Wred Fright

About Me

Wred Fright is the penname of Fred Wright, author of The Pornographic Flabbergasted Emus (for more info, please visit www.wredfright.com), a comedic novel about a garage rock band in a college town. The novel was originally published serially as a zine but is now published as a book by Underground Literary Alliance/Out Your Backdoor Press. He's played solo and in many bands over the years including Yeast?, GoGoBots, and Team Fright, and here on MySpace he's happy to share some of his musical recordings with readers of the Emus who may be curious to hear what the bands in the book sound like. Feel free to leave a message for Wred here, but he's here so infrequently, almost never in fact, that you might not get a reply. Contact him at wredfright AT yahoo DOT com instead.

Crickets
