About the event
Fresh off of their 2024 UK tour and the release of their album Midnight Garden, Frenchy and the Punk bring their artful two-person powerhouse of sound to The Crack Fox on July 23rd.
Frenchy and the Punk have forged their own distinct path since 2005, touring across the US and Europe. 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, they have crafted a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly authentic delivered in an unorthodox way. Post-Punk.com called their 2022 release, Zen Ghost, “a wonderful alchemy of complimentary energies."
The pair is proof positive that opposites really do attract. French-born singer/percussionist and former ballet dancer Samantha Stephenson, fronts the duo with her sultry yet powerful voice, often likened to iconic legends Siouxsie Sioux, Grace Slick and Florence Welch. Coupled with the melodic electro/acoustic guitar stylings and looping mastery of her American-born partner and former hardcore punk bassist Scott Helland (Deep Wound, Outpatients), the dynamic partnership is a force to be reckoned with. A real life love story against the backdrop of an unwavering dedication to the art of music and creativity as a lifestyle and personal journey.
