Frank & Janea at The Mess

Formed in 1994 this Richmond, Virginia band is pure Power Pop. They cite the following bands as having influenced them. The Jam, The Beatles, Guided By Voices, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Smiths, The Buzzcocks, Beach Boys, Echo and The Bunnymen, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, The Sex Pistols and The Stone Roses. Relocated to Los Angeles in 2001, this band has had critical success, and has developed a loyal following. The two key members, Tom Richards and Ricky Tubb have forged ahead thru numerous difficulties and personnel changes to establish themselves through sheer determination and talent as a band to reckon with. The addition of Bass player Emma Jenson has brought a new breadth of material and vocal ability to an already top notch song creation team. Rock On.
