Franky's Evil Party, Scotland On Sunday, 23 September 2018

Published in Scotland On Sunday, 23 September 2018 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. See Scotsman.com in association with AIM (Association of Independent Music) FRANKY'S EVIL PARTY Artist of the Week in Scotland On SundayWe first experienced Franky's Evil Party last year in their hometown as part of Dumfries Music Conference. The band announced their arrival on Scotland’s music scene, proper in February with the intriguingly titled track, Dolph Lundren. Featuring a driving bass underpinning frontman Josh Kirk’s menacing vocal it sounds like he could suddenly climb through the speaker and headbutt the listener.The resultant attention was enough to secure the Dumfries quartet a showcase slot at XpoNorth in June, which also marked the release of the song King, the embodiment of their self-described “industrial twist on sleazy disco.”The band began September with a performance at Electric Fields and are now set to finish the month with another festival slot, this time at Tenement Trail multi-venue extravaganza. Franky's Evil Party are planning a series of shows to finish 2018 setting them up for the release of their debut EP in the new year.
