Frente!

Incredible! 18 years since Frente! last played The Zoo and it was a Seamless performance from Angie Hart + Simon Austin and some new Ordinary Angels sharing the stage: Tamara Murphy, Sophie Koh and Ben Wiesner. The addition of Sally Seltman and her glorious songs and story telling as the first act for the night, complimented the show and with Sally recounting a story of playing a Frente! song at school, it was reaffirmed in that moment what most in this audience knew, Marvin the album - which we would hear in its entirety tonight - with incredible songwriting from Austin & Hart as well as Tim O’Connor and Mark Picton, plus a wide range of sonic influences, is an Indie Pop gem which permeated the musical landscape 3+ decades ago and has stood the test of time since. Rather than having No Time, after the 25 song set, the Most Beautiful Angie and Simon mingled with the crowd, some of whom travelled from one side of the country to the other to share the Air with this band, a Testimony to the magic of Frente!
