Frank Macias

About Me


Frank was born and bred in San Antonio, Texas (USA) and under the influence of his father (Frank L Macias) started playing the guitar at about five years of age. He picked up his fathers Gibson Les Paul Gold Top whenever he could sneak it out. Frank developed his style on stage at 17 playing in numerous bands. His true musical training came from performing with his father and learning to play the blues by the seat of his pants. With the blues as his master, and Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan as his influences (later coming to see his father play a few times before hitting the big time) Frank sold his soul at the crossroads and set off writing and singing the Blues. Even a stint in the US Navy couldn’t stop the music. Whilst in the navy the USS Missouri purchased PA equipment so that the Frank and the boys could entertain the troops on the way to the Gulf War. When Frank returned to Texas he joined a band called Gypsy. During his 18 months with Gypsy he toured Texas and opened for some international acts including the Screaming Jets. Frank emigrated to Australia 16 years ago and has toured most of NSW with a number of bands and performing many different forms of music from metal to funk but born by birthright into the blues. In bands such as Enemy Me (whose drummer went on to play with the Vines) and Ground B. He is now fronting his own band - Neon Soul. Frank is fast becoming a contender for the live music scene and writes the music and lyrics for the entire original music performed by Neon Soul.

Sounds Like: Sending a message - Sending a message to you. You must think that this life is a joke. Trying to sell me and each one of us for broke. I won’t ask you for nothing because if I knew then what I know now I would of never given my life to you for nothing. Your new world order - exploitation of the underprivileged. Keep the machine well oiled as long as they keep giving. I served my time and you cut me lose like I was nothing. I made my mistakes but you could never see to forgive me. Instead of helping me you made a mess of me. These here streets in my heart embedded deep in me. My only crime was hurting my own mind. But, unlike you - I forgive and time after time I try to trust you. Oh yea dog - I try.

Sending a message - Sending a message to you. Washington and Lincoln must be turning over in their graves. What ever happened to we the people and the price we pay. And all those that try to do the same wind up shot and or jailed. Nothing but love in vain. Just ask Kennedy after Kennedy - Luther after Luther - Christ after Christ - the one we all scraficed. For teaching us the way to the truth and the light. He broke bread, bleed and died for you. Walk this earth and hung on the cross for you. And still he couldn’t get through to you. Whats it gonna take when dying don’t mean a thing to you. Cant see past the greed and all those dollar sign in front of you. Ah man cant you see that you cant take it with you. Are you just as blind.

Sending a message - sending a message to you. Little solo in your words explosions of mass destruction. If we are not with you then against you man. Who you trying to fool. We live in poverty - we labor like dogs - break our backs. While actors, pop musicians and politicians live it up - In the lap of luxury. Big ol mansions - Fancy clothes - limousines and wild women. All kinds of shit most of us will never see. And some of those things we don’t even want to be. Your Stripping our souls, hearts and minds from us. Now you’re deporting and jailing people for falling in love with you. The ones stealing just to have a piece of you - Or fighting to keep what they got cuz it’s not as much as you. And I know you’d fight if it was the same for you. If your rights were being taken away from you.

Sending a message - sending a message to you. Kids stealing just for a pair of Nike shoes. And out there killing cuz they can’t handle the blues. Selling themselves for drugs to hide the pain - numb the brain. What is this world coming to? If you can’t afford to buy you might as well die. Building your propaganda machine at the cost of all our lives. You’re new world order. Better clean your own back yard before you go converting people you don’t even know. They look at you and call me a joke. Your kids - like my kids are scared to walk the streets with you doing what you’re doing. Yet you want us to have more to suit your own needs. So you can keep doing what you’re doing. Offering money - showing your greed and when we can’t pay the rent you’ll be kicking them to the curb and onto the street. And out here they’re just another casualty. Don’t matter how many die. Just as long as you survive and this is what you want the rest of the world to be. You better take a look deep inside befor you cross that line.

Sending a message - sending a message to you. And you don’t think from out here we can’t see? That the lives - yea our lives - don’t mean nothing. You have to be joking thinking that were that blind. Walking so high and mighty. Talking if we don’t like it - just close our eyes because its coming - whether we like it or not!! And that doesn’t sound like democracy but hypocracy. Don’t think that what I am saying is I don’t love you - cuz its only been you. But time is changing and things are jumping up and down and rearranging. And we the people are lost here in your world. Just want a chance to touch the free world. But when we look in the mirror we can see that we are not so free at all. And we the people are lost here in your world just want a chance to touch the free world.
