Frauke had their album release show two nights ago at Cake Shop and attacked the room the way they always do, with wit, guile, and tightly imperfect pop-punk songs about boyfriends in prison, fake Canadian girlfriends, and hiding one's grade school erection with a Trapper Keeper. They had the room blushing, laughing, and singing along with them in what was the band's final show for an indefinite amount of time. Yes, it's true, Frauke is with Frauke and expecting in the coming months. As a result, we expect the next Frauke show to include a brand new [...]

Who: Headlights Title: Some Racing, Some Stopping Label: Polyvinyl Release Date: Feb. 19th Thoughts: I will admit straight away that the new Headlights album, Some Racing, Some Stopping, falls somewhere in the realm between accepted, hip listening and total guilty pleasure; but, we really shouldn't be judging albums by their cool factor but by the way they make us feel. And Some Racing... makes
Checking back in with Frauke (first featured on EAR FARM back in mid-April ) reveals them to be one hot band of yeti hunters. They've just recently played a Hot Rocks show , are set to play Cake Shop in the near future (see below), and have written what could very well be the Summer jam of 2007. I decided to get back in touch with Frauke for another interview via IM... EAR FARM: hello Frauke Frauke: hello [...]
Frauke is a bit of an elusive band. There band bio starts of, "Frauke is formed by Frauke, Frauke, and Frauke. Frauke is an experimental bone jam band of Germans from the Black Mountains of Brooklyn, NY". Basically, if I digested this correctly it means there are three members of the band and they all live in Brooklyn. And really that's enough for me to know about the band because it's their music that keeps me coming back for more. Obviously the band is a bit humorous and that comes across in their songs as male and female [...]
Get pumped with a new Frauke song: Canadian Girlfriend - mp3 Here's a review of the song via the USSR music magazine, Approved Entertainment for Soviet Comrade Listening, which was reprinted in the June 1973 issue of Rolling Stone: Let's put it simply: Frauke's newly recorded song, "Canadian Girlfriend," is set to be a summer classic. It tells the tale of a glorious summer romance that happened on the beach…OR DOES IT?!? Maybe it's all just a lie fabricated by a nerdy, friendless loser, who's such a [...]
(post Siren party) TV Note #1: Is there anyone else that really hates the girl that plays Sally on Flight of the Conchords? Its bad enough that she was annoying on the Clueless TV show, but now she's breaking the hearts of my boys Bret and Jermaine - that is unacceptable! Bitch needs a smackdown!!! I probably should have posted about the White Rabbits Daytrotter session already, but I suppose its better late then never. Anyway, the band has an excellent session there, is opening up Siren on [...]
And now for something entirely German, not entirely German, and completely unique. Who/what is Frauke ? How is Frauke ? Why is Frauke ? When is Frauke , and where? Our first explanation comes from their very own bio: " Frauke is formed by Frauke, Frauke, and Frauke. Frauke met Frauke in Germany, and Frauke introduced Frauke to Frauke in Germany. Frauke is a she. Frauke wants you to dance, stop dancing. Frauke wants to play love songs for you but they are songs [...]
