Frogg Cafe

Huge fan of their Creatures album, but realize that not many people are familiar with them. Anyone who listens to them wanna show a little love?

Count me in as a fan.  Creatures is a great album.  Some of their others are pretty good as well.

Thats what I thought to, wonder what we saw in it that other people didn't

From Lima, here's César Inca, another huge fan of FROGG CAFÉ. "Creatures" is my fave album by them.

 

       Kind regards.

Yeah, I've known these guys personally before I ever heard their music.  We have hung out at a number of Nearfests together, very fun bunch of New Yorkers.  Creatures is a great album, but I'm partial to the last one myself (Fortunate Observer).  A great conceptual piece with interlocking themes and melodies (except the song Abyss Of Dissension which isn't part of the concept, as it was written by the bass player).

My understanding is they plan to have it out within the next month or two.  They are all full time music teachers and have families, so getting an album recorded is a big job in their free time.  As I understand it, it's also the most difficult material they've ever come up with, especially Frank Camiola's stuff.  I'm psyched he's back in the band, as he's the band member I am closest to personally.

I can't claim to be a huge fan, but the Frogg's are definitely worth exploring.

I haven't heard anything, sadly. :\

Haven't heard Creatures.  Keep meaning to get that one.    But I loved Fortunate Observer of Time and the Bateless Edge.  

I know the bass player, and basically the band is done.  The keyboardist has carpel tunnel in both hands, so can't play keys anymore (though still plays trumpet).  There has been talk of doing a different project/band with various members, but haven't heard anything beyond that.  It's possible they might do more in the future (with a different keys player, obviously), but probably just studio work (Frank, the guitarist, has tinnitus and won't do live work anymore).

I was afraid that that might be the case.  I'm sorry to hear that band members have health problems as a result of playing their music.  They are a really enjoyable band so it sounds as though we will have to keep our ears open to see if they come up with something else, even if under a different name.
