About Me


..."infectious, heavy, groove orientated riff outrage with an edge like an armoured steam roller".....
Spank Sinatra (formerly the musical engine room behind Brisbane's once notorious Dreamkillers) feel an irrevocable desire to create and unleash a NEW bombardment of gloriously rockin' noise .......................'AV'SOME!!
FASTER LOUDER - APRIL 08
...entertaining, unadulterated exhibitionists. Raw, loud and melodic. Fakie and the team were superb. Sean’s guitar solos ate at the receptive audiences brains! .......JULIE-ANN ELLIS
TIME OFF MAG - MAR 08...
Remnants of The Dreamkillers have been reincarnated in the form of Brisbane punk preachers Spank Sinatra, who have just completed recording their latest album.
“There is so much screaming, riff rock and tight psycho elements in there that every time I listen to it I hear something completely new,” singer Fakington Wilde enthuses. “Sean (Witcher), our guitarist, put down so many layers of guitar that we had to bring in a second mixing desk. The recording process always changes the ways we do songs live. We’ve also got an entire ‘next album’ of new material waiting to go down, which we expect to also get recorded this year.”
The band’s songs, which contain furious screams and loud distorted guitar riffs, also carry an angry and furious undertone.
“I guess we get annoyed by stupid people. Our song ‘Slightly Twisted’ is about a person we know like that - an idiot who just doesn’t know when to call it a day. We get furious about how television and news shows make us more stupid and things that make our otherwise laid-back lives difficult. These are the things that piss us off the most. All we want to do is have a really cool time doing the stuff we like most which is hanging out with our mates, having a few beers, and having a bit of a laugh.”
Wilde says the band is eagerly awaiting playing Grungefest and looking forward to a prosperous year.
“The Jubilee seems to have turned out to be a rad place to hold these types of gigs. We played one there last year and it really rocked. Only a few people tried to set me on fire that night. I think that 2008 is shaping up sweetly for a return to real rock’n’roll, the likes of which we haven’t seen for a decade!”
