Frenzal Rhomb

You may be forgiven for thinking that Frenzal Rhomb have been quiet of late. Because Frenzal Rhomb have been quiet of late. If you call quiet the absence of noise that is. Forever Malcolm Young was the last piece of musical genius visited upon us from the Rhomb Manor, and that was back in 1976 or something stupid like that. But following the massive success of this release, our four heroes needed time to decompress, to re-evalute their lives.

Jason Whalley, lead singer and primary creative force behind the band took his good woman on a walking trek, leaving footprints all the way from Tempe through to Brighton Le Sands, living rough all the while. Tom Crease, bass and backing vocals, set sail; his viking longship "The World Of Warcrust" carving swathes through the South Australian seas, with the entire Glenelg Straight-Edge Scene as his trusty crew. Lindsay McDougall put his guitar down and locked himself in a 4 metre square room, communicating only though a series of bad puns and weather updates, which he would spit into a can attached to a piece of string attached to another can, aimed at a sewer system. And Gordy Forman singlehandedly brought justice to the Melbourne rock 'n' roll industry, successfully lobbying for maximum tightness control of black jeans and the legal permanent divorce between the words "post" and "hardcore".

So now, feet hardened from walking; skin leathered from sailing; throats hardened from shouting and pants widened from living, Frenzal Rhomb are back. Kind of. Writing some songs and stuff. A bit. When they can be bothered. And playing the No Sleep 'Til shows because of their reputation as a professional rock band, with a commanding stage presence, and coz their manager booked the whole tour.
