Frank Tribes is a songwriter/performer based in Chicago. For several years prior to going solo in 2001, he was a member of the well established and eclectic Garden Bower, along with childhood friend, Rob Bochnik, a guitarist currently with the Frames. In 2002 he released his debut self-titled album, followed by his well- received 2nd album, “By All Means,” released in 2004.
“GALLERY” is his new, 3rd album. It was recorded and co-produced with Ellis Clark (Epicycle, Kevin Tihista, Le Concorde.) The Beatles, Syd Barrett-Pink Floyd, Echo & the Bunnymen, David Bowie and Neil Young. Elements of such artists are borrowed, yet the songs make their own statement. Well crafted music, strong melodies and insightful lyrics come together in a unique way. It's classic pop rock by style, yet it sounds only like him. Many lovers of rock music will want to have this album among their collection. (albums available at www.franktribes and CDbaby.com)
Recently performed at House of Blues & Cubby Bear.

Oh the dark and twisted things my mom did to me.....after all she was a 2nd grade teacher until she retired. She didn't believe in grounding or anything traditional. Why do you think I'm the way I am????
World Pillow Fight Day IN FRONT OF THE Art Institute of Chicago
Tickets: Free
Description:
If you haven't slugged anyone over the head with a pillow since a fifth grade slumber party, here's your chance to get back in the game. The Pillow Fight Club, a selfstyled group of pillow-fight promoters, calls on the entire city to take their pillows to the streets, engage the enemy and let the feathery fallout begin. Prizes will be awarded for the best decorated pillow and best costume.
Ah yes, I fully expected you would micro-manage the tunes!!! GOOD FOR YOU...should be perfect with you in control! Silvies - We have lots to catch up on... What time?
What up brother. Compliments on the show at Uncommon Ground. You played well. I enjoyed the Neil Young Cover. Try and play another show that's 18+ or lend me your ID. I'll buy stilts. Later.
I was recently looking through the comments made about my music and I was touched by many of them. I just wanted to say thank you. I also want to mention that I am currently in the process of moving back to NYC after four years in India. When I arrive I will be working to complete my new album 'Weightless'. I will let you know when it is done.
Peace and Love, Salvadore Poe

Great set Monday night. And thanks for the CD, we listened to it on our way home and really enjoyed it. Let us know if you ever make it down to the middle of Missouri.
