the late Frank Jordan

Last year I saw Frank Jordan play at least six times in different venues in Sacramento, and have been eagerly awaiting the release of their new album. This morning I just discovered that they're no longer a band, although it looks like they're playing one last show August 6th at the Khyber in Philadelphia before calling it quits for good. This news is disappointing because I really thought they had the talent to do something big, and I always wanted to get to the point one day where I could approach them and say, hey, will you compose a soundtrack to this movie I'm writing? - or perhaps some other type of collaboration. Obviously this was just a pipe dream, but it still sounds nice as I reflect on it now.

Anyway, here's to the late Frank Jordan, who between them and the Low Flying Owls are the two greatest bands Sacramento has ever produced (in my opinion), which is saying something considering this scene was also responsible for Cake and The Deftones. Perhaps a little time away will spur them to reconsider their plans.
