Who/what is
TUBEY FRANK?
Person? Solo music project? Band? Kind of all of them! Often tough to pin down, “bedroom pop/expansive folk/psychedelic garage rock” project Tubey Frank has been compared to Spoon, Bob Dylan, Blur, Nick Hakim, Radiohead, Elliott Smith, Foo Fighters, Wilco and The Strokes.
TheTF company, fronted by Joshua Kirwin(Tubey Frank) commands the audience. Wracked with simple wit, charm and thought provoking musical choices, the song-based, collective-influenced project presents a fresh experience every live performance and studio release. Stay tuned for news about the upcoming release “Flop Rock”
