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 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. I am actually from Chicago, Born and raised here. Not Indiana or the QuadCities passing myself off as Native Chicago. I used to play in Blues Bands like Buddy Guy and The Buzz. 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 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.
