Finished mixing an album for New Jersey’s famed glam-cock-sleaze rockers Frankenstein 3000 last night. The album will be released on Main Man Records in the spring. If you’ve read earlier posts, you’ll recall that that’s the same guys who put out the Winter Hours tribute disc, A Few Uneven Rhymes, that we recorded a track with Matthew Caws of Nada Surf  for. F3K actually recorded the album all DIY-stylee (rather well, actually) on some sort of of Yamaha digital multitrack which actual sounds OK good except that it has a REALLY crispy-sounding brickwall limiter that kicks in if it’s seeing an input signal that scares it. Like REALLY crispy. Like Ministry record crispy. Eh, you live and learn. The band’s frontman, Keith Roth, has several cool things going for him:  1) He looks A LOT like Tommy Lee. Like if Tommy Lee was 5′ 8″  2) He’s the Host of “Electric Ballroom” on New Jersey’s WRAT   3) He DJs on Sirius/XM where he also produces New York Dolls frontman Davis Johansen’s radio show. Here’s some really shitty footage of F3K performing the Dolls’ “Lookin For A Kiss” with David Jo himself on vocals.
