The Bubble was recently invaded by some rad rockers, Burning Avalanche. These guys are awesome; great sense of humor, very playful, neat characters, and they love rock n’ roll! All of these traits are certainly reflected in their bad ass tunes. Frenchie really enjoyed working with them as a band and as individuals.
Check out a newly finished song and be sure to catch them live- they have some gigs coming up!
On October 3rd, the Irish Rock band, The Answer, released their album Revival produced by Chris “Frenchie” Smith.
We’re excited to announce that Revival has recently entered into the Top 40 Album Charts in the United Kingdom!
We’re so proud of them, they are truly a legendary Rock band! The band claims this is their best record yet and are very appreciative of Frenchie’s work.
This amazing video is dedicated to Frenchie, whom became a dear friend to The Answer during the production of their 3rd album.
However, I am definitely not going to miss the GREAT bands playing at Emo’s this Monday the 19th!
Sleepy Sun (ATP Records)from California will be headlining, perhaps allowing a “come down” from a previous Smoke and Feathers (CLICK to hear "Gypsy") trip, which was also induced quickly to the blood stream by The St. James Society. WHOO!
Who needs ACL when we’ve got good substance (and by “substance” I mean MUSIC) and it only costs 8 bucks? We’re in a drought, please be careful standing in a field for hours…
Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see Mavis Staples.
“Sleepy Sun as archetypal stoner-rockers– with Constantino’s vaporous vocals floating atop a subterranean fuzz bassline, molten guitar leads, and drum fills that roll right off of Bill Ward’s tom-tom rack–”
-Stuart Berman, Pitchfork
