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!

Frente! Biography
Frente! was an Australian alternative pop/rock group, formed in 1991. The lineup featured singer Angie Hart, founder and guitarist Simon Austin, bassist Tim O'Connor (later replaced by Bill McDonald), and drummer Mark Picton (later replaced by Alastair Barden).
Frente! burst onto the Australian music charts with the singles "Ordinary Angels" and "Accidently Kelly Street" in 1992. Frente!'s debut album, Marvin the Album was also a success, going platinum in Australia.
Frente's Indie sound and adult contemporary groove trudged through the mish-mosh of the mid nineties Grunge Alternative trend and came out on the other side, older wiser and squeeky clean. Untainted by the anger and aggresion of that era, Frente digs grooves such as hippy-friendly tunes like Accidently Kelly Street, and Most Beautiful. Marvin, The Album, glistened as what could best be described as an "album version" of a one hit wonder. Frente attained radio play recognition and a music video release with the single Labour of Love and followed it up with the remake New Order cover, Bizarre Love Triangle and Chris Knox cover, Not Given Lightly.
Frente! released a second album, Shape, in 1996, but it didn't produce hit singles like their previous effort and hence sold poorly. Frente! broke up shortly after its release to pursue other projects.
Angie Hart moved on to the pop duo Splendid, and later to the band Holidays on Ice. Her debut solo album will be released in 2007.
