Interesting Frantics-Related News
Through what seems to be a growing informal network of Frantics (the 80s Canadian radio/TV comedy troupe, not the Christian rock band) fans, I found out that there's going to be a re-release of their long-out-of-print debut album, Frantic Times. Apparently it is going to be released via the small State-side label Deep Shag Records (though as yet there’s nothing about it on their Web site). It is set to come out sometime in the Fall. And that's the sum total of what I know about it.

There's one other interesting tid bit of info: things are apparently moving along for an official Frantics Web site. I know that Paul C. has had the .com domain registered for years (which is why mine is a .net site).
The other weekend I listened to Al Rae's Summer Comedy Summary on CBC, a summer replacement comedy show for Madly Off in All Directions. He led off what a couple of Frantics skits and segued neatly into an interview and skit by The Vestibules, who are arguably the successor to The Frantic's style of comedy. Nice to see that they both still get airplay every now and then. Both brands of their comedy hold up well.
