Frolic Rock

Nancy and Steve have, with the recent demise of The Negotiators, renamed their duo act. They are now known as 'Frolic'. I hope to keep you all updated with where and when they will be playing.

I went up and watched them play at Burra on September 14. Amazingly, I wasn't the only one to make the trip up from Adelaide just for the occasion! There were a total of five of us. Not bad for a duo to have a following that's willing to go that far. I think it meant a lot to them that we all made the effort. I know we all enjoyed the show. So thanks all round.

My own thoughts were several. Firstly, that they're pretty good performers. I don't much like midi based pub entertainment as a general rule, always seems like a humanised juke box full of fakers. Not Frolic, however! They really rocked it out within the limitations of the midi situation. The audience loved them!

Which leads me to my second point - as fun as it was and as good as they are at performing, Nancy in particular belongs in front of a band with a show like the one she puts on! The computer based music of the midi just doesn't have enough guts for what she does. That's just my opinion, but after enjoying Frolic and can see why people would come and see her regularly fronting a band.

So, you might be interested to know that Nancy Steve and I are playing with a couple of other blokes, Gary (Bass) and Mark (Drums) with the aim of playing a gig someone has asked us to do in December. So, I managed to get away from rock'n'roll for all of a couple of weeks before turning up to turn it up again.

It's a very hard game to leave!
