Now that I've had some time to breathe it's time to update the pages, I've uploaded photos from last Sunday's Frank The Baptist show, put on by Hidden Treasure Music on the FTB facebook page. It was the best Chameleons show I've ever seen and we had a blast playing. The new songs (Which made up half of the set) were far better received than expected, good motivation to put out the new album. A big thanks to Ian P. Christ, Ina Diocan, Thomas Mixmeister for the sound, The Audience (Who were FAR too kind) and especially our cronies who got on stage for the sing along in "If I Speak". You'll see their mugs on the stage in the photos.

pre-production

The vocal recordings for the pre-production demo went quickly and well so far. It definitely added to the excitement of a new album. Will others like the new songs as much as I do? Can you possibly fathom the size of the shit I do not give? :)
By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes.
Cheers and love,

FTB

Frank The Baptist Tattoo

Frank the Baptist is truly honored by this work of art and gesture. The artwork is reminiscent of the last FTB album design and FTB t-shirt artwork. Check the hat band.
