    Franklern, this time I genuinely do mean thanks for the constructive critcism. We're all for people having their own opinion on what we do and of course it's not going to appeal to everyone. Hope you understand that you're first post just seemed like a dig and nothing else, y'know? Anyway, thanks for taking the time to listen to the tunes. The only way we'll get better is through people telling us what they like and don't like!

    Heno, glad to hear you fellas are still alive :) Will definitely give you a shout if we're in the Waterford area. It'd be nice to get out of Dublin and on the road. Make sure you get your asses up here for another gig soon, alright? Take it easy!

    After a month's band holiday, Flash My Frankenstein are back in the freshly-built rehearsal room at FMF HQ.

    We shall be playing The Sugar Club on Friday the 7th of April. We may also be playing in NCAD this Wednesday, but this is to be confirmed.

    Be good!

    FMF play NCAD tomorrow night!

    Students only, so if you be one of 'em, then we hope to see you there! If you be not one, then we can't stress enough how much you shouldn't try and sneak in to see us for free. Even if it IS very easy to do... ;)

    Hi sean,
    I had a listen to your tracks over the weekend. There really cool. There's definitely a Zappa influence there that i didnt notice in the live show. Maybe i was too busy dancing. MAN, MY FEET!!!!! I JUST FEEL LIKE DANCING!!

    EDIT: Any chance of getting us on the bill on a friday in the sugar club in the coming months??

    Alrighty, who wants some unmastered MP3's from our demo? Huh? HUH?!?


    Moonshine & The Mountain Folk
    Sarsaparilla
    The Setup

    Recorded in Guinea Pig studios, Malahide.
    Engineered by Mark Reidy & Keith Lawless


    We'll be heading back into studio to master these tunes in November, so I'll replace them then. As usual, feedback (good and bad!) is much appreciated!
    Just some nitpicking to improve things. I think the sung melody is a bit wobbly on both the intros of Moonshine and Sarsapilla. It sounds a bit like singer is improvising loosely over the music, and therefore taking a backseat when he should be leading.

    I'd clean that up a bit on subsequent demos and you should have a pretty good few tracks to present.

    Do you remember Joe Bowie's Defunkt? There's a lot to be learnt from them, particularly in the overall mix of horns and other (Jesus, I nearly said "real") instruments.

    Cheers Michael, thanks for taking the time to listen to (Jesus, I nearly said "critique") the tunes!

    We'll be doing some more recordings over the next 2 months, and we'll take into account what you said. The first demo was exactly that, "our first demo". So we went very straight forward with the sound. We'll be looking to get something a bit more dynamic and less "shiny" with the next one.

    The singer is me, by the way, so thanks for the tips. We can just keep it between you and me, so. And the Internet :) Do you mean they should be a bit more rhythmical, or do you mean they need a bit more "attack", as it were?

    Thanks again!

    After a month and a half cooked up in the rehearsal room, FMF are back with a slew of new material and gigs to match.

    The next show is on this Thursday the 15th of June in Pravda, Liffey St. It's part of the 'La Republique', which showcases "2 live acts, 4 DJ's, short films from rising Irish talent and visual art exhibitions". FMF should be on for the bones of an hour and the whole night is FREE in. So get yourselves down there and scream!

    A full list of upcoming gigs along with some newly uploaded photos are available at: http://www.flashmyfrankenstein.com

    Cheers, chern0byl. And thanks to Rob and the lads for coming to see us!

    FMF are playing 2 dates this weekend at the Dalkey Arts Festival. Both gigs are in Ivory in Dalkey Village, and both are outdoor (above the beer garden - no better place!).

    Tonight (Friday 28th), we hit the stage at 20:00
    Sunday the 30th, we'll be on at 18:00

    As with all live shows at the festival, the concerts are ***FREE*** (bolded, and with 3 stars no less) so you've no excuse for not getting your asses down there!
