One on One with // Frankie and The Heartstrings

You’re in the middle of a UK headline tour – which shows on the tour so far stand out as being the most fun to play?

All gigs are good for many reasons, be it the venue, the crowd or the town.

If you could tour with any band who would it be?

Ermmmm… Girls from San Francisco on an American tour, or The Cribs.

How many songs have you got written for the next album?

We’re just working on new material at a steady pace and trying new ideas out at the moment, we’ve got nothing set yet.

What is your favourite venue in the world?

So far… Brixton Academy is cool.

What’s your favourite song on the first album?

Fragile.

Who were your favourite bands in your teenage years?

The Smiths, Velvet Underground, Syd Barrett, The Doors…

Have you got any advice for new bands starting off at the moment?

Just do it for yourselves and have fun, play right from the heart and give it your all!

From your drummer Dave – “Where did all the fucking booze go after the Leeds gig on Sunday?!?!”

Dennis drank it all before he left!
