of adjusting, maneuvering and fidgeting needs to be performed. Time is often an issue (you can’t make working class metal without actually being working class, you see?) so evasive action is often required.

"Anyway, the drive up north was a piece of piss (Whoppers w/cheese were in season) & we quickly discovered upon arrival that the people at the mighty Frog really like to stay up late, drink & let off steam. At one point during Dine In Hel I looked over and saw Azza, during his guitar solo, sitting on a punter who had landed on stage, face up. This particular audience member had been quite insistent all night that the Bok Fucken Rock!. So does he apparently. Another fella was kind enough to answer Yeti’s plea to help stave off dehydration & brought a tray of fresh beer to the rescue (health & safety of the performers well-being is obviously of paramount importance in this neck of the woods)…most of which were kicked all over the stage.

"We showcased a bunch of new tunes that we’ve been workin’ on (with the exception of Fukenkuntz – to show Frankenbok’s appreciation of the Windsor mosh pit representatives) & worked out that our new stuff is certainly danceable & invigorating. I should mention that some of the dudes on the sidelines only took to the dance floor when I suggested that they may be a bunch of homos (not that there’s anything wrong with that). If there was a full moon it was definitely waning over Windsor.

"Meanwhile, the record is taking shape and Reggie’s preliminary mixes are blowing our collective arse out. The sessions are slowly boiling down to guitar solos (you can’t go to hell without them) and the growling and snarling from Dan, myself and anyone else who needs to vent their spleen. Yeti Van Halen has been laying down guitar parts at his King Lake studio and let it be known that he won’t hit the red button until he’s absolutely sure that he has JIST of it… Get this into ya! Tim Finish Him."
