Frankie & The Deadbeats | JONÁŠ

Frankie & The Deadbeats (translated as losers, losers or lousy people) is a group of men with a dubious reputation, but as a musical group they are aiming high. A few years ago they moved from dirty clubs, where they played punk and rock’n’roll loudly and in the sweat of their faces (e.g. Hanba, Prague Conspiracy, Unholy Preachers, TiNG, Inverta Storca and others), to the music of their childhood, spent around campfires, and decided to win the hearts of Czech and foreign radio listeners and convince them that they like country, even if they never thought so before and that hats, shirts and cognacs are just cool. For Jonáš, music is a way to approach complex things in a straightforward way. Neither in the lyrics nor in the musical accompaniment is complex and they do not claim to be. It smells of the smoke of guitar campfires and the current alternative scene, inspired by 20th-century singer-songwriters led by Jonathan Richman and Vashti Bunyan.
