Frank Black is Black Francis again?

Frank Black is Black Francis again?

Is Frank Black changing his name to Black Francis again? it might make sense considering how FUCKING AWESOME this new disc bluefinger of his is. Very much a return to form, and the added female backing vocals add a nice touch.

Also, and I'm going to write about this more extensively for Chicagoist, but why aren't bands like the ones that played last night not fucking huge in Chicago? I mean, during Dorian Taj's set, EVERYONE in the room was dancing and this one gal was so giddy she just kept spinning in circles. The guitarist for The Penthouse Sweets (which, by the way, are very Old 97s by way of MNNPLS so how can that go wrong?) spent the first song or two on the ground just rolling around.

WHY ARE PEOPLE MISSING THE BOAT?!

And here's an MP3 of one of the tunes I spun last night, as I promised one of the band members. It's the demo version of the tune, but i can't find the album right this second so hopefully it'll do. Now start a dance party in your car.

MP3: Men Women & Children "Dance In My Blood (demo)"
