Furious Frank performs a high energy gypsy-carnival rock that is neither traditional nor nostalgic, but instead a fresh fusion of familiar styles re-imagined for listeners demanding something new.

Sharing the stage with The Wailers and Buckwheat Zydeco, regularly compared to Calexico, Tom Waits and Gogol Bordello, the band defies simple description. But rest assured, they are far from subtle.
