Thursday's Goth, Industrial, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Synth, New Wave, Alternative Dance Party!
Thursday, June 26th, we Welcome Frenchy and the Punk featuring Special Guest dancer Belladonna Blade to join our Dark Constellation!
Frenchy and the Punk, the NY-based two-person powerhouse of sound, create their own distinct blend of post-punk, with elements of darkwave and goth rock with electro-acoustic hybrid guitars, loop pedals, fiery live acoustic and electronic percussion and synths. Drawing inspiration from post-punk legends like The Cure, the upbeat energy and percussive textures of Adam and the Ants, the bewitching mystique of Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the quirky charm of The B-52's, Frenchy and the Punk have crafted a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshing delivered in an unorthodox way.
French-born singer, keyboardist, percussionist, Samantha Stephenson, hails from a dance and art background having studied ballet, modern and hip hop as well as sculpture. Guitarist Scott Helland comes from an entirely different background, the American Hardcore Punk scene of the 80’s. Helland was a founding member and bassist of the legendary western Massachusetts hardcore band, Deep Wound that he formed with J Mascis and Lou Barlow now of Dinosaur jr. Helland still joins his old band mates on bass from time to time at clubs and arenas around the World.
Frenchy and the Punk's relentless touring, which has amounted to nearly 1500 shows, has brought them around the US, Canada, Europe and West Africa. Together Samantha and Scott’s compelling stage presence and spellbinding delivery creates an infectious and mesmerizing wall of sound that pushes the boundaries of what two people can do, what Post-Punk.com calls “…a wonderful alchemy of complementary energies.”
Their 2024 full length album, Midnight Garden, garnered rave reviews with favorites Hypnotized, Like In A Dream and the title track, Midnight Garden. www.frenchyandthepunk.com
