Please visit www.frankbang.com for all band details... My Name is Francis Blinkal AKA Frank Bang. I've been a professional musician all my life. Mostly witth The Buzz or Buddy Guy. Now I have my own band, Frank Bang & The Secret Stash. Love my wife , my two sons, and my family. Also have a thing for Da BEARS win or lose, and latin ladies. My wife is cuban. Love playin with Bob and Ryan. I get asked what kind of band we are, all the time. We play Music, No really. I can tell you what kind of band we're NOT...We don't all have stupid nicknames like Frankie Ford, Bobby Socks or Ryan "The Fib" Fitzgerald. We are actually from Chicago, Born and raised here. Not Indiana or the QuadCities passing ourselves off as Native Chicago. I used to play in Blues Bands like Buddy Guy and Otis Rush. Used to chase Magic Slim and The Teardrops all over town, when they used to play in Chicago 55 nights a week and live here. O.K I 'm dating myself..We LIVE THIS SHIT! I grew up learning from the biggest Outlaws there ever was... Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. WE ARE NOT A BLUES BAND, But the music does father us..Check out our tunes and leave me a message.
Peace, love ya live.
Frank

I figure today is a good day (4/20) to share my stash.I added "Livin' for Your Love" by Frank Bang's Secret Stash, as my current song! It's a great tune with a cool hook. Listen one minute and thirty seconds in and you'll actually hear some banjo. I have seen them a few times and they magnify rock! Find they're profile in my TOP FWENZ, THEYS SO LOWD! They are a solid act, always playing in and out of town, and worthy of your busy little ears. Til next time.......MOKEUPSUHWHEEEEEE!
Thought of you last night...went to see Shine a Light (the Stones movie on IMAX), and Buddy Guy comes out to play with them. Holy smokes is it awesome! Anyways...the fabulous tunes made me think of you guys.
