PRESS QUOTES:
A classic rock feel that’s more Black Crowes and Buckcherry than Dark Side of the Moon, Third Frate brings a sound and style to their live show that makes you sit back and say, “Wow!”
The band that formed from the ashes of Vinyl Groove in 2004, consists of brothers Jeremy Francis (guitars and vocals) and Tim Francis (drums, percussion, vocals), as well as Nate Hall (bass, vocals). After starting out playing mostly cover shows to pay the bills, Third Frate started throwing original tunes into their cover sets and eventually built a solid catalog of original songs.
After playing more and more original shows in the Omaha scene, the band recorded their first album, “Low Commotion,” in 2006 at the renowned Bassline Studio in Omaha, and that album has sold over 400 copies to date. The nine-song disc, released on C-Dub Chateau Records, successfully captured the essence of their music; it rocks, it’s danceable, it’s heartfelt, and most of all, it’s fun. Come to any Third Frate show and you’ll get the exact same experience.
Since the release of “Low Commotion,” Third Frate has played shows all over Nebraska, including Kearney, Barnestom, David City, Scribner, Lincoln, Fremont, Elkhorn, Hooper, Winslow and Bennington. During that time they’ve shared the stage with Steve Ewing (of the Urge), Anchondo, Sarah Benck and the Robbers, Ten O’Clock Scholars, and countless others. Their recently released single “Hang On (Let Go)” has received airplay on 89.7 the River’s P.S. Blues and Planet O shows and their song “I’m What You Came Here To Do,” has also been played on 89.7’s Planet O Show. That song was also performed on local entertainment news show, KXVO, when they were invited to be band of the week in the fall of 2006. They later won a spot back on the KXVO news when they took home first place at a University of Nebraska at Omaha Battle of the Bands in the winter of 2007.
“The album sounds great. Its got a lot of different influences...but predominately just rock.”
-KXVO (Omaha, NE)
