The Freaks

There are a few bands known as the Freaks. 1. Freaks: A house duet.
2. the Freaks: A Polish punk band
3. And this Dutch band whose this page is about. From: 2006 - 2009 Holland's most sexy upcoming band. Raw rock grooves and a funky swing sway that makes the audience go ape! The music is vibing and is a sexy mixture of various styles, originally woven into a whole. With a deviating line-up, containing organ and sax, givin' it even more freak edge! The melodies differ from dark rock sounds to happy jazzy and subtle funk flavours, never average, always correct.

Frank Rizzo

HISTORY (JUNE 2005 -FEBRUARY 2008) FRANK RIZZO was born June 2005. With all members (Nick, Troy, Grant, Scotty, Matt and Romano) being massive fans of telephone pranksters The Jerky Boys for years, we thought it would be funny to start a 6-piece thrash band with a bit of tongue in cheek madness. After constantly reading about all these bands forming using peoples names as their band name (we still don’t know why bands do that), there was no other option than to name ours after one of our imaginery heroes, FRANK RIZZO, the underground mob-gangster-icon from Chicago.
