THE FRANTICS have been together since 1989 and over this time have built up a wide variety of 'classics' in their list, able to cater to a wide audience, as well as keeping up with popular ‘top 40’ hits.
THE FRANTICS are a 4 piece band - two males and two females. They are a very strong vocal line up with extensive stage and musical experience. They play guitars, (electric & acoustic) keyboards & percussion and use sequenced backing for drums and bass. They are also able to offer an extensive list of acoustic material for that intimate or less formal occasion. THE FRANTICS can also provide a three piece or duo group for smaller functions.
THE FRANTICS have supported many local artists, entertainers and international celebrities as a band and also as individuals. They perform throughout Melbourne and Victoria for weddings, balls, dinner dances, large corporate functions and public performances. If you require an M.C. for your function they are able to perform this task also.
