Dear Frankie

So, as I've mentioned, I've recently started a band, with two and a half of my friends, called Dear Frankie. We've written at least one song (together) and multiple others. Our music would be described as... perhaps sad, perhaps angry. Perhaps even a little happy. It's rock...pop...y... stuff. Alternative I supose.

(A word on our styles: We have all sortof created our own images of the music we want to play based on our musical idols. Mine would be mainly Elton John(My favorite as I love piano and play it) and Queen. Though I love almost all music and think very highly of other artists(Ben Folds, Eminem, Arcade Fire, etc.). The others (we shall call them Little Joanna and Dookie and the Other. At times I'm know as Muse #3.) listen to other artists. Obviously. Dookie is a little punker indeed! Haha. She enjoys My Chemical Romance, and Greenday. Mostly (I think) Greenday.(She also went through several years of Hip-hop and R&B) Little Joanna is the same. (I also love those artists and have seen Greenday in concert with Dookie) As for the Other, I really don't know. So there it is.)

In regards to the players in the band, we basically don't know many instruments, but are working it out. =) Little Joanna is the main singer, with Dookie and I singing occasionally (similar to McFly or Arcade Fire). We're hoping she'll learn Bass as well. Dookie is learning pick guitar (mainly from me telling her what I want her to do hah) and has played piano for a while. The Other is the keyboardist. I play rhythm/pick guitar, piano(mainly), bit of harmonica..., and can play bass a little. In other words: we are trying to figure out a Bassist and a Drummer(Dookie would like to do this).

Alright. So that's the "brief" overview.
