We will be pulling the plug on the great legacy that is Frankie’s Pizza on our 10th Birthday, December 11. But what will the evening actually entail? And how the Hell will half of Sydney fit into our 400 cap cave?
The latter we’ll need to figure on the fly, but what’s planned in terms of times & programming we can now share.
Doors from 4, as per our original recipe it’s free entry, everyone’s invited and we recommend an early arrival.
OPENING CEREMONY from 5, certain aspects of this remain smothered in secret sauce, but Sydney’s meteoric REDHOOK will be fisting out the first riffs of the festus!
From 7, we bust into a bill of entertainment built on bands that typify venue ethos and speak from the heart.
Opening with Melb Punks, WOLFPACK, Syd thrashers, FLAMING WREKAGE, the Lemmy Lager Party Band (our own Motörhead tribute show feat a slew of big-name guest appearances), and finally, the band Lemmy Kilmister himself labelled “America’s last great Rock & Roll band” – NASHVILLE PUSSY.
Frankie’s Dreamteam DJs will do what they do best, Puz will be in Booth 1, and the immortal book of RocknRoll lore is likely to grow a fresh page or more.
