Frankie & The Deadbeats

Na scénu vtrhli v roce 2021 debutovým albem The Shining. Na prvotině představili svůj charakteristický zvuk, v němž se misí Americana s temnějšími odnožemi alternativního country a rock 'n' rollem. O dva roky později posunuli hranice s druhou deskou The Possibility That Love Is Not Enough. Kapela výrazně obohatila instrumentaci o banjo, trubku, klavír i hammondky a doplnila ženské vokály.

Kočovníci Frankie & The Deadbeats sice mají kořeny v Česku, ale jako hudební projekt míří daleko za naše hranice. Na svém kontě mají nejen dvě akustická turné napříč Spojenými státy, ale také několik zastávek po Evropě nebo vystoupení na makedonském showcaseovém festivalu PIN. Zkušenosti ze zahraničních pódií dokazují, že tahle parta dokáže přesvědčit kohokoliv o tom, že kovbojské klobouky, košile a country patří mezi nejžhavější české exportní artikly.

Frankie & The Deadbeats

Urban cowboys with a punk past, Frankie & The Deadbeats perfect their modern take on country music down to the last detail – sometimes with costumes included. They firmly believe that this genre belongs to everyone. Although they used to sweat blood in the dive bars of the local punk scene (playing in bands like Hanba, Prague Conspiracy, and Unholy Preachers), it was ultimately a shared love for campfires that brought them together.

They burst onto the scene in 2021 with their debut album, The Shining. This first record introduced their signature sound, blending Americana and a darker strain of alternative country with rock 'n' roll. Two years later, they pushed their boundaries with their sophomore album, The Possibility That Love Is Not Enough. The band significantly expanded their instrumentation with the banjo, trumpet, piano, and Hammond organ, while also adding female vocals.

While the nomadic Frankie & The Deadbeats may have their roots in Czechia, their musical ambitions reach far beyond its borders. They already have two acoustic tours across the United States under their belts, along with several European tour stops and a performance at the PIN music showcase in North Macedonia. Their experience on international stages proves that this crew can convince just about anyone that cowboy hats, western shirts, and country music are among the hottest Czech exports right now.
