SUMMARY:Rolodex Darko @ Silence
DESCRIPTION:Frankie Teardop\nFrankie Teardrop are a No-Wave duo from Kitchener\, Ontario. They enjoy long walks on the beach\, warm summer nights\, and atonality.\n\n\nDreamWalker Equinox\nAncient Deities\, Atrocious Abominations and Lovecraftian horrors DreamWalker Equinox break past the illusion of reality and depict what lies beyond the world of man.  This 5 piece heavy metal band from Guelph\, Ontario\, combines skull crushing riffs\, soul piercing melodies\, thunderous drum lines and powerful vocals straight from the bowels of hell.\n\nrolodex darko\nrolodex darko fuse avant-garde experimentation\, funk\, and noise with the throat-shredding screams of lead singer—and former choir girl—Bob Stan. Known for ditching streaming platforms entirely\, the band insists you come to a show if you want to hear them at all. Their live show shifts with every venue\, thanks to a constantly changing setlist and stage configuration that rejects the traditional rock layout and heightens the sense of unpredictability. At the end of each performance\, rolodex darko reward their most fervent listeners with a small run of blood-marked envelopes containing a single-track CD and a free ticket to the next gig—but with each disc holding only one random song\, collecting the full catalogue demands dedication\, repeat attendance\, and a bit of luck.

The recording features the NDR Bigband in Hamburg with Mr. Hagans as guest composer\, conductor and trumpet soloist. Downbeat writes: “Hagans himself shines as the braying Richard Forst in Faces.

Tim Hagans is the featured soloist on the soundtrack by Howard Shore for the movie The Score\, starring Robert DeNiro and Marlon Brando. \nIn June 2012 he was awarded an honorary doctorate of music from the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. \nTim Hagans has performed and recorded with Thad Jones\, Ernie Wilkins\, Joe Lovano\, Bob Belden and Dexter Gordon.
