FROGS ON TOAST

FROGS ON TOAST was born in early 1999 and their popularity has soared since the moment Madame Moselle strode onto the stage and announced (to the peasants) "I am French! And therefore, I HATE everybody!"

Madame Moselle is in love with M'sieur Le Gendarme who is in love with M'moiselle Ooh La La who is in love with everyone!

 

 

With great songs from the sixties to the present day hits, and great harmonies from three front-line vocalists, this Showband is hard to beat. Combine this with hilarious comedy, great costumes, audience interaction, extremely bad French accents and a host of lampooned Megastars and you have FROGS ON TOAST.

As Madame would say, "Come on in, peasants, and 'ave a leetle peek!"

Jeff Vandenberg (alias Napoleon Bony Part) is the bass player and Manager of FROGS ON TOAST. Jeff has been in the music arena for a very long time and Frogs On Toast is the culmination of a lifetime of working in every type of band imaginable and ending up in what can only be described as ... well, Frogs on Toast I guess! It took only twenty-five years to become a typical 'overnight' success.

 

Jeff gained management skills in the Public Service but despite this, he successfully manages FROGS. Originally starting out as a guitarist, he soon came to realise that playing bass only involved four strings instead of six. He really wanted to be a drummer because they only use two sticks, further cutting down the number of things to concentrate on.

 

Jeff has two basses, one much loved Fender Precision and an Ibanez Ergadine bass. The much-loved Fender weighs a ton so he had to change to the lighter bass.

 

Like Napoleon, Jeff hails from Europe, a small country called Holland where the weather is cold and soccer is played 8 days a week. Had he not come to Australia in 1968 Jeff would have certainly been a professional soccer player. He averaged 25 goals per season and won the prestigious………oh sorry - got carried away there. Jeff's real passion is music and together with his soul mate and partner, Trish Allen (Madame Moselle)

Frogs On Toast is a force to be reckoned with.

They will not rest nor be satisfied until Frogs have done their overseas tour of duty and performed in Las Vegas, Tokyo, the Asia Pacific, the world and who knows where after that? In the meantime Napoleon is trying very hard to rally his troops to conquer the whole of this great country called Australia.

Jeff's Motto?

Trish Allen (alias Madame Moselle, NOT Jack Daniels or Tequilla) has had undisclosed years in the music industry - last best guess from the rest of the band was ... let's see.... 50 years?

Born in London, Trish began her career with an Irish Showband and toured the UK extensively before packing her bags and sailing Australia on one of the last convict ships to....... oh, sorry - sailing to Australia and becoming 'Neutralized'.

 

With an abundance of experience including TV & radio advertising, theatre, promotional engagements and lead vocals in every type of band imaginable, Trish was resp
