Franks Road

About Me

In June of 2005, we were driving somewhere in Peterborough, and someone suggested that the time had come to pick a name for ourselves. We’d been officially playing together for about a month and had not really thought about it. The Weathermen, the Paddles, Oats,Peas, Beans and Barley, and others even less memorable were thrown around. Then someone spoke up, “I think the name should just come to us.’ “Yeah,” echoed another in the car, “Let’s not try and force it, we’ll know when we hear it.” There was a short silence while The Pink Ghost by the Acorn filled the air. “What about Franks Road?” The rest they say, is contemporary.
